Reap the Rewards

Positive feedback and rewards can be powerful ways to reinforce desirable behavior, but coming up with appropriate rewards that feel new and enticing can be a challenge! To help you keep a few surprises up your sleeve, this week’s FREE tool is a table filled with acceptable reinforcers or rewards for students in both elementary and secondary school. With motivators like time to talk with friends and no-homework passes, you’ll keep your students energized and on track! The table comes from “When Behavior Makes Learning Hard,” a brief and accessible workbook for teachers who want to change student behavior through positive instruction.
