Gamification!

How does it work?

• XP represents the total points that you have earned. Your XP will never go down. Every 100 XP earned bumps you up to the next level. 

• Spendable Points - You will earn one Spendable Point for every XP that you earn. Your Spendable Points will go down if you choose to spend them on the items listed below, or if they are removed because of tardies, not being prepared for class, off-task behavior, or missing assignments. 

• Level - You will level up every time you earn 100 XP. The higher your level, the more likely you are to earn special privileges (for example, I may choose to dismiss students who are at level 2 or 3 early from class). 

• If you would like to spend your points: Make sure that you choose an appropriate time to talk to Mrs. Shulman (like before or after class). If you chose to ask at an inappropriate time (such as during instruction), your request will not be granted.
