Get Started With ABBIT
Getting Started
Getting started with ABBIT has never been easier. Here are some ways to get started.
Coordinator/Helpers
You will need someone to help oversee and to be generally in charge of your ABBIT program. This could be done by whomever such as a current school committee that would be willing to organize the ABBIT program at your school.
Honor System
Honor Roll
ABBIT was founded on the idea of rewarding students for Academic Achievement. This would be for students who have demonstrated achievement by:
All A Honor Roll
A and B Honor Roll
Student Awards
We truly want all students to be ABBIT students, even if they have not made the honor roll just yet or if they show achievement in other areas. Whether those students show some sort of academic growth, good attendance, or good conduct, they definitely should be encouraged to keep up the fine work.
When to reward Students
You want to consider how often to reward your ABBIT students. The easiest way to do this is by rewarding them at the end of each grading period. Such as at the end of a 6-week or 9-week grading period. Some schools like to reward students at progress report time and at the end of the grading period. If you award for behavior, conduct, or a character trait, this may could be done weekly or monthly. The choice is open to you.
Student Rewards
We all love to be rewarded for our accomplishments. ABBIT has student rewards that they will enjoy receiving. We recommend trying different items to see what your students most like receiving or trying a different item at the end of each grading period. But, our cornerstone best-selling item is the ABBIT Member Card. This is the best item to start with as it identifies the student as being an ABBIT member. If you have local community business support, this makes ABBIT cards even better.
Sponsor/Community Supporters
ABBIT works even better when you partner with sponsors within your community. Getting local community support to honor students when they show their membership cards will be a guaranteed incentive for students.
