  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 is still a great way to encourage positive behavior and performance in the classroom. Other ways could be "fake dollars" where student can buy themselves treats or prizes at the end of the week.
