Just like incentives are a great way to engage students and create excitement for your PBIS program, incentives for teachers are a great way to encourage buy-in from your staff and nurture the fidelity of your PBIS program. Everyone loves to be recognized for the good things that they do, and your staff is no exception. Our list of Teacher Incentives is designed to give your staff the feel-good boost they need, while keeping your budget in check.
Incentives are categorized by:
- Price: our estimate of your school’s cost
- Category: Recognition, Privilege, and Tangible
- Value: one trophy represents an incentive that can be easily earned in one to two weeks; two trophies, a grading period; three trophies, half the school year or more
To view additional information and a long description of each PBIS Incentive, just click the next to the Reward title. What better way to recognize the great things your staff is doing than by rewarding them, just like you do your students?
