Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am a high school social studies teacher. It's the end of the year and students need a little more motivation to stay engaged. Praise only goes so far - a little incentive with a sweet reward helps students go further. The sweet treats are to reward students who are making progress towards their year end goals along with those still struggling but truly putting in their best effort. The students will be asked to complete a specific amount of time and lessons each class period and if they can commit with no distractions they'll receive the reward.

The candy rewards help keep the kids be motivated to put in their best effort.
