Prizes for Positive Social and Academic Behavior in Class

Help me give my students rewards for positive behavior socially and academically through my raffle ticket system. High school students thrive on positive reinforcement. Students love receiving school supplies, stickers, and candy.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Positive reinforcement is a key aspect of my success in the classroom. My raffle system incentivizes positive student behavior and engagement, like coming to class and being on time, participating, answering questions, and asking questions. It is a wonderful way to let all students know I see them, I see how hard they are working, I know they are choosing this behavior and that's not always easy, and appreciate them.

In my 15 years of experience, weekly raffles have been the most successful way of creating a positive classroom environment.

Money from this fundraiser would go towards raffle prizes; your help in creating this environment is greatly appreciated.
