Super Improvers

To elevate the amazing experiences your child will have this year, our classroom will participate in the powerful game, Super Improvers, developed by Chris Biffle, Director of Whole Brain Teaching. This positive tool not only motivates students to follow our classroom and school rules, it also individually acknowledges improvement, not ability, in both academic and social skills. 

In our classroom you will see a thirteen level Super Improver Game display. As students show improvement throughout the year they will move up through the  levels. Improvements can be made in reading, writing, math, handwriting, classroom behavior, social skills, or anything! 

Our class goal will be for students to set personal records and break them. In this wondrous game, students’ only competitor is themselves! 

One Big Point: Students will never level down. If there are any behavior issues that come up in class requiring a parent contact, I will notify you. I want to focus students on the growth  they can make. No matter where they start, each student can grow. We will celebrate that growth, and hope you can help celebrate at home, too!
