Case: Incentives in the classroom: treats
When I was in elementary school, a lot of my teachers would pass out candy for participating in certain classroom activities. Answering questions correctly, or jeopardy games, or get an A on a test for instance. I remember my classmates and I were always very enticed by these types of incentives, is this system allowed and praised, or is it frowned upon? What are some alternative approaches besides verbally incentivizing students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think it really depends on how you administration feels. There's a difference between giving students candy and maybe some goldfish. Positive reinforcements are great, but you have see how your admin feels and what your students are interested in. Maybe start a point system for the students and after a certain number of points, they get a bigger incentive. |
