Happy Summer! Welcome back to the Crazy Critter Café! So I've been thinking about how I'd like to use my Class Dojo reward system and here's the latest...Numbered Tubs to match the Class Dojo "point clubs". I used this idea toward the end of the school year and it seemed to work well. Students gave input on what they'd like to have in the tubs (thus, the 2 levels of sweet treats!) My goal was to have a daily Dojo time, but due to our hectic afternoon schedule, that couldn't always be done, so I'd find time during the week for our class Dojo time (or every 2 weeks if I felt more time was needed for students to reach certain Dojo Point Clubs). I had a checklist and whenever we had Dojo time, I would write the point club for each student so I would know which reward tubs they've picked from during that particular Dojo time. At a designated date, all Class Dojo points would reset and students would start over. I bought 2 plastic organizers to help keep the rewards separate. All I have to do when we have Dojo time is snap apart the 5-15 trays and pull out the 20-30 point drawers for easy distribution of rewards! I'm sure there are tons of ways to use Class Dojo in the classroom. I found that starting simple was more effective. I didn't get overwhelmed with keeping up with rewards and trying to grab my iPad to give Dojo points every second of the day. I used it mostly during transition, independent work, and center times. Make it work for you and your class! I'll switch out rewards periodically so students don't get bored with these. I'd love to hear how you use Class Dojo in your class. Please add a comment below! :-) Thanks for stopping by the café!

One of the biggest challenges of virtual/distance learning is keeping students engaged and focused throughout the entirety of a class period.
In term three last year I blogged about behaviour management and how I was coming to terms with learning how to speak the language of the virtues. The Year 4 class I had come into in term three had had a far bit of upheaval in the second term despite the best efforts of my predecessors and senior management to maintain stability, and as a result the class was not the cohesive unit you'd expect half way through the year and behaviour was erratic. While I made progress using the virtues and building relationships, the behaviour management rewards side was not capturing the whole class. I had been giving out "Caught Being Good" cards (we called them Tuis - after the NZ Music Awards - to fit in with the class theme), but some kids had lost interest, and others were stealing them from their classmates. It became a massive effort to collect in the cards and issue the points and add them up. Before the end of term three I was very despondent with how things were going and I was not enjoying the class, a personal disappointment to me as a professional teacher. Something had to change. I had heard of Class Dojo. I'd seen it talked about at Educamps and Eduignites and ULearn14. I had been involved in Twitter Chats and Facebook discussions on its merits. I went to the Eduignite at Hautapu in term three and caught up with @ariaporo22, aka Alex, a high school teacher from Rotorua who is the Class Dojo Community Leader for New Zealand. We sat down and discussed the merits. Alex uses it for most of her classes. She uses it to reinforce the positives and rarely, if ever, used the negative side of Class Dojo. I also talked to Maria, the teacher in the class next door, who was also using Class Dojo, to get her perspective on it. And then there were discussions with senior management on the way forward and how we could change the culture of the class and emphasise positive behaviour. Three weeks before the end of term three I decided to revamp the behaviour management programme for term four and bring Class Dojo in to the mix to up the ante. At ULearn15 Alex talked me through the set up and how it works over the cocktail event on the first night as we tried some MLE furniture out of size. We set up an account and a "practise class" on my phone and practised giving and taking points and making new rewards to give out. We also practised changing the monsters for each student. The practise run - this was part of Alex's mini tutorial at ULearn15 with me. Later on, I set up the real account for my class and it was very easy to do so after Alex's mini tutorial. On the first day of school I sat the kids down and I really wanted to show them the new programme on the ActivBoard.... but in the holidays the school server died and my laptop and the new server were not talking. So using my phone I showed them the Class Dojo video for the class and talked them through it. I think the monsters hooked the kids. They liked the bright colours, the multiple eyes and the horns. I also focused on the virtues that we needed to use in the class to develop the virtue of Unity - friendliness, patience, responsibility, respect, self-discipline, consideration. Many of these virtues the children could tell you what they looked like but many students were struggling to demonstrate them in how they behaved. An example of some of the positive behaviours you can edit. As Alex suggested I tried to keep the positive side of the tool the focus. I loaded up the rewards with references to the virtues we really needed to use in the class. And then I went made on the clicking. I'm not going to tell you that it solved all my classroom management issues with this class, but the term was a lot better than the previous term. Those kids who really wanted to learn and were shining examples of how to behave in the class were recognised for their efforts in a very visual way. They soon led the points tally. My students who were not shining lights trialled behind. That's when I brought in an incentive. A sticker chart. I needed something that was visible when the Class Dojo was not shining on the ActivBoard. So every time a child got another 50 points, they got a sticker. After every 150 points they got 15 minutes golden time. They could use the golden time to use the i-Pads, the computer, play with the class