Lesson Plan
Positive Reinforcement Plan
Enable a 7th grader to select interest-based rewards, link them to clear behaviors, practice through a reinforcement game, and set up a simple tracking routine in one focused 25-minute session.
Tailoring positive reinforcement to a student’s interests increases motivation, reduces unwanted behaviors, and builds self-monitoring skills—key for lasting behavior change.
