Managing Your Reward System
Sleuth tracks positive as well as negative behaviour. Importantly this enables a school to develop a positive approach to the whole school behaviour management strategy. Tracking the positive as well as the negative gives schools a balanced picture of student behaviour and using Sleuth staff can get an complete profile of the achievements of a student, a tutor group or a year group.
Rewards for success can either be linked to the number of positive incidents recorded in Sleuth or to the number of behaviour points that they have accumulated.
Each positive outcome in Sleuth, e.g. merit, postcard home, letter of commendation can have its own points score. This enables the school to set up a tariff which recognizes the significance of each positive behaviour and rewards students accordingly.
All staff in school can have access to Sleuth and their Sleuth Home Page can alert them of noteworthy positive behaviour according to their role.
