17. Example: how to incorporate hero into your lessons
On Time
How will I know when to use Hero for On Time points?
EXAMPLE: The Hero champion does shout out over the PA for random periods of each day. “Hey teachers, give Hero points to all students who are in their seats & ready to go!”
On Task
When do I recognize students for being on-task?
EXAMPLE: Students are broken out into small groups within their classroom. The teacher appreciates how they are quietly working on their projects. The teacher opens Hero on the SMART Board and awards Hero points to on-task students.
Participation
When should I give out Hero points?
EXAMPLE: The teacher is reviewing a reading assignment with the class. In the process of asking the class questions regarding what they read, Hero is on the SMART Board and the teacher awards Hero points to the students who answer the questions.
