Seeing so many schools spending money reinforcing students for replacement behaviors, we decided to research what students really desire and we found the reinforcements they sought were not tangible at all. They are wanting relationships with the adults in the school through Privileges, Attention, Leadership Opportunities, Praise, Assistance with a Task, Touch through high fives, Escape from a few tasks (like five free problems on today’s assignment), and we added supplies for those students who do not have the money or the family member to retrieve school supplies they need.

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