Positive behavior recognition students see every day
Positive behavior programs depend on clear expectations and frequent recognition. Hallway screens can teach the week’s focus, celebrate the classes and students who show it and track progress toward a schoolwide reward.

Why it matters
Expectations get posted once and forgotten
A PBIS matrix goes up in every classroom in August and blends into the wall by October. Recognition happens in one room at a time. Students don’t see that the whole school shares the same expectations.
Ideas for Positive Behavior Recognition
This week’s expectation
Show one expectation, like respect in the hallway, with what it looks like in practice.
Class shoutouts
Recognize the class with the most positive notes this week, or one that improved.
Schoolwide reward progress
Show how close the school is to the next reward, like an extra recess or a movie afternoon.
Student-made examples
Ask students to model an expectation in a short video or photo.
Staff who notice the good
Thank staff who hand out the most positive notes. It encourages others to join in.
Reward store reminders
Tell students when the reward store is open or when the celebration happens.
How it works with Digital Signage
Positive Behavior Recognition, step by step.
Three steps
Plan a weekly focus
Line up a slide for each week’s expectation, built in Google Slides or Rocket Graphics, and give each one its week.
Keep the tracker in a linked deck
Put the reward tracker in a Google Slides deck linked to the screen. Change the number and it updates when the screen refreshes, about every 20 minutes.
Match screens to spaces
Show cafeteria expectations on the cafeteria screen and hallway expectations in the hallway, since each screen has its own timeline.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Positive Behavior Recognition tips
Recognize groups more than individuals
Class and grade shoutouts include more students and avoid singling anyone out.
Show examples, not rules
A photo of students lining up well teaches more than a list of don’ts.
Keep the language positive
Say what to do, not what to avoid. Walk on the right reads better than no running.
Coordinate with your PBIS team
Have the team approve the weekly focus so screens match what teachers are teaching.

Questions
Positive Behavior Recognition questions
Screens can repeat the week’s expectation, recognize classes and students and show progress toward a schoolwide reward. That repetition keeps expectations visible after the first weeks of school.
You can schedule a weekly expectation slide, keep the reward tracker in a linked Google Slides deck and give each space its own timeline. The right message stays in the right place without daily edits.
It can work well with family permission and your school’s policies in mind. Group shoutouts by class or grade are an easy way to include more students.
Start with one high-traffic screen and next month’s expectations. Your PBIS coach and the person who runs the screens can sit in on one demo, where we review compatibility and put together a quote.
