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!) My CT provides students with healthy snacks if they are hungry through out the day but not as incentives. She has a dry erase paper on every students desk and they get points for doing certain things like going to the restroom without getting out of control or having a good lunch. Students also earn extra points for getting good grades and other activities. At the end of the day the students who have a certain amount of points can pick any prize from the bag. Sometimes students can get 2 or 3 prizes in one day. These prizes are pencils, toys, books, just a bunch of random things from dollar tree. The students love it. |
