Positive Behavior Management {Gold Tags}

Happy Sunday!

As many of you know, I do not use a clip chart in my classroom. In fact, I waited a year after I started blogging to even mention it. I would just kind of glide over my whole management system and be vague about it. And by that, I mean I never talked about it.

Because I was afraid.

I was afraid that people would throw rotten tomatoes. I even titled the post "I Don't Use A Clip Chart. Please Don't Throw Rotten Tomatoes."

Luckily for me, no one threw anything.

Phew. It takes a long time to do my hair. Even though I only have two hairstyles: Down or In a Ponytail. Either way, I don't need anyone throwing tomatoes or other food at it.

Simply put, students earn "gold tags" (or tickets) for making good choices all throughout the day. At the end of the week, they turn them in for Fun Friday (which are centers such as writing, art, play-doh, math or whatever is exciting and engaging for your learners) and the person with the most gold tags gets to choose their center first.

For more of an in depth look at this program, you can check out a post {HERE} or {HERE}.

Some people were ready to try something new. Some people said they were going to stick with their clip chart. Some people said they were going to keep using Class Dojo. I say do whatever works for you. Whatever helps you have a good day. Whatever works in your classroom. Gold tags work for me so that's what I use.

Recently, Miss Giraffe shared my behavior management post on her Facebook page and it was shared a lot and I've been receiving emails from a lot of people. Which I love, by the way! And now I'm getting lots of questions and lots of requests for this or that or how or why or when regarding gold tags.

So I spent some time this week and put everything in one place and it's all editable (over 100 pages!) so if you want to use this program in your classroom, you can totally customize it to meet your needs.

I personally use the weekly certificates because kids love the certificates and I can't handle daily communication.

I cut the certificates in half to save paper. I know. I'm such a goody goody.
I updated the certificates and included different monthly headers so you can change them out if you want, or you can use a generic one. Again, these are editable so that you can make them however you want.
I received a lot of emails about daily/weekly communication with a parent signature or initials required so I also have new behavior logs in the pack:

OR:

These options can also be changed monthly because I added different clip art. And these options are also editable.

If you want labels to make a Fun Friday chart like mine, I have a couple of versions for you in both b/w and color. And yes, these are editable, too!

Colorful curly edges.

Or black and white straight edges.
I've also got the matching labels for the clothespins. In color or black and white. Yep. They're editable, too.
Last, I've got letters to parents explaining the program. Because that's important. Obviously.
Alright. I think I covered everything. But, if not, feel free to email me or leave a comment because I love to talk about gold tags! I honestly can't imagine using a different behavior plan.
