rewards
By csteach

Clip to ScrapBook   
The school I work at doesn't use extrinsic rewards. This was new for me when I arrived 4 years ago. But, I have been successful with very rowdy/social classes. Basically, I explain my expectations early on. For example,
it is just expected that students will enter the room quietly. I shouldn't have to give them tally points for doing so. Of course they need gentle reminders . I do give them individual compliment cards throughout the year for doing various things. We also have compliment circle on Fridays where they give a compliment to someone in the class.I also surprise them with baked cookies just
because and free time in the room just because.
If you do want rewards to give out how about bookmarks, coupons for no homework, lunch with you, gel pen, pencil...
Hope you have a good year!
