Chou Chou Teach vs PBIS Rewards

PBIS Rewards is a whole-school PBIS management system. Chou Chou Teach brings PBIS-aligned positive reinforcement to a single classroom, privacy-first.

PBIS Rewards is built for school-wide PBIS programs: an admin or PBIS team rolls it out across the building with a points store, raffles, events, referral tracking, Check-In/Check-Out, and house groups, and students get a portal to track and redeem points. Chou Chou Teach is for the individual teacher who wants the heart of PBIS, catching kids being good and rewarding it, without an administrator, a student portal, or much student data at all. Both are PBIS-aligned; they just operate at very different scales.
