Positive Contact Challenge

Here's a simple way to encourage your staff to make positive contact with their students' families!  Hold a month-long challenge, and reward them!

Here is what we did:

• Determine a reasonable and achievable goal for your staff.
• Determine a reward that your staff will enjoy.
• Inform everyone of the goal, and what you are looking for.  I encouraged specific positive praise through a variety of means:  phone calls, postcards, text messages, emails, and even home visits!
• Create a "Big Board" for everyone to record their contacts.
• Keep track during the month.
• Reward everyone when they meet your goal!
