Dad said that you can't value what you don't understand. So what do the kids understand in my Title 1 school? Money and rewards.
So, I'm going to look into a buisness plan. Make an outline for a buisness model in my classroom. here are my thoughts so far:
I'm CEO. I hand out the majority of PAWS. Work the small group interventions.
They can get fired but re-instated. If they get fired they loose their priviledges and have to work their way back up....so I need a plan for this.
PAWS (reward slips) = money.
They get paid money (Monopoly money) each day according to their PAWS (compliments).
Accountants, Human Resources, Board Director, Departments, Workers, Planners, Writers, Designers, Builders, Bankers.....different jobs in the company.
They can change jobs through a process.
They can have a savings account.
They can purchase rewards with their money....pizza party, PJ party, pencils, notebooks, stickers, action figures.....(store?)
They can get bonuses if their department out performs their goals?
Using academic language.
When the company is running efficiently then they would be able to complete tasks in their department.....
Math: deal with the money in the company.
Reading: Reading the policies in the company.
Writing: Writing the policies for the company.
Health: We do Yoga....fitness center at company.
Science: Professional Development to enhance our ideas for company growth.
This has probably been done before...but I love this idea and how it can help bring a special kind of classroom management into the classroom.
