Let’s stop rewarding expected behavior and restore accountability for behavior. Bribing everyone with points is not a good plan. #education #teachersoftiktok #edleadership #principalsoftiktok #behavior #pbis

This represents an embarrassing misunderstanding of basic behavior principles, but would require far more effort and information to correct than this platform allows. Some serious re-education is in order, though.

“Good evening ma’am. Do you know why I pulled you over? You were following the posted speed limit. I just wanted to give you $100.” Said no cop ever.

You don't understand how rewards for expected behaviors translate to real life? Have you never received a paycheck for doing your job? Or heard of a bonus? Literally no one who knows what they are talking about says there should never be consequences BTW

TRUTH! We are giving raffle tickets to kids for each day that they only have “ONE” tardy! What message does that give? On top of it, we got rid of giving credit/points for completing schoolwork on time. Only grade the summative. Of course the kids ask, is this graded?

I am a retired teacher of 36 years. I have made your point(s) for years. You are so right. If this system worked then in real life we would have police out doling out rewards to folks who are not breaking the law, rather than catching those who are violating it.

I think it's a powerful way to demonstrate to kids the cumulative consequences of behavior. We've implemented a system like this for our 5th grade as they transition to a departmentalized system.

I really like these videos. Very on point and clear messaging. Think there’s a time and a place for positive incentives and the idea is a bunch of small wins can create a larger win. But that isn’t going to happen in the absence of consequences - both are necessary.

Point 1: I agree with the spirit of what you're saying- that is, a PBIS or PBSIS or Positive Action-type program, inconsistently implemented, can backfire. Just one example... the oversaturation of metaphoric Dojo points, where every good action is deemed rewardable: what does this mean in terms of building virtuous character in young children? Is there a tipping point for when good actions should be rewarded, and how intentional can educators be in implementing such a system? Point 2: We do need a series of escalating consequences, at both the classroom and school levels. At the same time, how intentional are we in implementing a tiered behavioral intervention system for our children? Point 3: Points 1 and 2 become challenging to implement based on where one educates. Perhaps we should be talking more about this.

My experience in watching my sons class from k to gr10, same kids was those kids that are disruptive have different learning needs unmet with our current system. System needs the change not the kids.

You are wrong how do kids know what an expected behavior is?? These have to be taught and then reinforced just like when teaching math. If a kid got a math problem wrong you wouldn’t give them a detention correct? Skills have to be taught and then reinforced even with behavior
