Establish visible levels of achievement so students can be Recognized for gaining skills while you Reinforce your goals with Skill Belts.
Activity Goal: Recognize yearbook students
Materials: Bulletin board, colored paper, labels, name cards
Submitted by: The Renaissance Community
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Make a bulletin board or other display showing the “belt” colors (inspired by Karate belts) and a name card for each staffer.
- Once you select a Result (below), have editors help define the criteria for earning each color. If necessary, the adviser should make the final decisions based on the needs of the program.
- Post the criteria so staffers can see how to earn the next level.
Focus on one of the four following Results (goals). Consider using some or all of the criteria in that column for earning a belt.
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES:
- Have some kind of public acknowledgement (even a quick “hip hip hooray!” by the class) when students achieve the next belt and move their name on the chart.
- Do a social media post every Friday or Monday of the “Book Belts” or “YRBK Karate Kids”
- Celebrate black belts with an extra treat or prize, and share on social media.
