Name the behavior, keep a 4-to-1 positive ratio, and catch the quiet kids too.
5. Rewards and Point Goals · ~3 min
Set up a reward store and class goals without it feeling like bribery. The best rewards are free.

How to handle tough moments quietly and fairly. Every redirect is a door back to a point.
7. See Your Impact · ~2 min
Your 60-second Friday check, and how families see the good news in the app.

Quick Reference: LiveSchool Shortcuts
A cheat sheet of the moves the videos show, so you can find them fast.
Give from anywhere: tap a student, pick the behavior, done. Works on your phone as you move around the room.
Select All: give the whole class a point in one move (great for "On Task" during independent work).
Comment bank: drop a specific note onto a point in one tap, instead of typing.
Random student selector: picks a student with a little suspense, and tracks who has already been called so everyone gets a turn.
Classroom timer: set it for transitions and pair it with points ("ready before the timer, the class earns a point").
Reports: your class at a glance: top behaviors, who is thriving, who has gone quiet.
