ClassDojo is a behavior management tool for the classroom. Each student has a profile to which teachers can assign positive and negative points (or 'dojos') throughout the lesson. The website can be operated by a teacher from their computer or tablet, and each time they award a point an (optional) sound plays to alert the class.
I have been using Class Dojo for for three years and I absolutely adore it.
In my classroom, I try to use Dojo to focus on positive behaviors instead of the negative ones. For example if a student isn't listening to my instructions or isn't working on his activity , I try to award the students around him for finishing their task on time. To keep Dojo relevant to my students, I offer them passport to sit down next to their friends, option to wear colorful clothes to school, give them certificates while acknowledging in them in front of all his friends...etc.
I also have consequences for those who end up with more than five negative points in a month. These students have to sign the discipline log. Signing the discipline log multiple times leads to parental phones calls/conferences and eventually referrals to administration.
ClassDojo is another great tool to use in your classroom. It has helped me to recognize positive behaviors instead of always focusing on the negative ones.
This is the certificate that I used to give to my students. First One is a PDF file, note that I used the Arabic Magic font. you can download it from: https://www.dafont.com/arabic-magic.font
The second one is a Word file, where you can edit it to your preference.
