Ever wonder what your student is talking about when they say: "Wow, I received four squad points today!"


What are Squads?
     -Each class is divided into FOUR squads (also known as groups or clusters) and each one is assigned a color
     -Students are RANDOMLY assigned to the four squad groups
     -Squads are usually assigned the second week of school and are permanent 


HOW do students receive them?
    -Points (chips) are physically given to students when they perform some form of expected behavior
     -Examples:
          -Sitting as a "whole body listener"
          -Showcasing the Broadmeadow rules
          -Showcasing the "Golden" rules
          -Answering questions correctly and accurately
          -Demonstrating desired concepts and skills
          -Demonstrating perseverance, teamwork, and determination
     -Once students receive a chip, they place it in their squad's colored cup
     -Squad leaders (change every month) count all squad points at end of day and report to teacher
     -At end of the month, SUPER SQUAD is announced
     -Super squad privileges: line up first in line, first to get equipment, and more
