My Project
This special education reward system is designed to motivate students by rewarding positive behaviors such as good conduct, high-quality work, and respectful interactions with teachers and peers. Students earn money for demonstrating these behaviors, which they can use each month at Mrs. French's Reward Store. This approach encourages responsibility, self-control, and a sense of accomplishment, helping students understand the value of their efforts. By providing tangible rewards, the system aims to create a positive reinforcement cycle that enhances classroom engagement and overall behavior.
Sensory toys available in the reward store play a vital role in supporting students' learning and emotional regulation, such as managing stress, improving focus, and developing self-awareness, which are essential for learning success.
The project’s goals include fostering independence, building confidence, and establishing a respectful, supportive classroom environment. Ultimately, this reward system aims to motivate students to learn, grow socially, and develop lifelong skills in a fun, encouraging setting.
More than half of students from low‑income households
