Students’ misbehavior is related to teachers’ burnout (Skaalvik and Skaalvik 2017), stress level, perceived teaching efficacy, and job satisfaction (Collie et al. The reward (usually 2 times a year)is for a “pop-pop party” (popcorn & Popsicle)for the class. Disruptive behavior in class has many negative effects on both students and teachers. My chart on my classroom wall is a CLASS reward – the kids know that EVERYONE has to have a good day. Your Bingo idea seems to solve the problem.

And what about the kid who had 10 tickets in the bucket and never got pulled for a prize, while someone who had just one ticket got one? In the end, I tried my best to follow through, but at the end of the year I ditched the idea. BUT – since the kids were all in different classes, WHEN did I pick the winning tickets and hand out prizes? The kids wanted to be there when there name was called, so it just didn't work. It all seemed like such a wonderful idea. And I had a prize box (freebies from my state conference, dollar store stuff, etc).

A couple of years ago I printed these adorable prize tickets (like what you'd get at a carnival) and handed them out when I saw someone doing something nice. Anyhow – about the behavior bingo – Seems like a great idea. The problem is that the teachers in these programs need to remember that we are just like the kids – we can't sit still for hours of power-points and lectures unless we can participate, move around, laugh, etc. Teachers (not just art teachers) are the worst behaved at sitting still for prof.
