Help me give my students incentives to help them achieve their goals in learning! We LOVE to have popcorn while practicing our math skills, and create with Legos and beads once our learning goals have been achieved.
My room is covered in motivational quotes about overcoming and not giving up. Every day I make connections that will boost their confidence not only in math but in life.
I teach Middle School Tier 3 intervention classes for struggling learners in Alaska.
Many of my students suffer hardships at home and in life. What amazes me is that with a little love, food and attention, how resilient they can be. Their attitudes and smiles are contagious. My goal is to provide a safe and secure learning environment where its OK to make mistakes because I am not only teaching science, I am also teaching LIFE skills.
My Project
My students come to me needing something in their life. Maybe they need love. Maybe they need encouragement. Maybe they need some self esteem. Maybe they just need food. Incentives help my students learn- from games, to popcorn, to a little treat or toy to reward a good day.
In my classroom we use incentives to not only reward effort but to let the kids have time to interact with one another in meaningful ways.
They learn how to play games and work with others in a safe environment. Here they can learn those employment skills, such as proper interaction, in a safe way that allows them to fail and try again.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
