In this article the author, Eric Priceman, argues that rewarding accomplishments is part of the education processes it only creates a problem when we let it. I feel as though his argument is in fact persuasive and reaches his intended neutral audience. Priceman starts by giving directions in differentiating the terms award and reward. These words are commonly used synonymously and Eric makes an underlying statement that if one is to make this argument, for or against, they must first define these two words. In addition to his initial definition Priceman establishes ethos when he brings up the fact that he has 3 adult children. His credibility is shown because his kids are no longer growing up, they have grown up and he has went through these

Margaret Heffernan once said, “For good ideas and true innovation, you need a mix of human interaction, conflict, argument, and debate.” In the article it is debated if there is any benefit in monetary rewards for students. Teachers, and parents alike are always trying to find the best way to reward and inspire there students to do well in school. Matthew G Springer is a professor of Public Policy and Education at Vanderbilt University. He is also the director of the National Center on Performance Incentives. He wrote this article to display his research and studies.

The Appellant Roger Wayne Cole, was stopped by the police for driving with a broken tail light and immediately arrested for driving with a suspended license. The appellant claims that his actions can be justified because he was trying to get help for his wife who was six months pregnant at the time and was experiencing severe stomach and back pain. He testified that before he was arrested that day he went to the neighbor’s house to use their phone but they didn’t answer the door. The appellant explained that because he did not have access to a phone he had no other choice than to drive to the nearest payphone half a mile away to call his mother in law and ask her to take his wife to the hospital.

Reinforcement that occurs directly because of the students actions. No one else is needed to get the reinforcement.

Interestingly we were working towards a method of rewarding when assessing, setting targets and goals. This became clearer to me when reading Petty, (2014,p.67) in which he talks about “Medals and missions are related to the goals the student is working

I’m aware that all staff that work with and are part of the setting have the responsibility in modelling standards of behaviour. This is both from who deals with those children that attend the school and amongst colleagues, as the examples of those will have a significant influence on the children. Good relations and strong partnerships between staff members will encourage positive and good behaviour of all children. All staff and adults within the school setting should always aim to create a cheerful and positive environment that will hold high, but have reasonable expectations of all children who attends the school, highlight the meaning of being respected as an individual within the setting of the

Criterion-Specific Rewards. Criterion-specific rewards can be used as part of a proactive intervention for managing classroom behavior. Students may earn criterion-specific rewards such as activities, privileges, and tangible incentives after the occurrence of an identified target

During our class discussion last week, we discussed Microbes Help Grow Better Crops, by Richard Conniff. In the article by Richard Conniff, he states that, “Adding bacteria to a crop to prevent human disease could be the start of a whole new path to food safety.” This statement by Richard Conniff explains to us the idea of preventing diseases by adding bacteria to a crop. As a result, we will be able to prevent most human diseases from existing in the first place. We as a society haven’t implemented the idea about adding bacteria to crops yet, but suggesting ideas that can help prevent problems for us as a whole is the first step to making our future better for us. Diseases such as, salmonella and E-coli can be prevented with the new understanding

It is important to establish appropriate behaviour and respect for others in order to fully realise the potential of all within and to ensure each student is safe from both physical and psychological harm. Appropriate behaviour must apply to both student and teacher. I, as a teacher, must follow a Code of Practice in order foster individual growth and learning. The principles of Good Practice are to treat people with care, respect and dignity. To recognise that I, as a teacher, am a trusted representative of my work place. I must ensure communication with students is open and clear and assess the risks to my students of the activities by carrying out a thorough risk assessment before each session.

Is it possible for someone to have too much power? In all three novels we have read this year, one of the leaders from each book has been corrupted by power. Whether it was the power they possessed or the power they desired to have, they were pushed over the edge because of power. With that being said, too much power can turn people selfish and controlling.

A reward is a high extrinsic motivator. The reward can be monetary, gift certificate, day off with pay, a two hour lunch, or working for two hours on anything but work. All entice performance and competition in the workplace. A gold star, being the teacher’s helper for a day, no daily

Richard Rorty: starts his essay describing incredible brutality done by the hands of one group of people (Serbs) to another (Muslims). The writer then elaborates on the logic behind such action as he introduces the concept of human rights in the essay. He state that the actions done by the Serbs in Bosnia to the Muslims are not a violation of human rights. For the acts committed against Muslims such as murder and rape weren’t committed against fellow human beings but to Muslims. They are not being inhuman, but rather are discriminating between humans and the pseudo humans. Rorty then begins a brief explanation of pragmatism as it relates to the human rights culture. He states that our human right culture is morally superior to other cultures,

In the event that one of us are faced with this situation it is important to understand that we have a duty of care to our learners and teachers alike.

Many students are driven by grades for higher education and future jobs. When rewards such as candy and toys are used to gain student motivation it can be considered bribery.

The reason is that the reward is not the main thing that is backing up the action; but something else that could be self-develop, peace, etc. An example is a boy does his homework just because he was told by his parents to do his homework. Based on that the boy believes that his parents know what is best for him to do.
