About this resource

What's inside this resource

These social emotional classroom awards are not focused on achievement, rather focused on student growth with specific social emotional criteria. Each award is specific to utilizing positive social skills as well as emotional skills in the appropriate setting. Not only for social workers or counselors, these awards can be used in a classroom setting as well! With a total of 25 awards, each page has an award title and description of the award.

These awards are perfect for the end of the year, or when you notice that your students are excelling at their goals. These awards can also be given at the end of a group as well! A perfect way to instill positive reinforcement on positive behaviors and to show recognition to students for meeting their goals!

BONUS

I like to use these as I go throughout the school year as often I see both students I am working with, and Gen-Ed students that excel in using positive social skills. I have found that when I give these awards out, it tends to boost a student’s confidence and helps to encourage that specific behavior or skill to continue!

Ideas for Use;

⭐Given after a student completes a goal or objective

⭐Group Graduations

⭐Positive Reinforcement

⭐End of the school year

⭐Recognition awards for student throughout the year

In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

Keep a stack of the pre-printed certificates on hand throughout the year so an award can be given as soon as you notice a student demonstrating that specific skill, rather than saving them all for the end of the year.
Match the certificate to the specific behavior being reinforced: titles like Best Listener, Self-Control, and Respecting Others each target a distinct, narrow skill rather than general good behavior.
Because every certificate already has a blank 'presented to' line and a printed criteria statement, these are ready to print and hand out with only a student's name to fill in.

Skills covered

Positive behavior reinforcement — teachers select from 25 distinct social-emotional skill certificates (e.g., Empathy Expert, Self-Control, Leadership) to recognize a specific behavior as it happens.
Social-emotional skill identification — each certificate's criteria statement names one precise skill, letting a teacher match the award to the exact behavior a student demonstrated.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Do all 25 awards use the same certificate format?

Yes. Each one-page certificate follows the same layout: a title, a blank line for the student's name, and a short criteria statement ending in "Good Job!" or "Great Job!"
