My Project

Incentives for students motivate them to be more productive because they create a feeling of pride and achievement. Being successful makes you happy. Every success story helps students become more self-confident. They are proud and also encouraged to achieve another successful result.

Classroom reward systems can be an important part of classroom management, increasing work ethic and helping students develop self-management skills.

Since our students struggle, we love to celebrate every chance we get. I gave my students a survey asking what prizes they would like to earn. I am requesting a variety of incentives that they are interested in, such as legos, nail kits, lip gloss, and other items to empower my students to want to achieve greatness and feel successful.
