Awarding students for their effort.

i think you are right.giving an award to all students that participated will increase their confidence.and i think great enthusiasm is very important for studying.i am very glad to find you are a good teacher.becausr you understand that confidence and enthusiasm is the first step for every student.

I think it's great that you could reward the students for their effort. I participated in quite a few events when I was in school and in high-school, but I never got anything. Only at the end of the year I was receiving a certificate along the best few of our class, certificate that was accompanied by a book. And let me tell you that I didn't want an award or something for all the competition I've participated and qualified for higher stages, a simple certificate of participation would have meant the world to me! Only recently, in college and master classes I've started receiving certificates of participation for the various sessions of communication I've participated. It feels great to see that someone took a while even to make a certificate of participation!

well, receiving a certificate is cool but to receive cash is wonderfull...

That is a very excellent job. As a student for 16 years, I do experince how it feels not to recieve any awards why your classmates are celebrating thier triumph because they were awarded by our techer. One way of motivating students to study hard it to give them rewards-That was what I learned during my on the job training. I was impressed on how my students behaved when I gave all of them rewards. They were very much motivated with that. LIke you everytime I gave them rewards, I make sure that all of them recived. Continue what you are doing. Thats good!

and i want to ask how old are your students maybe you can give them candy if they are little or give them sincere comments if they are young heart to heart and nothing in object

our school is not participating in anyhealth and safety exhibition

It is hard to have so many great students that try to work hard and not be able to award them as you feel they should be for their hard work. But a certificate is just a good it is something that they can keep and look back on and say Hey I worked hard for this. It is something they can hang up and be proud of.

that will be a good move on your part.children need some sort of motivation to do better next time.

That's good ^_^ At least it makes the students feel that their hard work is worth it, and they are recognized for their efforts, no matter they win it or not.. It's a very good encouragement and motivation for them.. As students, everybody likes to be rewarded and be praised.. Because most of the time, it's always easy to reprimand rather than praised ^_^ I'm sure the students will appreciate it as much ^_^

You have a great idea out there and indeed, it needs to be appreciated as well even they haven't get the top prize but the recognition is worth a thousand prizes. Certificate of Appreciation is a nice to start and a good token for them because we all know that there's only one who would get the top prize. Great job man.!!

Its good that you are giving all your students something

Instead of rewarding one, why not a party for all of the participants that the school sponsored? That way all would be rewarded as I think effort is more important than the end results.

Hi ronaldinu, That is a good idea so no student will be left out, good for you. Tamara

thats very fortful :) as an ex student i didnt like anything better than good feedback from teachers xxx

That is a good initiative. It will give lot of encouragement to the participant group of students to do better in their next project. All participating students are worth getting award, but by giving award to the best project will create a motive of competition among others to do better next time.
