MOTIVATING KIDS TAKES SOME R&R Most parents cheer for their kids at
soccer and baseball games. How many parents cheer them on at
homework time?
Rest and relaxation? No. Role-modeling and rewards! Students need to see what
success looks like. They need to be rewarded for learning and for establishing good
learning habits. Parents and teachers are the primary role models for
young children. By becoming learners themselves, parents can give their kids an
example to follow. |
Rewards can be given in
the classroom and at home. Offer rewards IMMEDIATELY after the completion of: an assignment a book, or a chapter a study session Money usually works the best, as long as it is their only source of
income. Once the social rewards of learning are realized, monetary rewards will no
longer be necessary. To learn more about establishing a reward system, please visit our “Winning Systems” web site: www.acceleratedschools.org/winning --------------------------------------------
