◎ To promote children’s and students’ proactive participation in activities ○ To develop their self-confidence, nurture positive feelings, and help them achieve their objectives. ◎ To encourage children and students to establish warm relationships with, and say kind words to, others (cheerfulness, support, praise, and encouragement) ○ To mutually acknowledge the other person’s good points and foster the ability to participate in activities through cooperation and by working together |
| Considerations for disability characteristics |
1) Good points: Points stickers are given to children and students when they participate proactively in an activity. 2) Green points: Points stickers are given to children and students when they establish warm relationships with, or say kind words to, others. 3) Stickers are given to children and students as points, and these stickers are collected on sticker sheets. |
| Expected effects and results |
1) Through repeated experience of being accepted by others, the children and students will be able to think positively about themselves and will be able to develop a positive attitude towards achieving their objectives. 2) Children and students will learn how to relate to others and will become able to take actions toward their friends, such as cheering them up, offering support, giving praise, and giving encouragement. |
| How to use |
1) Create good points (green points) cards at the level of a department or grade so that all teachers in the same department or grade can have the same types of card. Cards the size of a business card are created and laminated. 2) Create a poster introducing the good points and green points system and post it up in the classroom. 3) Make creative sticker sheets so that the children and students can see and keep the points stickers they have collected. 4) When a certain number of points have been collected, award the student a good points (green points) certificate. 5) Teachers in each department or grade can use this as a common system to assess the children and students in that department or grade. |
