Want a Positive Management System? Try a Token Economy

Journal Contribution - Journal Article

Teachers who want an effective and well-used motivating strategy to increase appropriate behaviors, academic skills and having fun in class might consider using a token economy. Token economies are strategies in which students earn reinforcers for learning and demonstrating appropriate behaviors while at the same time decreasing inappropriate behaviors. Our goal in writing this article is to (a) discuss a situation in which a token economy can be used by physical education teachers, (b) describe the procedure for implementing a token economy, and (c) address some frequently asked questions on the use of token economies in educational settings.
