Rewards
1. The tremendous motivation of success
2. Public reward plays its part, when it does not mean invidious distinctions and helpless envy. Gold and silver stars can work better than ‘elephant stamps’ to make a student’s best work glow in the student’s own eyes.
Term Progress certificates for everyone who has made progress, with gold stars for remarkable progress.
Annual Progress prizes for everyone in something that they have made progress in. No-one to miss out. In my children’s school there were Progress Prizes –for swimming. Recommended prizes – books the children can choose themselves, plus certificates.
