What is EAA PRIDE?

Staff CurrencyEach staff member designed his or her

own currency.

Students enjoyed the original currency and were excited to earn

currency from different staff members.

2010 PBIS KickoffThe 2010 PRIDE Kickoff included

songs, skits, trivia and lots of prizes.

Students received sweatshirts, t-shirts, and backpacks for answering PRIDE trivia questions.

Staff members performed

skits for our own “Whose PRIDE is it anyway?”

PRIDE exchange kickoff

•We opened up our PRIDE Exchange by allowing students to come to the store for a Blowout Sale.•While students waited to shop, they were given the opportunity to talk in small groups with PBIS core team members.

•The small groups provided students a chance to get more information about PRIDE.•The students also completed a survey to tell the staff what kind of incentives they would like to purchase and their opinions on the PRIDE program.

RANDOM rewards

Discipline data showed that a frequent problem

behavior over the course of the year was students

leaving campus without permission

In order to prevent students from leaving campus

without permission, rewards are randomly provided to

students

Students are not aware when the rewards will be

given

Rewards: hot chocolate, gum, and other snacks

Student Bank Accounts Each student has a bank account for his or her

currency.

Students can deposit currency into their

accounts during homeroom and dismissal using a

deposit slip.

Students keep their own account register to

monitor their balance. When items are purchased

the students are responsible to update their

registers.

Sample Account

PRIDE Exchange An online system was made to help students use

their currency to shop at the EAA “online store”

The system was created to keep students in class,

but still gives students access to the items in the store.

During designated shopping times, students visit the

“online store” and write down their order on an order

slip.

Items are then delivered to the student by a staff

member within 1 school day.

What are your thoughts on the PRIDE program?

It’s OK, I like the idea of being able

to save currency to buy stuff.

-Jeremy (HS)I think it’s a wonderful way

to show students how to deal with money and show rewards for good behavior.

-Esara (HS)

I think that the teachers go over EAA PRIDE Program a little too much, but sometimes it works.

-Tyler (HS)

I think it’s cool and fair because the

ones that are doing right deserve things

like rewards. -Ciara (HS)

I think it’s good. You get currency for showing
