1152, CODE, Riffel, Free and Low-Cost Reinforcers

This seminar is based on 16 years of research asking students, “What would mean the world to them. What can adult give you that would let you know you had done a good job, but it can’t cost any money.”

The participants were given a 75-page booklet filled with ideas they can share with all staff members.

Our research discovered that students do not desire tangibles. The answers broke into the following categories:

• Privileges
• Attention
• Leadership Opportunities
• Praise
• Assistance
• Touch (high five)
• Escape
• Supplies- I added this because I work with a lot of students who have low socio-economic status and they need school supplies, but handouts do not feel good; therefore, we let them purchase their own school supplies with good deeds. It helps their self-esteem.

This class is for members of Heart of Georgia RESA only.
