Behavior Management - Positive Reinforcement

I have used a very simple tool for acknowledging and encouraging appropriate and expected student behavior. I simply hand out paper stars, LOTS of paper stars. I hand them out for as many appropriate and expected behaviors as I can. Students get immediate feedback that their behavior is appropriate and expected and they continue to act accordingly. The feedback is simply the paper star AND your positive attention. I have used the “paper stars” with K-5 students. It hasn’t failed me yet!
