Break Tickets

Official title: Class Pass

Promoting self-management with break tickets

Goal

Improve self-management and prevent challenging behaviors.

How

First, determine about how many times per day the learner engages in work avoidance. Add one or two to this and that’s how many break tickets you’ll give them! Learners can decide when to exchange these tickets for a break, fostering self-awareness and self regulation. Unused break tickets at the end of the day can be traded for free time or a reward, motivating engagement throughout the day. You can lessen the amount of tickets given over time.

Context

This strategy is beneficial for individual learners, as the number of breaks learners may need varies. Given that learners must manage their tickets and exercise self-awareness, it may be more advantageous for olderlearners.

Tip

It is recommended that the teacher still include scheduled breaks for all learners within their classroom schedule.
