I gave several Pride tickets to 2 students who had no fear of breaking up a fight between two very large serious dudes. They stepped up when no one else did. 1 student was a freshman. They both showed leadership, and helped tremendously. Glad to see it.

This week I have given out PRIDE tickets for students helping other students with their work, participating in class discussions and volunteering to help me with various activities.

This year I have handed out pride tickets for kids who are using their class time responsibly, for being helpful and for contributing thoughtful responses to class discussions. I've noticed that several students have a specific place where they keep their pride tickets such as an extra pencil pouch.
Pride tickets are what kids use to use the restroom (just one) and they can also redeem bonus points with each ticket as well.

I gave a ticket to a student who cheerfully endured a day when his schedule was changed three separate times.  He was exasperated, but stayed polite and positive.

On Tuesday, we were working in small groups and a student asked to work alone because she had no friends in the class. Another student, unaware of the conversation, immediately came up to the student and asked her to join her group. The new student was so relieved and it was beautiful to see.

I let students use tickets to go to the restroom once their passes run out or to "bail" their cellphone out of jail.

Students are feeling the changes on campus and one came to me this morning to tell me how she is FOR SURE following dress code today and she will not be getting "in trouble". I gave her a PRIDE ticket for being respectful in following our expectations but also independent and determined in changing her behavior.

Since I have been using the PRIDE tickets as a way to earn permission to do things like use the restroom, sit by a friend for a day, or get an extension on an assignment I not only have less students repeatedly asking for special privileges, but many more kids asking how they can EARN privileges. That's what I call right thinking.

One of my students observed a student being disruptive in another classroom. The teacher didn't know the student. My student realized that the disruptive student was in my class right before his class. He held that student accountable by obtaining the students name and giving it to the other teacher. They are starting to police themselves!

We have been using three different rewards systems in our class. We pass out tickets during class for good behavior. They can be used to buy snacks or they can be converted into Pride Bucks. We also pass out stars at the end of class for students that did a good job. If they get enough stars on their card, we will get them something they want.

I have given out more PRIDE tickets in the past two weeks than I did all last year. I am embracing the process and excited to see the results. So far I have really been focused on students being on time. So if they show up on time they are getting a PRIDE Ticket. An area where I could improve would be those spontaneous moments in the classroom, when a student does or says something great.

We won't always have time to do so but I find it helpful to be specific in the comment section of the PRIDE ticket. For example: "I appreciated how you showed the effort to obtain makeup assignments. That's responsibility!" I notice students stop to read and think about it rather than shove a blank ticket in their bag.

I rewarded students who welcomed a shy new student into their working group.

We have worked really hard this week to model our PRIDE expectations. How are you rewarding our Trojans? Add a response with an example of a PBIS ticket you awarded and what it was for! #weareYV
