Classroom+Economy+2017

**Presenter:** Steve Scheidt, Conestoga Valley School District Gamify your learning environment by creating a fantasy economy! Whatever subject(s) you teach, watch motivation soar among your learners as they take charge of their very own classroom economy. Whether you want to add a simple layer of "buy-in" behind what you already do, or you want to revamp your entire learning environment, this session is for you. Learn how to establish a classroom economy as simple or as complex as you like in order to affect virtually all aspects of the classroom, from behavior management to academic responsibilities and leadership. We will explore cash styles, classroom "jobs," how to build and use a classroom store system, rental systems, taxes, fines, bonuses, banking, investment desk "rentals," and more. A practical set of tools, available for FREE from The Vanguard Group, will be presented to get you up and running in no time. With experience implementing varying economy types in 3rd and 5th grade math and language arts classrooms, Steve will help you invest in your classroom economy at any level you desire.
