Let's
hear from one excited educator:
Just
a few things I have gained from using the POINTS Method™
as a high school science teacher:
-
POINTS can be used from the time your students enter your
class until they leave.
-
POINTS
can effect what children do in their spare time away from
school.
-
Students
can earn POINTS for doing extra things at home to better themselves.
-
Punctuality
problems are a thing of the past. Students literally run to
my class so they can receive POINTS for being on time.
-
When
the bell rings at the end of class, students are asking to
continue class because they are in competition for CLASS PARTICIPATION
POINTS.
-
Students
who look for attention for acting up realize they can gain
attention as well for showing proper behavior and they want
to be acknowledged with POINTS.
-
Points
requires extra energy from the teacher, but class participation
has increased 800%.
-
Students are learning to be responsible with the POINTS because
points can be cashed in for fun activities.
-
POINTS
gives the teacher leverage and makes the student have a better
attitude about the consequences of their behavior and academics.
-
Students
will even try to set contracts to do better for themselves
if they can be rewarded with POINTS.
-
I have been using POINTS this school year and I enjoy it.
The students have a new attitude and so do I. Last week students
with multiple POINTS were treatedto a pizza party, now everyone
is trying to stay on point!

"The
Points Method™ helps us meet the state requirement for
a rewards system. and it provides the children with a vivid
role for what the expectations are, and it teaches real world
concepts that children can carry into life long after they leave
the home. It also creates a balance on how to discipline the
children”.
Ms.
Kennesha Bracely, MA,
Founder of Tranquility Village Girls Home
“The
current program is a flop. Parentpoints is a great candidate
for the grant that is up for renewal. I have attended many conferences
and feels that Parentpoints provides the answer to what everybody
is looking for. The Points Method™ is a right now system
that fits our criteria. I see it as a viable solution for use
throughout our state.”

"With the support of Parentpoints, We plans to make a long
and lasting impact on the children, parents and families".
