Alicia's Peer Recognition

Alicia has a brag board in her classroom that features peer recognition for the moral focus virtue. Read Alicia's explanation below to see how she implements it in her class.

"I use this form for students to recognize their peers when they are caught doing something extraordinary as it relates to the moral focus virtue of the month. Students must write a full detailed sentence explaining how and why their peer deserves to be recognized. I then take all of the peer recognition forms for the month and draw out 2-3 students to be the students of the month and to be recognized at the awards assembly. If you are recognizing a student, you must fill out the sheet and place it on my desk for approval. If I approve it, the students filling out the form receives one piece of candy. Students who receive the student of the month award receive the peer form, a certificate, and a homework pass. Honoring both the giver and the recipient helps students to continue to look for and act extraordinarily."
