The purpose of the marble practice is to aid a teacher in attaining good classroom management in a fun way. This exercise provides students with a visual goal that allows them to work together for a reward. Each week students will get a fresh start on trying to achieve their reward set by the teacher.
At the beginning of the week the teacher will display an empty jar at the front of the classroom. If students display positive behaviour they will receive marbles which allows students to track and have a visual representation of their behaviour. If the jar is full by Friday, they are rewarded. If the students present poor behaviour the marbles can be taken away. It is important to display or review how each student can earn marbles.

It is a great way for students to feel accountable and work towards something as a group.
Reward Examples: free time, a movie, or games.
