Class Dojo
-
Class Dojo is a behavior management system. At Bethesda:
- Studens earn positive points for positive behavior
- Points are never "taken away"
- Students receive "0" point Dojos for misbehavior
- Pie graph displays only show positive and will always show 100%
- Parents can view student misbehaviors as teacher comments.
