As part of Tier 1, it is essential to encourage students to follow the identified expectations every day. The best way to get students to continue to engage in appropriate behavior, is by creating a school-wide acknowledgment system. The purpose of a school-wide acknowledgment system is to provide all staff with the means to acknowledge those students who are displaying positive behaviors. By pairing the acknowledgment (i.e., praise) with the delivery of an earned reward, students are more likely to engage in those recognized, desired behaviors more often. To be effective and gain student buy-in, all staff must participate in acknowledging students for following the school-wide expectations.
