Kash-In: The New Classroom Token Economy

Kash-In is a new mobile app that updates the old classroom token economies that use paper money, stickers, fake checkbooks, and/or point systems used for classroom management; a classroom management tactic into a digital version with a real world twist. Kash-In uses positive behavior intervention and support (PBIS) methods to help develop healthier behaviors in our students by monetizing different actions such as perfect attendance or incomplete homework and either deposits or withdraws “Kash” from the students account. Just like a real banking account, transactions are done in real time, with alerts. The app will build high expectations, a safer learning environment, cuts down on teacher prep, less cumbersome management, and teacher burnout. It helps with a fixed rewards/consequences system, consistent preventative practices, and drives student motivation and achievement while incorporating financial literacy.

*view bank statements
