Prize bins and Treasure chest!


      While walking around HMS I realized that a lot of teachers have various prize incentives for their students. Each one has different criteria for winning a prize.  Students learn that they will be rewarded for various tasks and goals achieve from effort given to homework, classwork, routines and daily chores. As the authors of Classroom Instruction that Works states "Reinforcing effort can help teach students one of the most valuable lessons they can learn- the harder you try, the more successful you are." (Marzano, 59).
