INSTRUCTIONS FOR RANDOM KNOCK:
-
- Prep Staffulty that random knocks will be happening during the month, quarter, or entire school year.
- Prepare a treat that is easy to bring to a classroom and pass out to everyone.
- Knock and the classroom door and ask if they have met the criteria, example “Hey there, was everyone on time for class today? YES? You all get donuts!”
- Pass out the reward! Soon, everyone will develop the habit you want to see more of at your campus.
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES & IDEAS:
- Spread the random rewards – focus on a grade level at a time. Like freshmen in Q1, Seniors in Q2, etc.
