This week’s class covered implementation of PBIS in the classroom, specifically tier two implementation. As a substitute teacher, I have worked in classrooms where we implemented various forms of level two PBIS incentives. The most common being sticker charts. The student will have two or three behaviors that are being worked on, typically related to classroom disruption or staying on task. When the student is displaying the preferred behavior, then the student receives positive verbal reinforcement and a sticker on their sticker chart. When the student earns themselves a full sticker chart, then the student receives the agreed upon positive reinforcement activity or prize. One thing of note is that positive reinforcement activities are more effective than positive reinforcement prizes. I think this is because the student actually craves the attention of their teacher and thus values it more than a trinket or prize.
