BLOOMZ

TheBLOOMZ App used at school is a visual behavior monitoring tool. Students clip up and are continuously praised after exemplifying positive behavior above and beyond expectation. They clip down after repeatedly failing to meet a behavioral expectation. Students start on green and advance positively toward red, negatively toward pink. This allows them to self monitor their behavior and make changes if needed. Students are rewarded when they positively clip off the chart, and have consequences for clipping down below yellow. Furthermore, at Yealey, we make a conscious effort to praise students at a ratio between 5/1 to 7/1 (positive to negative). This shifts the focus to students getting that attention they yearn for from positive behaviors. Not from getting the attention they need (or getting out of work) from the negative.
