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!)
Like other posters have said it is frowned upon today. Which is sad. I remember getting the candy and loved it. I know all the students tried to answer as many questions as possible to get candy. It definitely got everyone participating. But due to health reasons teachers can not do this anymore. Instead try to offer other rewards like the teachers chair, lunch with the teacher, or line leader. Something students enjoy. But do not over do this reward system either. It needs to be for good causes. You want to reward students but not for every single thing they do. That was the issue with candy. Students only did it when candy was involved. Try offering these new rewards on the down low so students do not expect it. This will hopefully encourage students to try and answer questions in hopes they are the lucky winner. |

| Comments: Yes, we don't want to "over reward" our students either. They need to WANT to work for their reward and not just because they get a "treat" at the end. |
