Earning Points With LiveSchool


LiveSchool is a behavior management system that teachers throughout the school can use in order to monitor how students are acting throughout the day. This system is very similar to ClassDojo only it comes with more capabilities. If there are only 1 to 5 people in a school using LiveSchool then the price is free. The more people in the school who utilize the system, the higher the price is to purchase it. This provides schools with an opportunity to purchase this system for their staff.


Students are added into LiveSchool by their teacher and when they are they receive an individual profile. Teachers throughout the school can bring up a class list featuring all students in the room. Next to the students name is two bubbles. One bubble is green and that represents how many positive points the student has earned. The red bubble shows how many negative points the student has. When giving or taking away points there are a variety of options to choose from so parents and other teacher can see exactly what the student did well or needs to work on. Teachers can also leave comments when they're giving or taking away points. These comments can be seen from anyone who has access to the students account.


Parents can even get involved with LiveSchool by downloading the parent app. By downloading the app they will be kept up to date with their students behavior while at school. Students also have their own app that they can download. When students look at their app they are able to see how they're doing, the number or points they have, any comments teachers have left, as well as check to see if any changes have been made to the rewards they can earn.


Paychecks are a cool feature of LiveSchool. Students receive a paycheck that shows how much
"money" they have earned. The amount of money they have in their paycheck correlates directly to the number of points they have. The paychecks are printed out and students can use them to make purchases from a variety of prizes the teacher has decided on or they can choose to save them.


LiveSchool is an awesome behavior management system that allows teachers, parents, and students to monitor behavior while at school. Data can easily be collected using this system and presented to administrators or parents whenever necessary. Engagement is a huge factor when it comes to positive behavior management and students will love working towards earning a big paycheck, so they can spend it on something they really want.
