Blue Chip Rewards
October 20, 2009
From C Sanders, a high school English teacher in Brooten, Minnesota
Our school uses blue chip rewards rather than an abundance of medals or certificates. Teachers are issued blue plastic coins that say, "Caught in a good act." We hand them out to students who we witness doing admirable deeds – picking up paper on the floor, helping a classmate, etc. On Fridays, all students who earn a blue chip that week are excused ten minutes early for ice cream before school lets out for the weekend.

Good idea. I think you are correct in rewarding good behavior. I believe the students would love to get out of class early and the ice cream is an extra incentive!
