that's the best motivation...they caught the teacherbug!

Q3 Ok so we have motivated staff...now how do we motivate kids to meet their goals?

A3- Administrators, are meeting with all 3rd graders this week (K-3 school) to go over individual data with students
-
a1 Leaders Eat Last and any book by Jon Gordon.

A3 added a positive behavior system. "Keys to Success" with a field trip reward at the end of each nine weeks.
-
A3: We also added "Class of..." banners throughout the school during break. the kids were really surprised today. END IN MIND!
-
A3: Sometimes cartwheels are motivating for students. Right & ?
-
A3 I think this is the hardest bc goal setting and motivation go hand in hand but are VERY different. So I'm looking for ideas
-
A3: using wristbands for grade level reading/math; freshly baked cookies for P/D on MAP; more school-wide leadership roles
-
totally stealing that idea!
-
A3 I work with my asst and two counselors to advise individually and goal set with the students before spring MAP.
