Group Motivation

Page 19

​Many teachers fall into the habit of overusing extrinsic motivation and dole out candy or small toys like they are going out of style. These reward systems do have their place in the classroom in many situations, but should not be relied upon solely for student motivation. Extrinsic motivators can also be used to create a sense of community and teamwork when the students work together to achieve a goal. Some teachers may use a class party, a no-homework pass, extra outdoor time, or a small treat when the class meets their goal.     
Some ideas for group extrinsic motivational strategies
Marble Jar
The class gets a marble in the jar when they are all on task, walk quietly through the halls, someone helps a friend, they receive a compliment from a staff member, etc. When the jar is filled up, there is a group reward.

Tally Marks
​Similar to the marble jar, the teacher writes a tally mark on the board for each time the class is on task, quiet, etc. When the class earns the desired number of the tally marks they get a group reward. 
Sticker or Stamp Chart
A stamp or sticker is earned when the group is on task, working well together, receives a compliment, etc. When a determined number of stamps or stickers are earned, the reward is given.
Random Rewards
The teacher walks around the room with some kind of reward, without warning or routine, and silently places it on the desk of the students who are on task, or exhibiting desired behavior. Often, all students quickly take notice and stay on task to earn their rewards. 
*Note about these group reward systems: The marbles, marks, and stamps can be taken away by a staff member for undesired behavior, motivating the group to encourage their peers to improve.   
​ 
While whole-group intrinsic motivation is often a challenge to implement, it does boost confidence, and provide a longer term motivation boost when it does occur. Things such as staff member praise or compliments can go a long way. Teacher praise as well as a weekly newsletter sent home explaining the positive group behavior also works wonders to support intrinsic motivation! Try to support intrinsic motivation for your group whenever possible.
