The Green Team Exercise: Empowering Students

At the heart of Lead ‘Em Up Classroom lies the Green Team exercise—an innovative exercise that empowers students to collaboratively set and uphold behavioral expectations. Through this process, students forge stronger connections with one another. Students also develop a heightened sense of accountability and responsibility. As a result, behavior referrals decline, while student engagement and positive behavior soar to new heights.

Conventional approaches to behavior management often emphasize what students should avoid doing. This approach can reinforce negative behaviors. But, Lead ‘Em Up challenges this paradigm by casting the vision of what a “Green” classroom should look like. It is a dynamic classroom space where students thrive: academically, socially, and emotionally.
