I’m not really sure where our competitive nature came from, but boy is it present! So it’s really no surprise that competition is a huge part of culture in my classroom. I think it has been since I started teaching, but I certainly didn’t have a structured system in those first few years. By far this is the best classroom management system I’ve ever used! This past summer, I was scrolling through Pinterest and found a blog post about it (you can read it here). I modified it to work for my class and have loved the impact it has on my culture. Here is how it works for me!
Cohorts LOSE points when...everyone isn't meeting expectation, procedures go poorly, etc. Cohorts WIN points when...everyone perfectly meets expectation, meets a goal (I time my kids passing in papers and give points for it), working hard, focus, lots of participation, etc. Don’t ever let classroom management be something you think about second, third or last. The culture in your classroom is the MOST IMPORTANT thing and the way you start off strong is having a great classroom management system!
