Wildcard

Wildcard is another way of saying ‘Thank you’ for making a good behavior choice.

Whether a small behavior (e.g., holding the door) or a big behavior (e.g., helping a friend who is being bullied) Wildcard can help us reinforce the kinds of behaviors we want to see. Among the benefits of using Wildcard include:

• We encourage students to continue engaging in positive behaviors.
• We reinforce 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.
• Wildcard can be very helpful to encourage students working on a behavior improvement goal to keep trying.
• Providing praise to students helps build the positive adult-student relationship.
