If they reach a certain amount they get a small celebration reward.<\/p>\n<p>-teams of 4 are optimal because it\u2019s two partnerships. Also, it\u2019s small enough where everyone is accountable, but big enough that there\u2019s not too much pressure on any one student.<\/p>\n<p>-the teams have their desks together and sit together when other grouping is not in place.<\/p>\n<p>-teams work together to earn points.<\/p>\n<p>-the points are recorded on the board or on a chart so everyone can see them .<\/p>\n<p>-only the teacher can award team points. However, I can invite another teacher to give their opinion on which team\/s have earned points. This keeps other teachers from completely taking over your own system, but allows for some continuity.<\/p>\n<p>-the team with the most points at the end wins a prize. If it\u2019s really close, I might award two teams. Or, if one team staged a huge comeback, I sometimes reward them for turning the ship around.<\/p>\n<p>-immediately after the winners have been named, move the students into new teams.<\/p>\n<p>-the winning team is responsible for erasing all of the previous points from the chart. That way, it\u2019s ready for a fresh start.<\/p>\n<p>I believe this is a supportive stage strategy. I am rewarding points to encourage positive behaviors and showing what behaviors don&#039;t receive points nonverbally. I think this fits with the theory of Collaborative &amp; Teacher Directed but leans more towards teacher directed. The teacher with some collaboration with students and other teachers, give out the points to the teams.<\/p>\n<p>More Information &#8211;<br \/>\nTool Source: Mentor teacher<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/teachthinkelementary.blog\/team-points-for-classroom-management\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you notice groups of students staying on task or not you can add or remove points.
