RARE BUCKS are another way of saying ‘Thank you’ for making a good behavior choice. Staff will use these "praise tickets" to show student recognition.
When we observe a small behavior (e.g., holding the door) or a big behavior (e.g., helping a friend who is being bullied) RARE BUCKS help us reinforce the kinds of behaviors we want to see. The benefits of using RARE BUCKS include:
1. Encouraging students to continue engaging in positive behaviors.
2. Reinforcing the benefit of making good choices, so that when a student faces a ‘tempting’ bad choice they have the history of positive interactions with staff to firm up their resolve.
3. RARE BUCKS can be very helpful to encourage students working on a behavior improvement goal to keep trying.
4. Providing praise to students helps build the positive adult-student relationship.
