The Teacher Award App rewards students for performing tasks in the classroom. The teacher sets up the calendar year and provides students with an access code. Students automatically earn a point each day for completing teacher assigned tasks. The teacher periodically adjusts points only for students who have over or under achieved. Students can progress to 10 Levels of achievement plus a bonus level. Students receive a new electronic reward on their mobile device for each new level reached.
The Teacher Award App helps to improve student behavior and academic focus. Students will look forward to checking their progress on their mobile device on a daily basis because of the engaging award display. Although the teacher is the final arbiter of why the points will be awarded, point composition can consist of behavior, as well as, academic goals. The app serves as a powerful way to encourage positive behavior alignment in the classroom.
The app also frees the teacher from maintaining massive detailed logs on student interactions in the classroom environment. Instead, the teacher can note the exceptions and enter adjustments +/- to on their mobile device for a select group of students.
