I love the idea of no 0's. At my school we have a no 0 policy and the "offenders" are referred to the office to be conferenced and disciplined and their parents are called. Then the students who have less than three referrals per semester get to go on a field trip during the regular school day while the others are left at school to do assignments. I think your research plan is a good way to get the students motivated to turn in their assignments.
ReplyDeleteplan of action looks good. I would love to go the water park! I am intersted to see if the student's who would normally not be motivated become motivated because of the water park. I think something like this can work for some kids - I have fond memories of learning my multiplication facts in 3rd grade for the sole purpose of the off-campus pizza party! My teacher even drove us in her Linclon!
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeleteGreat job with your action research plan. The topic of how best to motivate students is interesting, and topical. Keep working hard to achieve your research goals!
