Halloween is almost here, and student behavior is getting spooky. 👻 The good news: your work in LiveSchool can help curb this rise. The secret? motivating teachers to use LiveSchool consistently and frequently.

One of our favorite strategies to achieve this is setting point goals for staff, which is basically a quota for how many points you want each teacher to give per week. This works because it gives your teachers clear guidelines with an easy objective to work toward.

So how can you see how many points each teacher is giving? Well, there’s a report for that. Make it fun by giving regular shout-outs in your school newsletters, assemblies, or social media for the top-awarding teachers. Their students and parents will love to celebrate with them!

Set Up Your Data Review ⏰

Meet with our team to review your site data so far this year. You’ll discover which teachers are giving points, where usage is increasing across your site, what behaviors and rewards are trending, and opportunities to engage students and parents in this work.

It’s a 30-minute call that you’ll leave with actionable next steps and data to measure school culture.
