Recording positive outcomes
This requires appropriate completion of green sheets including:
-circling appropriate behaviours
-writing some more detail of the positive behaviour, including the lesson or location
-writing an appropriate outcome
For green sheets much work can be reduced by:
-filling in the year, the class, the lesson, the outcome (praise can be used as an initial comment) and finally by signing one's name
-having a pack of prefilled sheets for your classroom or focus area
-students or TA’s can circle behaviours, write the date, copy the details from the board or Smartboard (if multiple sheets are given out) and the students can sign sheets themselves
-there should be a weekly tally chart on the wall in classroom in a prominent position where the students can mark the number of green sheets they receive
-this also assists the teacher to make sure there is appropriate levelling
-at the end of the week, get the students to add up the total sheets in their class and compare this with other classes to help consistency
when you put out the following week's sheet, it may help to put a simple mark to show last week's achievement for each student
green sheets can be used in celebration assemblies
certificates for multiples - 25x and 50x may be appropriate
