Reinforcing Behaviors in LiveSchool

A Guide to Doubling Point Values

Written by Laura Litton

If you've identified behaviors in LiveSchool that could use an extra boost, consider doubling their point values for a specified time period. This quick guide will show you how to implement this reinforcement strategy effectively:

  1. Identify Behaviors for Reinforcement: Determine which behaviors you want to reinforce during a specific time period. For instance, if timeliness and preparation are concerns in January, you may choose to double the points for these behaviors.
    ​

  2. Access Rubric Editing: As a site leader, go to the Points section and select "Edit Rubric." https://liveschoolapp.com/#/points/edit-rubric
    ​

  3. Adjust Point Values: Locate the behavior you want to reinforce and temporarily double its point value. For example, if it's normally worth 2 points, change it to 4 points for the designated time frame.
    ​

  4. Inform Your Teachers: Communicate the changes to your teaching staff. They will notice the adjusted point value when awarding points to students, creating awareness and emphasizing the importance of the targeted behavior.
    ​

  5. Facilitate Conversations: Take advantage of this reinforcement period to engage with students about the highlighted behavior. Similarly, communicate with your staff to ensure a collective effort in reinforcing the chosen behavior.
    ​

  6. Revert to Normal Values: Once the reinforcement period is complete, return to the rubric editing interface and reset the point value to its original setting. This change will apply universally to all teachers.
    ​

  7. Evaluate Impact: Assess the impact of the reinforcement strategy and gather feedback from teachers and students. This information can guide future adjustments to your LiveSchool approach.

By doubling point values for a limited time, you create a focused effort to reinforce specific behaviors. This strategy can be a powerful tool for promoting positive changes in your school community.
