Currency Board System

Posted onNovember 25, 2011 - 2:46 am by Admin | 0 Comments

The token economy system is a popular way to motivate students with disabilities in areas of struggle. For kids with autism and behavioral issues, token rewards have proven to be a valuable tool of motivation and achievement. Token economies can take many forms and can be as creative as a teacher or caregiver decides to make them. This classroom management strategy can also appeal to a child’s individuality.

A reward system based on earning tokens is set up by deciding how often rewards will be offered, and then creating a system of tokens and a way to display earnings. Token boards are a very important part of the token economy because when chosen properly, the token boards will effectively display a child’s earnings and motivate him or her to continue improving in whatever area that is being targeted.

Types of Token Boards – Punch Cards

One of the cheapest and easiest types of token boards is the simple punch card. Each child in an inclusion classroom or in a special education classroom will receive his own personalized punch card, and whenever they successfully accomplish a goal (which can be different for each child), a hole can be punched in the card. A teacher can decide how many holes are necessary to receive a reward.
