LOCATION AND DESIGN

• Brick building in Washington, D.C.
• 2-3 floors with long hallways
• Escalators

CLASSROOMS AND TEACHERS

• Huge classrooms with enough room for casual stretching in the back
• Big desks that fit books, notebooks, and iPads all at once
• Laid-back and qualified teachers

SUBJECTS AND EXTRACURRICULARS

• Core subjects and choice of any language
• Endless electives
• Every recognized sport
• Any activity appropriate for school

MASCOT AND PHILOSOPHY

• Elephant because it's the best animal
• College-prep
• Real- world prep
• Life skills

POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT

• Put stickers on all grades handed back with a 90 or above to
• Encourage students to get good grades because if you do bad
• you won't get a sticker and your friends will

NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT

• If kids are talking too much in group work about
• unrelated topics then add more individual work
• to stop the distraction

POSITIVE PUNISHMENT

• Detention if you break an important rule or break a
• lesser rule multiple times because it will decrease
• the likelihood of a person repeating the behavior

NEGATIVE PUNISHMENT

• Can't play sports or participate in extracurriculars if
• you are failing a class because it will ensure
• people are passing their classes

CLASSICAL CONDITIONING

• There would be no calling students out in front of the
• class that could result in the student being afraid of
• school or developing a hate for a certain subject

OPERANT CONDITIONING

• If students maintain an A average over the course
• of the year they don't have to take the final exam
• so it encourages them to do well in school

INTRINSIC VS EXTRINSIC

• My school would be intrinsically motivated because in real life you aren't
• going to get rewards for doing what you are supposed to do. The school
• would be made enjoyable so that kids want to go to school and do well
• for the sake of learning. Any rewards would just be something to remind
• kids of their hard work.
