Procedures for Using [insert ticket name] Tickets
[Insert ticket name, e.g., PAWS Pass] Tickets are another way of saying ‘Thank you’ for
making a good behavior choice. Whether a small behavior (e.g., holding the door) or a
big behavior (e.g., helping a friend who is being bullied) [Insert ticket name] Tickets can
help us reinforce the kinds of behaviors we want to see. Among the benefits of using the
[Insert ticket name] Tickets include:
1. We encourage students to continue engaging in positive behaviors.
2. We reinforce the benefit of making good choices, so that when a student faces a
‘tempting’ bad choice they have the history of positive interactions with staff to
firm up their resolve.
3. [Insert ticket name] Tickets can be very helpful to encourage students working on
a behavior improvement goal to keep trying.
4. Providing praise to students helps build the positive adult-student relationship.
The [Insert ticket name] Ticket system works best when we are all consistent. There
are some things that we all have to do to ensure we are being consistent and some
ways we can personalize the system.

Procedures for distributing [Insert ticket name] Tickets to students

you for holding the door”; “Turning in your homework on time was very responsible”;


[Insert ticket name] Tickets are distributed to students when you see them engage in
a positive [Insert ticket name] behavior (see the suggestion list for examples).
Always provide a behavior specific praise statement that tells the student exactly
why they are getting the ticket “Thank you for being prepared today.” or ”Thanks for
helping your classmate”, “That was a very respectful way of saying no to your
classmate”.
Use the tickets as a strategy to increase or reinforce a positive behavior you would
like to see in individual students or for class.
Staff are responsible to print and cut their own tickets as needed.
