"Teachers should applaud positive behavior that occurs in their classrooms as often as possible" (Marzano, 2014)  By being more positive and recognizing the students who are following the rules and expectations are more likely to listen to you, it encourages others to follow directions, and it encourages a more positive environment within the classroom.

There are 2 strategies that fall under this element.

1. Tangible recognition
2. Phone calls, emails, and notes]]> 2018-06-13 18:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthanhawker/q1xh0temgxqu/wish/267070117 samanthanhawker https://padlet.com/samanthanhawker/q1xh0temgxqu/wish/267070670 This is when teachers give students some type of reward for doing their job and following directions. This would include, but not limited too: free time, field trips, individual recognition, class recognition, treats,  homework passes, and game time. 

Implementation: 
You can give students these rewards as much as you want  and as random as you want. I would start off by rewarding a lot, but not over the top, and reinforce with candy or at the end of the week, more recess time. Do this randomly, because if you become predictable, the students will manipulate it and if you don't follow through one time, respect and relationships can be hurt. ]]> 2018-06-13 18:28:48 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthanhawker/q1xh0temgxqu/wish/267070670 samanthanhawker https://padlet.com/samanthanhawker/q1xh0temgxqu/wish/267072129 This strategy can be extremely powerful. "A good goal for a teacher might be to make one positive call every afternoon, not only because the affirmation can do wonders for the self-confidence and future behavior of students, but it also can be very uplifting for a teacher to hear the sense of pride in a family member's voice" (Marzano, 2014). By giving positive phone calls, emails, or notes home, students become proud and excited to tell their family members. 

Implementation:
It is extremely difficult to find time in your busy day to make 20-something phone calls home every day. You could break your class list apart and just do weekly calls and send texts, emails, or notes home on the other days of the week if you want to do it every day. Making phone calls are more personable, so I encourage this strategy more so than emailing or notes home.
By making phone calls home, it will increase your rapport with the families and it is nice to have positive calls home rather than negative. It helps the families see the students in a positive way, too. ]]> 2018-06-13 18:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthanhawker/q1xh0temgxqu/wish/267072129 samanthanhawker https://padlet.com/samanthanhawker/q1xh0temgxqu/wish/267072922 Tangible Recognition :
You can give the students free game time on the iPads/Tablets/ChromeBooks etc. The book suggested using the internet to do virtual field trips. You can also give students the option to make videos or recordings as a project option when other students are limited to their options. 

Phone Calls, Emails, and Notes :
Emailing is the most obvious use of technology for this strategy. You can also use text messaging, Class DOJO, or Google Classroom to send virtual notes and "phone calls" where you can record yourself and send it to the parents.
