Rewards & Incentives
Having a classroom full of high-performing students is amazing, but being able to tell them how well they’re doing can further enhance their learning experience. Shop Staples’ large variety of classroom rewards and show your appreciation for your hard working students.
What Are Classroom Rewards?
Classroom rewards incentivize students and show them that hard work merits a prize. With a reward on the line, students are more likely to stay engaged and pay attention to the lesson at hand.
Staples carries a variety of student awards and incentives. Classroom prizes come in many different shapes, sizes and applications. This allows for many different opportunities to reward students. Hand out a colorful sticker or badge for small achievements and offer functional goodies like pens or pencils for going above and beyond.
What Are the Benefits of Student Awards and Incentives?
Classroom prizes can boost self-esteem, encouraging students to try their best. Students will show interest and increase participation in daily classroom tasks, responsibilities and learning.
They are more likely to exhibit good behavior in the classroom when rewards are available. Incentives can motivate students to be more productive thanks to the feeling of pride and achievement they receive when they do well. In some cases, student awards and incentives can even help with homework completion.
How Should You Use Classroom Prizes?
Students enjoy being able to show off their achievements. One way to use classroom prizes is to reward the someone who received the best scores on a test or someone who consistently turns in homework on time. Stock up on stickers or badges so that students can stick them to their composition notebooks or calculators.
Get creative in how you use classroom prizes! Birthdays are a good excuse to make a student feel seen and appreciated. Rewarding perfect attendance shows students that you see their effort and dedication to class. Occasionally offering classroom rewards to students who aren’t top performers could make them more interested in the class or participating in general.
