    logo_MATForceCottonwood AZ (August 4, 2015) – Fifty-four teachers and three principals recently received training on the ‘Good Behavior Game.’

    The Good Behavior Game program is a proven approach to managing classroom behaviors that rewards children for displaying appropriate, on-task behaviors. It is designed for kindergarten through fourth grade students.  MATFORCE and the Arizona Community Foundation helped sponsor the training, which was held in both Prescott and Cottonwood.

    20150804_Scarlett-PriestLori Deutsch, MATFORCE Grant Manager, said, “The Good Behavior Game teaches students how to self-regulate, how to work toward valued goals and how to cooperate with each other in order to reach those goals. It not only improves learning outcomes, but is also considered one of the most powerful prevention strategies that classroom teachers can use.”

    This is the second year that this training has been offered in Yavapai County.  Deutsch added, “We are excited about the success of this program.  Last year, forty-five educators were trained in the program.  The result was a 53% reduction in negative classroom behavior for the teachers who implemented the Good Behavior Game in their classrooms.”

    The Good Behavior Game is an evidence-based program.  More information on the program can be found at the GoodBehaviorGame.org.wesbsite.  If you have other questions, please contact MATFORCE at 928-708-0100 or by email to matforce@cableone.net.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
