Sometimes, we need a little bit of a boost to encourage us to reach our full potential. My students are bright, conscious learners and understand how important their education is.

When they saw the rewards store, immediately asked \"how can we earn those?!\" Needless to say, they worked very hard each day to get their tickets and \"trade them out\" at the end of the week for their favorite snack, depending on the points they accumulated throughout the week. This made a big difference not only in their class participation, but also in their academic achievement because they were more engaged in the daily activities and lessons, which in time it transferred to their academic performance.\r\n\r\nOur next steps as a class are to continue with the rewards system and share the results within my science department to implement across 8th grade science classes. \r\nWe thank you for your investment and dedication to our leaders of the future.","fullyFundedDate":1742929222905,"projectUrl":"project/nextgen-motivating-and-inspiring-the-nex/9145870/","projectTitle":"NextGen-Motivating and Inspiring the Next Generation of Leaders","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Castro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9429635"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46662","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":639,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":85,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":48.8,"schoolId":46662,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Carver Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Carver Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/orange-county-public-schools/carver-middle-school/46662"}
