Whole School visual/bulleton board reflecting Success Rates

by Okie Media Specialist

Oct 3, 2011

I am looking for ideas of how to create a visual (a Hall of Fame) for classes/teachers to compete with success rates. i.e. 85% correct or better for the year. My principal suggested using the little man (found on the dashboard) that reflects how much of him is covered up (%'s) as in if a class has 50% of the class earning 85% or better the little man would be 50% covered in green. She suggested placing the man on tag board then laminating. Each week (on Monday) coloring the little man to match/reflect the % using a green Vis-A-Vis marker but that will take a ton of time. Does anyone have any other ideas that might not be so time consuming? Any help is much appreciated!
