May Friday 5: Building Better Acknowledgement Systems

#3 Individual Student Celebrations and Acknowledgements

Building positive, thriving school and classroom communities with a culture of growth happens when effort and achievement are recognized and celebrated at the school, classroom, and individual student levels. Recognizing individual students for their effort and achievements creates a sense of belonging and increases their individual intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy – believing that they can achieve, thereby promoting their ability to set attainable goals and own their progress.
