We use ClassDojo as a motivator in our classes to foster good rehearsal skills.
One of our favorite features of ClassDojo is the ability to reinforce behaviors through Dojo points. Students will be able to earn points for practicing, attending concerts outside of school, helping others, etc. Students can lose points by forgetting to bring their instrument, chewing gum in class, bothering others, etc. Please note that these points are not tied to grades. Instead, we will be working towards creating good rehearsal habits.
Over the course of the school year, we will keep track of these points and will have different incentives for students to work towards.
