 ✤ Overview 

My Desk Responsibility Guide is a learner‑centred, classroom‑ready visual support designed to help learners follow essential responsibility behaviours at their desk. Thoughtfully created for real school environments, it provides clear, gentle, and predictable expectations that help learners stay regulated, focused, and ready to learn. The guide measures 6 × 9 cm, making it easy to place on the learner’s desk for consistent daily use.

 ✤ How This Visual Support Helps the Learner 

My Desk Responsibility Guide minimizes the need for repeated verbal prompting, thereby reducing cognitive load and preventing emotional overwhelm, while offering the learner clear, concrete expectations that strengthen independence.

When placed on the learner’s desk, it becomes a steady visual anchor that reminds them what to do, how to act, and how to engage respectfully with peers and adults. These gentle cues help the learner stay regulated, build confidence, and participate calmly and respectfully in shared learning spaces.

 ✤ Daily Reinforcement System 

A simple daily reinforcement system is included. Learners may earn check marks throughout the day as they demonstrate responsible choices. This small, predictable reinforcement helps build positive routines, strengthens motivation, and encourages effort.

 ✤ How to Use 

For ongoing use, please laminate My Desk Responsibility Guide or place it in a sheet protector. To maximize motivation and the effectiveness of the reinforcement system, decide what the learner is working for (reward) and write it down before they begin collecting check marks.

Ensure that the learner receives a check mark immediately after showing the desired behaviour—or any attempt or effort toward the behaviour—and receives the reward as soon as all check marks are earned. This helps the learner meaningfully understand that responsible behaviour leads directly to earning check marks and receiving the reward.
