Learning Earnings (replacing GOTCHAs)

will now be incorporated into each teacher's

grade book in INOW. Learning Earnings is an

educational resource that is dedicated to supporting

teachers and motivating students. Teachers, you'll set the bar for

your students' success. Incentives will help students not just reach

that bar, but surpass it. After they do, students can choose their

prizes from a range of Learning Earnings Rewards! Let’s continue

to deposit greatness into our students, allowing them to make

pleasurable withdrawals!
