This tool helps reduce the stress of the students while also helping the students self-regulate. This also allows the students a break during learning so that the students don’t become overwhelmed. This tool allows students to develop their creativity as well as their social skills.
An Outstanding You is given to students mostly by teachers for good behavior, doing great on an assignment, being helpful, or anything that ties back to the school motto of being Responsible, Respectful, and Safe. They can then be used in different ways depending on the teacher/classroom. These are helpful because students know the ways in order to earn them, so they want to be on their best behavior in order to gain an Outstanding You.
