A Token Economy Made Easy through ClassDojo
Robacker, Cassie M.; Rivera, Christopher J.; Warren, Sandra H.
Intervention in School and Clinic, v52 n1 p39-43 Sep 2016
Students with behavioral and emotional disabilities spend less time on academic instruction due to their behavioral disruptions, contributing to the academic difficulties these students face. Classroom management strategies, in the form of positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS), incorporate principles of applied behavior analysis to shape student behaviors through the use of motivation and positively reinforce good behaviors. A strategy often used in PBIS systems is a token economy. This column provides practitioners with a strategy for implementing a token economy using ClassDojo, a web-based classroom management program available for computers and mobile devices.
