It seems that you are excited by the marble jar (for more than just appreciation spotlighting, I mean), but fear that POPS is just a reward program.... but I can't see the difference between the two. ???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807526276766884560.post-47039755778293807792012-10-16T09:14:35.281-04:002012-10-16T09:14:35.281-04:00you bought a house?! that seems blog-worthy. i'...you bought a house?! that seems blog-worthy. i'd love to see more pictures. congrats!sherry carpethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477188663699603618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807526276766884560.post-17529585351653842632012-10-11T08:03:01.718-04:002012-10-11T08:03:01.718-04:00hard to believe it's been that long! too long ...hard to believe it's been that long! too long in fact.

I suspect it will be harder for other parents who still use Rewards, be it POPS or PAWS or BEES to try and manipulate kids into being "GOOD". It's moms like you that will help keep the integrity of the program encourage other parents to walk away from the limited benefits of rewarding kids.<br /><br />The other thing I personally love about the Marble Jar is that it will help PARENTS rise to the occasion and parent from THEIR best. We are always talking about what the kids could do better and in my experience, I have just as much learning and growing to do as my kids do. <br /><br />So create a Marble Jar for yourself as well and watch what happens when you put yourself into the game. <br /><br />Love to all.

Poof. <br /><br />Let me just offer you the gist of it. POPS is our school's implementation of a well researched and successful behavior model, it's not a 1 year theme. And I'm a fan, and from what I've seen, it fits well with the personal responsibility you work on with your family. PBIS is in place at VUMS/HS as well, encouraging a pattern of consistent expected behavior from K-graduation. Teachers and staff, not just students are recognized for P.O.P.S. behavior (and I think it's at least as hard if not harder for some teachers than many students.)<br /><br />You can read more here pbis.orgDorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10636304743397199784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807526276766884560.post-83671896434980515262011-02-28T21:54:04.808-05:002011-02-28T21:54:04.808-05:00Wonderful!!

I came home, sat down, went to work, wouldn't let her hang out in the office--and then, because I had to pick another kid upheld an appt, offered to take her, and she went. <br /><br />Homeschooling, I think, doesn't enter into it. I am nowhere near as good at staying uninvolved at flock mother, though!KJ Dellantoniahttp://Raisingdevils.comnoreply@blogger.com
