\n\"\"This tool is a great way to implement a positive community in the classroom. Many times we think of positive behaviors and accomplishments people around us do but do not tell them. Praise is one of the most simple and effective methods for engaging and motivating your students. Praise, when used correctly, may help children overcome behavioral issues and enhance their attitudes toward learning.<\/p>\n

This tool would be best used weekly. I believe Wednesdays are the best days to implement time for the notes. It\u2019s the middle of the week and students are needing an uplifting. Although, Kudos Notes can be flexible and can be used a couple times a week or biweekly. It is best used when you notice students are struggling going through the week or needing a positive comment that will brighten their day. One of the positives of Kudos Notes is not needing many materials or preparation. Students will be given a Kudos card and they will have 5 minutes to write to a peer of their choice. They will choose to write to a peer who has been kind, making good decisions, brightening the day, encouraging other students, etc. After students have written their notes, they will pass it to the peer they wrote it for. I would challenge students to choose a new student each week- so everyone can receive a card. I would also suggest the teacher taking a part of Kudos Notes. Students also like to hear good things from their teachers. I would keep track and make sure you are choosing a new student each week.<\/p>\n

\"\"I believe this is most suited for the supportive phase. It promotes pleasant attitudes toward others, as well as a sense of community and belonging. This tool encourages students to work together and engage with one another. It aids in the prevention of classroom misbehavior by allowing students to recognize their accomplishments and effort in the classroom. This tool is very much in line with student-centered and collaborative theories of influence. These enjoyable and interactive activities would be less important to an educator with a teacher-centered influence. A teacher with a student-centered approach, on the other hand, would do all in their power to build a community in their classroom. It also belongs to the cooperative side of the influence continuum because both the teacher and students participate jointly in the activity.<\/p>\n
