Motivating Students with Whole Group Rewards

FREE WAYS TO SAY "GREAT JOB!"

• Whole Group Rewards - Let individual students earn points towards a whole class reward. This works especially well for students who crave attention because they will earn positive attention from the whole class for their good behavior. For example, the student can earn a table point for their table group, or a few marbles for the class marble jar. This helps difficult students feel like a real part of the group and it provides for a little positive peer pressure to keep them performing well.