Lego or other equipment, read, or even go outside and kick a ball around. When the class got to 1000 points (we did this most weeks), we negotiated a game to play outside. This got my students who were not shining lights moving. They wanted the golden time. They wanted the outside game. You have to love bribery. The kids often wanted to change their monsters. I had to limit this to once a week per child and after school, because it could be time consuming. Class Dojo has provision for you to link in the families so they can see from home how it is going. It can also be used to communicate with parents But as this was my first time and the school had no precedence in doing this, I decided against it. If I had been in a school with established relationships with parents I may have considered this. However, some parents had heard about it from their children and came in after school to check progress as their child changed their monster. When we had Student Led Conferences, some parents commented that their child had made their own accounts at home and ran their own Class Dojo system! I also kept giving out the Virtues Cards. Class Dojo sometimes helped me with this because I could go back and check points I had given for a certain behaviour. I probably gave out more Virtue Cards than before. These are some of the highlights of using Class Dojo and some things I learned from a term using it: You can change the value of the points awarded. I kept it at 1 point for everything, but if there is a behaviour you really want to push, you can change the value to a higher point reward and that may be a way to get that behaviour occurring more. I could use it at my computer or from my phone. That meant I could be taking a reading group on the mat, and when I see Bob at the back of the room working hard, rather than ticking his name on the board or going to my laptop to click a Dojo point, I could do it from my phone on the floor. It also meant that at assemblies or whole school singing or Kapa Haka, I could give out points for participation or respect or whatever from my phone. When relievers came in (who were usually inhouse relievers at this school), I could open Class Dojo on their laptops and they could dish out the points to the kids too, ensuring the class behaviour management was consistent. It also meant I could see that some kids were behaving at least every time my laptop or phone dinged! I would use the Random button at the end of the day to let kids go and give them a point for a behaviour. This was a great time for me to be able to end the day by saying something positive to each child. During the time we were doing Athletic sports rotations and I didn't have my class, I used the Random button to make the students accountable for their behaviour with other teachers. If a student's name came up, I would asked their peers if they deserved a point and what behaviour they should get it for. Some students would be honest and declare they did not deserved a point as a result. If they did this, I would thank that student for their honesty. I also used Random to give out special prizes. When we had the Tuis I would do a Tui Draw and the students pulled out of the kete would be able to choose from the choosing box (pencils, highlighters, erasers, mini notebooks, rulers, colouring pencils...). I was able to still do this by clicking on Random. You can use Class Dojo to remind you who is not there! When we did the roll each morning, we would also do the roll on Class Dojo and the students not there would fade grey so you didn't reward them points. If a child arrives late, you go into attendance and click their name and they come back bold again. Each child also gets a point for being at school on time. You can also label students late if they come in as you are doing the roll. You can award a group of selected kids or individuals or the whole class at once. You can create groups. I made groups for my reading and maths groups. If I felt a session went well it meant I could click on the Short Tailed Bats maths group or the Takahe reading group and the children in that group received points. Any absent child would not receive points. There are a whole pile of resources, like certificates and more, that you can access to enhance the experience. I have yet to use these. You can check out the statistics for behaviour as a whole class, group or individual. If you have instigated the facility for parent participation, you can post notices, photos and videos for parents to view. It's called Class Story. There is now a goal feature - that was developed after I made my sticker chart. Ironic. Class Dojo sends you messages to tell you about developments through the app. These are some of the things I would like to see Class Dojo do to enhance the tool for teachers and students, if possible: Make it so the students can create their own monster - colour, number of eyes, visible teeth, horns.... I suspect it is already available - but the kids have to have their own log ins to do it. When you click on a child or a selection of children, make it so you can click more than one behaviour or the same behaviour multiple times to reward a child. Allow the teacher to choose different sounds to go with a behaviour so the children can identify the reward by the sound as well. Have a greater variety of icons for the behaviours. I had icons doubling up, which was tricky visibly. On the whole, I found this tool helped my class become a calmer group during term four that had better behaviour to enable more learning. I was able to reward those students who often slip under the radar because you can become too focused on the children with undesirable behaviour. It forced me (gladly) to look for the positives in a group that I was losing hope in. Class Dojo enabled us as a class to focus on what was good in our class. It is easy to set up (plenty of YouTube tutorials if you need them), the app can be used across a variety of platforms and the administrators are regularly coming up with new features. The use of it in the classroom can be as easy or laborious as you want.
