My Project

Prizes can potentially make a positive difference in student learning. This project is for classroom incentives for my students. When using positive behavior support and appropriate classroom management, research has shown a decrease in problems which increases academic time.

These incentives will provide rewards for the students who demonstrate positive behaviors throughout the entire school day.

The incentives will include bottle toppers, hair accessories, fidgets and more! Incentives will be awarded to the students weekly. These incentives are crucial because they serve as a reward and motivator for positive behavior for the students. The students get very excited about these incentives and are highly motivated to work for prize.
