I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for other automatics bonuses? I already do that everyone is in their seat on time and everyone has all required materials. I also give hurry up bonuses for passing in papers and get chairs back in order quickly. However, I find it hard to check to see if everyone has all required materials for class, because I teach high school. I seems elementary for everyone to hold up pencil, book, paper, calculator. Also it would take too much time to walk around and check to see if everyone has all those item. Any suggestions is appreciated.

Hi Tiffany,
I teach middle school and you are correct that it's a bit different. I use all the things you list... my most consistent one is the "ready to go" at the beginning of the class. They can get that one every day.
I do also give bonuses if EVERY kid has their HW or a signed paper back the next day. I also run statistics (mode, median, and mean) for each big test. I teach four classes and announce these through the day and post them on the board as the day goes. The class with the highest mean score on the test gets a 2 minute bonus. I also have told them that any class that ends up with an A mean score on a test will get 3 bonus minutes (rare but a great accomplishment!). Then each class "competes" with the others to get the most bonus time each week (we do PAT on Fridays) gets a gift of 12 minutes the next week instead of 10 minutes.
That's all I can think of that is a regular bonus. I give random bonuses when the class does something that really pleases me (very quiet walking back from cafeteria at lunch, gets a compliment from another staff member, etc.)
