Description

PAX Good Behavior Game is a branded classroom behavior-management programme run by PAXIS Institute that uses team-based behavior monitoring, rewards, teacher training, manuals, timers, and parent materials.

Components

• PAX Good Behavior Game program package (team-based behavior management with training, manuals, timers, and parent materials): PAX Good Behavior Game is a commercial version of the long-standing Good Behavior Game, described as "a commercial version that is very widely used in the U.S. and elsewhere". Students are divided into teams; teachers monitor behavior and teams violating agreed class rules receive checkmarks, with the team receiving the fewest checkmarks earning a small privilege. The package includes onsite training by experienced therapists, plus manuals, timers, and auxiliary materials, and parents receive manuals to use similar methods at home.