A compilation of 30 virtual rewards for students during online learning to make virtual classroom management a bit easier.
This year it seems that I have quite the chatty class! They are so lively and full of things to talk about! While I do allow some chatter in my classroom while they are completing work and activities sometimes the noise level gets to a point that it's hard for anyone to concentrate - 24 voices all on at once. I'm using my attention grabbers a lot during the day. So I've upped the ante a bit with some Class Dojo Rewards. I LOVE Class Dojo! It's amazing and highly effective in class, especially when they hear the dings and the bonks. Right back on track! I'm using the rewards weekly. For every point at the end of the day, they get 1 Dojo Dollar. I keep track on a tracking form on their desk and with a checklist. Every Wednesday they can cash in their Dojo Dollars and receive a prize. It's up to them and they can save if they so choose. Some of the passes they can choose are listed here: The Point Punch Passes are used for keeping track of their cashed in rewards. I printed out the cards, backed them on cardstock, and then laminated them. When a student wishes to cash in for a reward, I punch the number of dollars they redeemed. They can take the card home and show their parents and they receive a certificate that shows what they choose. This is and will always be a FREE product in my TpT store. Grab yours now!! Class Dojo Rewards Kit PS - This kit is COMPLETELY editable! Make it your own. Personalize it. Have fun! Do you Class Dojo? How does it work in your classroom? I would love to hear about it! Thanks so much! Happy Teaching!

Hi friends! Are you as frazzled as I am?? Lord have mercy...end of the year is SO stressful!! Each day I get excited about having 14 days left and frantic that I only have 14 days to get everything done! I can't wait to spend my days with my puppy, my online buddies, and my sweet brother. Of course my husband too, but that punk doesn't get home until late anyway. :) Last summer, I read Positive Discipline and it totally wrecked my world. It changed the way I saw behavior management in my classroom, and challenged me to find new ways to connect with my students and encourage good behavior. I got rid of my clip chart, Class Dojo, and lots of other things. I tried to focus on whole class rewards, and have individual conferences. I still TOTALLY believe in this...I haven't given that up. :) BUT my sweeties had been begging me to use Class Dojo...they use it in specials. And I honestly felt like there were times in our day that they weren't learning as much as they could because our class was getting a little c-r-a-z-y. I saw this photo from the Science Penguin and it really struck a chord with me. It reminded me that there isn't ONE way to manage a classroom...each classroom is different, and sometimes each month in each classroom is different! So I decided to give Class Dojo another shot. But I was determined NOT to just use it as a way to ding my kiddos 3 times a day for doing something wrong. I have a few tips for how I have implemented it these past 2 weeks, and a fun tip on changing their avators that I learned from one of my littles! First...I do not have a limit to the number of points they can get in a day. I also don't restart it everyday! They love adding them up and I love that they work hard for days (or weeks) for rewards. Like I said, I give a LOT of points, hahaha! This group needs constant reinforcement, so it works great! I have no idea how many I give in a day, but I try to give them all day long...ESPECIALLY when I am doing something like guided reading...I can keep my group going uninterrupted, and give immediate feedback to kiddos reading independently. I know the whole "everyone gets a trophy" philosophy is not for everyone. And my kids do NOT all have tons of points. But I do my best to make sure that all my sweeties can get points during the day. One of my little friends has a very hard time staying in control of his body. He loves to run, jump, karate kick, etc. :) So...there are times in our day that he is just being calm. And I reward him for that...because for him, that is trying! Of course, he has far fewer points than some of my kiddos with stellar behavior. But I don't ever want a baby to go a whole day without hearing great job and being rewarded for that! I love the data piece of Dojo!! For us...we aim to have 90% positive by Friday. If we do, we get extra time playing outside. They think its for them...but it's really more for me! It keeps me accountable that I am constantly finding ways my students are being successful. You can also look at individual kiddos...this is GREAT data. You can use it for RTI and also for self-reflection. If one of my babies has a big percentage of negative points, I know that I have been focusing on that too much. He might truly be slipping up that many times, but no one wants to work for someone who is constantly criticizing. We want to work for people who make us feel proud! And now for the big tip...I knew they could change their avatars. But I thought that just meant changing to a different Class Dojo monster. I was SO wrong. One of my kiddos taught me how to do this...his family actually has their own account. I love it! :) So here are step by step directions! Ignore "add your students." You just click the one you want to change :). SO fun! Our Class Homepage looks like Disney Princess, Pokemon, and Mortal Kombat threw up all over it! And I love it! I hope these tips are helpful to you! I'm sure there are tons of other Dojo tips I don't know about! I can't wait to hear your fabulous Dojo ideas!
