My Project

At our school students show more positive choices with a given reward incentive. Our students greatly enjoy receiving prizes or rewards for their behavior, but we are a title one school with limited resources to consistently provide prizes.

Offering them the ability to build with STEM magnetic blocks and to choose a reward is always a win win for everyone, and shows less write ups on our school.

Putting a smile on their faces with a small token of good work helps to keep them working towards being a better version of them self, as well as showing positive choices are rewarded where negative ones are not.

We have proven less days in ISS as well as OSS by providing students with positive rewards.
