    In reply to @jellison23
  • GabiTeaches Apr 12 @ 7:22 PM EDT
    A3 An idea that I have gotten from #dojochat is using having subs use Dojo for Zero Point Feedback!
  • techytess Apr 12 @ 7:22 PM EDT
    A4: I use pos & neg. Try to keep my % pos above 90%. That way when they hear the 'bong' it means something! #dojochat
  • I_teach_Pandas Apr 12 @ 7:22 PM EDT

    A4: Negative points are reserved for major infractions, like hurting others, destroying property, etc. #dojochat
  • mrshaskell213 Apr 12 @ 7:24 PM EDT
    A4 I use positive feedback only. When Ss see their peers earning points, that is incentive enough to work hard #dojochat

    #dojochat Worried that Ts worry about Ss reactions to negative feedback. Shouldn't we be teaching them resilience & self-reflection?
  • MrsASoto Apr 12 @ 7:35 PM EDT
    My Ss are SO much harder on themselves then I ever would be! (-5 for talking back) #dojochat
    • findlefaddle Apr 12 @ 7:32 PM EDT
      A4 positive pts for just about anything! My Ss came up with the behaviors & their values that they wanted to reward #dojochat

  • GabiTeaches Apr 12 @ 7:38 PM EDT
    .@CaitEileen_W Have you seen students repeat these pos. behaviors more frequently once they have earned points? #dojochat
    In reply to @CaitEileen_W, @CaitEileen_W
  • findlefaddle Apr 12 @ 7:38 PM EDT
    Same! I actually adjusted some of their suggested point values as they were definitely way harsher that I would be! #dojochat

    You can tell the gender of an ant by tossing it in water. If it sinks, girl ant. If it floats, buoyant. #dojochat
  • CaitEileen_W Apr 12 @ 7:39 PM EDT
    YES or if they see another student get feedback for it, they see it and think "i can do that!" #dojochat

  • findlefaddle Apr 12 @ 7:41 PM EDT
    A5 I don't think so. 0 pts and - pts give an important distinction between warnings & consequences #dojochat

    A5 maybe just to track something - private conversations more effective than neg points #relationships #dojochat
  • I_teach_Pandas Apr 12 @ 7:43 PM EDT
    I agree, but this is why I use the 0 pt for everything except severe behaviors #dojochat
    In reply to @SABrownlie
  • crystaldhaywood Apr 12 @ 7:43 PM EDT
    A5 I would consider giving only 0, which would serve as a parent communication tool. However my Ss πŸ’—to cash in those points! #dojochat
  • findlefaddle Apr 12 @ 7:44 PM EDT
    A5 Also, the 0 pt gives us an option to track behaviors & habitats that don't necessarily earn a negative point #dojochat

      Q5: Would you consider doing ONLY Zero Point feedback and if so, why? #dojochat
  • GabiTeaches Apr 12 @ 7:45 PM EDT
    A5 I would have to use Zero Point Feedback and see how it works for myself, before deciding to only use it. #dojochat
  • trinkleteach Apr 12 @ 7:45 PM EDT
    A5 I would like to try it out before using only Zero Point Feedback. So far it seems like there are some great pros. #dojochat
  • jackilugg Apr 12 @ 7:45 PM EDT
    Q5.5 (haha) Anyone have lunchroom Ts use CD to track behaviors? #dojochat

    I don't but some Ts at my school do. They share their class with the lunch monitor #dojochat

    Final Q of #dojochat for tonight! Q6: How do you set up expectations with students and parents around Zero Point feedback?
  • CaitEileen_W Apr 12 @ 7:48 PM EDT
    Final A Letting them know this is still important feedback, same as setting up for pos or needs work, needs to be understanding #dojochat
    In reply to @jackilugg
  • I_teach_Pandas Apr 12 @ 7:51 PM EDT
    A6: I usually explain it at BTS night for the parents, The kids we talk about it when we create our rules in the classroom. #dojochat
  • jackilugg Apr 12 @ 7:51 PM EDT
    #dojochat I have been known to use CD at home with my daughters and Zero Points come in handy here too. :-)

    A6: If there's a certain trend of a 0 pt. behavior , parents contacted. #dojochat
  • findlefaddle Apr 12 @ 7:53 PM EDT
    Final A Ss & I identify behaviors that should be noted but don't necessarily warrant - pt, often add note when awarding 0 pts #dojochat
  • jackilugg Apr 12 @ 7:56 PM EDT
    Notes! So important on Zero Points! #dojochat Bathroom use: "Might need to see doctor," usually stops that behavior...

  • GabiTeaches Apr 12 @ 7:56 PM EDT
    A6 Ss will create expectations for themselves and parents will be invited into the classroom where Ss will explain it to them. #dojochat
  • trinkleteach Apr 12 @ 7:57 PM EDT
    A6 Open communication with parents and allowing students to choose behaviors that are rewarded. #dojochat
