Technology has made it easier to continue education even when it's not possible to physically be in the classroom. Distance learning, or eLearning, has been a mainstay of post-secondary education for many years now. It allows working adults to pursue a degree and remain employed. But for many teachers and students in elementary, middle, and high school, distance learning is not typically part of the school environment.

Distance Learning and PBIS

When circumstances force teachers and students out of the classroom and into an eLearning situation, it can be challenging to stay on track. Maintaining your PBIS initiative might feel impossible in times like these, but you CAN offer PBIS incentives during distance learning! PBIS Rewards makes it easy for you to reward your students anywhere - even when they're not in your physical classroom. Keep connected with your students, award points, and let your students redeem their earnings, all virtually!

Need some ideas for PBIS incentives to use with distance learning?

We've got you covered! You can use these incentive ideas to keep your students engaged and make the most of your time in the virtual classroom.

Some of these distance learning incentives are designed to work in a digital classroom environment, and their effectiveness may depend on your school's approach to eLearning. For example, "Lunch with the Assistant Principal" would be a virtual lunch meeting via Google Hangout, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, GoToMeeting... however you may be connecting with your students. As schools everywhere adjust and adapt to new methods of learning, distance learning incentives can help maintain a sense of togetherness within the school community.

Have an idea for PBIS incentives for distance learning? Share it and we'll add it to the list!

This was our end-of-summer party. I ordered Mickey Mouse ears (Girls & Boys), gift bags, and treats (cotton candy, cracker jacks, ring pops, Mickey Mouse Goldfish crackers, etc.). I delivered them to my students. If you have too many to deliver, you could mail the ears only.

I Zoom shared the 12 most exciting Disney Virtual rides... along with the parade and fireworks at the end. We had a wonderful day at the park. I gave trivia information in between rides and shows. There is also a video taking you into the park and on the monorail.

Everything was purchased on Amazon. About $5 a child for ears/treats. $1.50 per child for ears only.
