Moving From

Honour Roll to

Honour All

Every child has a gift. It is our role to discover and nurture this gift.

Dr. Lorna Williams

My issues with rewards in school...

Doing the right thing... just because it is the right thing to do.

Students need teaching.....not punishment.

Reflect...

It is not our job to motivate students; it is our job to create the conditions in

which they motivate themselves.

1. How do we create the conditions in which EVERY child is honoured in their areas of strength and challenged in their areas of struggle?

2. How do we work to move away from rewards and punishments so we create the conditions for students become more intrinsically motivated?
