We are surrounded with negativity every day and
everywhere; adults talking about children that shows no manners and are not
properly disciplined. Do you as a teacher agree and complain about it, or are
you going to do something about this so called "problem".
Research
shows effectiveness in positive classroom management / -
encouragement. Why not start today in your class, and what better way than an
electronic platform: ClassDojo! This is a brilliant tool,
because it is so accessible and user friendly. Yess- even you can
try it out!
ClassDojo’s mission is to reinvent classrooms by bringing teachers, students
and parents closer together. Teachers use ClassDojo as a communication platform
to encourage students, and get parents engaged too.
ClassDojo is a behaviour management tool for
the classroom. Each student has a profile – complete with their own avatar – to
which teachers can assign positive and negative points (or 'dojos') throughout
the lesson or anytime during the day.
The classrooms becomes a positive place -
students work towards a goal and the class becomes a team! Its also important
to acknowledge students strengths and ClassDojo makes it
able to give individual acknowledgement. Students feel good about themselves and
it will reflect on their work and attitude. Students parents' also have access
to their childrens profile, so just maybe the students will think twice about
doing something in class.
This behaviour management tool is worth a try!
