I had a teacher request to make a behavior contract for a preK student in her class who hardly speaks. His parents speak Spanish primarily but mom speaks English, as well. Seeing that my background is intermediate grades, I had to draw on my mom experience. Since my oldest is four, I thought about what would work with my girls. I am also a super organized person
I wanted the chart to be a half a page
I brainstormed as many rewards as I could and even asked my daughter what she wanted. The thing with behavior contracts is that you have to find the student's currency, what will they work for? This could change every week or daily, therefore this contract has numerous rewards to work for.
The student first decides what they will be working for
This example shows the student is working for a reward of taking their shoes off. I chose to use a signal so that I would not have to stop teaching to tell the student they earned their token. I use a thumbs up symbol. When I give the student the signal, they add their token (lego with Velcro attached)
When they earn five tokens, they get their reward. For some students, they may need to be earning tokens every five minutes, whereas others could earn all five in one day. The key is the reward must be immediate when they earn it and that you never take a token away. If you plan to use it on a student who needs many reminders, every time they earn their reward - they begin again.
1. They choose a reward (it may be the same as the last one, or completely new).
