Audio summary
Stimulated by a question from a listener, Paul starts by outlining his suggested five key principles of a good reward system:
Where there is a ‘token economy’ in the reward system, it can very easily become corrupted - not necessarily deliberately - by teachers who are too mean or too generous, children who try to play the system for more rewards or the natural instinct to over-reward children who decide to behave for half an hour. My contribution to the summary I've just started a PBL in my classroom and decided to reward great work with digital badges. So far, it's a challenge plus and my students are competing who'd win the badge since I've limited class quota to max.5 badges (per class) for each task and assessment. I'm thinking of introducing digital badges for good behavior too. They'd be rewarded to students and pinned to their digital portfolios to which parents have direct access.
