Character-education program helps students succeed
11.10.09
A card in the pocket reminds students at Palo Verde Middle School in Phoenix that being kind, respectful and responsible – in other words, demonstrating outstanding character at school – leads to rewards. And what reward motivates students to be accountable and helpful?
According to Mike Scantlin, a social-studies, government and history teacher at Washington Elementary School District’s largest middle school, an extra 90 minutes of playing soccer, basketball or flag football or listening to music.
“The kids consciously know they can be rewarded for staying on task, raising their hand, turning in their homework,” Scantlin said. “They make more of an effort because they want to go play soccer. Do we always have to entice them to get them to participate? No. But that’s a really strong motivator.”
А вот знаете о чём я сейчас подумала.
10 дней на Новогодние каникулы – это очень много. Сперва как все обрадовалась, что одыхать полмесяца придётся. А вот как вспомнила прошлый год, и позапрошлый. Так что-то передумала. Сами посудите, ни денег, ни здоровья не хватит. Опять головная боль, опять лишние калории, и опять весь год хождения в спортзал насмарку.
Ну что смеётесь? я не права??
I congratulate, this rather good idea is necessary just by the way
Not in it an essence.
I am sorry, it does not approach me. Perhaps there are still variants?
Bravo, your opinion is useful
It has touched it! It has reached it!
