Research shows that extrinsic motivation is most effective when unpredictable and used rarely, i.e. a "surprise." Also, the effect fades the older the student gets, so I am not at all certain this idea would be effective with high school kids. I have experienced a few tough groups in middle school, when I found that I needed a morale boost and so did the students. The few times I have needed to use this reward system, it was phased out within a month or so. To answer your question about prizes, I have a few ideas listed at the bottom of the article. How do you motivate your students? <br />AnnaMrs. Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218390811321064256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161264728231129694.post-91612817137840888692015-01-21T13:20:00.190-06:002015-01-21T13:20:00.190-06:00Interesting...what prizes do you give?
