Daily Reports of Progress
Students receive Daily Reports of Progress ("Point Sheets" as we call them) that track their progress toward specific behavior goals on a period by period basis. The points earned are tabulated week by week. At the end of each week, students who have earned a designated number of points have the opportunity to participate in “Clubs.” Each “club” is different based on the range that their weekly points fall in (gold, silver or bronze). The pointsheet, as we call it, also serves as a means of communication between the school and the parent/guardian. Pointsheets go home daily and a signature is required when the pointsheet is brought back the next day. Teachers often write notes and attach homework or school bulletins to a student’s pointsheet. Parents often write notes back to the classroom staff on the pointsheet as well.
Point sheets not only serve as a communication device between the parent and classroom team about a child's behavior in school on a given day, they also serve as a barometer by which we gauge a student's behavior over all. Point sheets serve as a data collection device that shows us progress over time. We use this data to help us make decisions about whether a child is ready to move to a less restrictive program, for example. See the attached document for more information.
