Behavior Management - No Problem!

If you haven't heard of ClassDojo, then stop what you are doing right now (well read this post first and then stop what you are doing) because it is the coolest thing in classroom management! And yes, it is another FREE resource! You can access this website from your computer or more conveniently, from your Apple Ipad or other notebook device.  First, students get to pick their avatar. Once you have set up your class, then students can easily be assigned points for positive or negative behavior. Class Dojo already has a list of behaviors but you can modify it to your own liking. On ClassDojo, you can also print parent reports and quickly take attendance.

This program is very user friendly and extremely helpful to teachers like myself who are not techno savvy. Now I have to be honest, I have yet to try ClassDojo with my own class but I have a coworker who uses it ALL the time and she absolutely loves it! She uses it in conjunction with her clip chart behavior system. Students can clip up or down depending upon how many points they earn or lose. This helps challenge students who seem to reach the top of the clip chart before lunch and vice versa, it allows students who struggle with their behavior more chances to improve instead of ending up on the bottom of the clip chart before first recess.

Check it out and have fun!
