TOKEN ECONOMY

What is a token economy.  This website, "Educate Autism" provides an excellent overview of a token economy and contains graphic organizers that detail the process of use.  This is an excellent resource for sharing the research behind this "research-based strategy."

TIME TO TUTOR ON . . .

Sometimes we assume that kids can figure out the resources we have provided and that they have the resources to assist them if they cannot do it alone.  This is not always the case.  Eagle Crest Academy provides time to tutor students on the actual use and functions of many of the resources teachers commonly use such as:

-  School Agenda

       Setting an alarm on cell phone as a reminder to CHECK agenda when arriving home

-  itsLearning

-  Quizlet

-  Criterion

-  Self-Monitoring Interventions for Behavior

- iPhone apps such as Flashcards+

- Locker Cleanout

- Binder Organization

BEST OF ALL -- Because this takes place during grade level planning, academic teachers are often available for quick access to answer questions, clarify, and tutor.

SHARING DOCS ON GOOGLE DRIVE & TINYURL.COM

To create and share documents on Google Drive, you must first create a Google Account.  I recommend using creating an email address that's similar to your school email address and ONLY utilizing this account for SCHOOL related work (not personal). For example.  My Google email is:  jjackson.schoolemail@gmail.com

Once you have created and account you can go to drive.google.com to upload and or create documents to share
