Reward Systems
Reward systems are an effective way in which you can celebrate student achievement and positive student behaviour. The use of rewards within the classroom are a form of extrinsic motivation for students, encouraging them to participate cooperatively in academic and social learning experiences (Hoffman, Huff, Patterson & Nietfield, 2009). However, it is important to recognise that these rewards systems should be consistent and fair, providing students with motivation and encouragement (Mansor, et. al., 2012). You should try and implement a continual reward system that is based on upholding the classroom rules, rights and responsibilities (Hoffman, et. al., 2009; Mansor, et. al., 2012).

Whole School Management and Reward Systems
Many schools implement a whole school approach to the organisation and implementation of reward systems. Mostly, these reward systems cover all aspects of the school environment including classroom, playgrounds and out of school settings. Students are commonly rewarded for the good behaviour that reflects and upholds the values that the school prides themselves on. This is also often stated in the whole school management system. Try to find out whether PHPS has a whole school system in regard to behaviour management and student rewards. If not, you could take some time to read through some of the following programs from different schools and draw some techniques and strategies from which you could implement within your own classroom.
