Missouri Middle School utilizes ‘Cardinal Cards’ for their tangible system. Review the handout, Missouri Middle School Cardinal Card Procedures, and discuss the following:

  • What are some ideas for a creative schoolwide tangible system in your school?
  • How might you incorporate your school mascot or other school themes or slogans?
  • How can you use the work group process to engage all staff in the development of a schoolwide tangible system for your school?

Pause & Reflect #2

Review the example, Missouri Middle School Menu of Reinforcers, provided within the handouts section.

  • Brainstorm a list of reinforcers that could be provided to students in your building.
  • How will you communicate these options to staff?
  • How will you gather staff input and feedback while developing your menu of reinforcers?

Pause & Reflect #3

Review Missouri Middle School’s Schoolwide Recognition System Plan, available in the handouts section.

Begin brainstorming a menu or continuum of reinforcers for your school using the Blank Continuum of Schoolwide Procedures for Encouraging Social Behavior provided in the handouts section. Be sure to include short-term immediate reinforcers, as well as those that require more sustained effort.

Pause & Reflect #4

Review Missouri Middle School’s Staff Recognition System Plan, available in the handouts section.
