One significant improvement is their punctuality. Students now make an extra effort to be on time to the class because they receive a bonus bankee for being punctual while those who are late incur a fine which has positively impacted their readiness and focus during lessons

The students are more engaged with Bankee than any other behaviour management. They hate losing bankoz and will do anything to earn them,

Learners react and interact with idea of having to work to get more. They interact and find ways to better themselves. Many of my learners who were once untidy and not willing to clean up after themselves have started to offer to clean the classroom.

I have noticed a great improvement in students behavior when we implemented Bankee. When students are rewarded Bankoz for good behavior, it reinforces those actions and behaviors, and motivates both them and other students to participate in similar positive behaviors.

Students are now more motivated to be responsible, respectful and kind. They have learned the meaning and the value of the money, how to save money, and how to spend wisely.

Endorsements

“Many schools express challenges with classroom behavior management. The reality is, usually there are not enough resources or specialists available to improve the existing issues. The Bankee program’s mission is to teach our youth about financial literacy, responsibility, and improve classroom behavior management. The program's behavioral implications were designed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst using evidence based Applied Behavior Analytic Principles to ensure its effectiveness. Our priority is to ensure that the program creates a safe environment in the classrooms and promotes fair opportunities for the students. The program instills the students with core values, provides realistic “real life” rewards and consequences, and most importantly gives the student the control and accountability of their own behaviors and learning. This pioneering project will not only enhance the youth's financial awareness, but also elevate the teacher-learner experience.”
