Brag tags have now evolved into class tags! Students complete choice boards to earn their badge. These academic badges extend and enrich all subject areas and are perfect for differentiation because they cater to all learning styles!
Check out my blog post about the new and exciting way to look at these “brag tags” by clicking here! It will help you understand exactly how these unique tags work!
Academic badges (or class tags) are like brag tags, but instead of being used for classroom management, they are used for academic purposes. And, much like Girl Scout or Boy Scout badges, students complete a series of choices related to the badge theme and the concept being taught in the classroom. Once the student completes the choices to the teacher’s satisfaction, the student has earned the tag.
