Complete action steps 8 - 11 using the action plan template.

Assessment:

Next, write letter to parents informing them of your classroom economy system. It should basically be a visual summary of your action plan providing reader with the most important information on what your token economy is and how it works.

You will be evaluated on your ability to convey the message about your token economy clearly and effectively. You will be evaluated for your understanding of the use and structure of the token economy system and your thought process on your own action plan including the timeline for implementation and resources you identified.

Reflection Journal:

In an 800 word summary, reflect on the implementation of your token economy system. Discuss your successes and challenges after a two to three week’s time. Also include any modifications you made to your system.
