This PowerPoint based rewards board is designed to reward positive behaviour, placing additional focus on collective class responsibility. It is fully animated with moving backgrounds, sound effects and nine editable boxes to showcase your clear expectations. It follows my own school’s behaviour rewards system (House Point and Commendation) but you can change it to your own tiered system. You can also change any of the behaviours to suit your own expectations. To use: Present the PowerPoint on your projector or IWB. Use the plus and minus buttons on each behaviour expectation to place the corresponding number in the Rewards Panel at the bottom of the screen. E.g. the ‘Kindness’ plus button will add the ‘1’ and the ‘Kindness’ minus button will remove it. Once boxes 1-4 are filled in, the class are rewarded with a House Point. Once all boxes (1-6) are filled in, the class are rewarded with a Commendation. The red boxes are for poor behaviour and clicking the plus signs on any of the red boxes will freeze boxes 4 and 6 (thus preventing the class from receiving their reward); this MUST be a temporary measure to encourage positive behaviour from those who have not met expectations yet. Use any of the red minus buttons to remove the ‘Frozen’ icons. By encouraging collective responsibility from the class, it places the responsibility for good behaviour on all children. Publicly celebrating good behaviour and using individual children’s behaviour to dictate the outcome has frequently encouraged results. For this to to work fully, it is vital that you demonstrate that you are more interested in rewarding the positive!

Begin by loading in the names of your pupils into the ‘Class List & Data’ tab, type in your criteria and begin marking. What the ‘Feedback Hub’ does is it reads the scores you load into the ‘Class List & Data’ table and, at the touch of a button, presents you with a score breakdown, a WWW and an EBI target, all in a clearly presented printable criteria for you to return with the child’s work. All names and scores are loaded from a drop-down menu in the pupil name selector. NO NEED TO WRITE ANY COMMENTS YOURSELF!

The Behaviour Matrix is a simple yet effective way to manage behaviour in your classroom. Simply enter each pupil’s name into the designated spaces for your class and display the PowerPoint on your Interactive Whiteboard. Once you do, an epic title screen will appear, accompanied by a cinematic sound effect, signalling to the class that the ‘Matrix’ is now active. The behaviour screen will automatically appear (no need to advance the PowerPoint manually). You can update a pupil’s status at any time by pressing the button to the right for rewards or to the left for sanctions. Pupils can move in both directions during a single lesson which has been shown to promote individual responsibility. With sanctions and rewards clearly labelled across the top of the screen, pupils will easily see their current status; note that the labels are editable and can be customised to align with your school’s behaviour system. Every time a sanction or reward is given, a corresponding cinematic sound effect will play. This means that during independent tasks, pupils will be alerted by sound if they are being rewarded for their work or sanctioned for poor behaviour. Additionally, with a clickable traffic light system at the bottom of the screen, you can indicate whether pupils are allowed to talk or not. Clicking the amber button in the centre will initiate an epic 3-second countdown, signalling that conversations must stop within that time. Use the status buttons effectively once the lights turn ‘red’ and the corresponding sound effect plays to reinforce expectations. To allow talking again, simply click the ‘green’ light to deactivate the red light, play the ‘green’ sound effect and illuminate the green light. There are 38 pupils spaces in the template provided. Simply delete any superfluous names and status boxes for your classes. Tip: Save a different matrix for each class and pin the PowerPoints on your ‘open menu’ to enable swift access for each class you teach. This system really works and is highly regarded by pupils in my own classes!
