Positive Email had a Magical Effect
Many students struggle with negative self-talk and built-up failure is perhaps one of the hardest walls to shift. When I introduced a rewards system in my class (with options like free time, treats, homework free week or a positive email home) I was amazed how many students chose the email – in a high school!! The positive email had a magical effect, especially for students who had only felt failure. Sometimes had to really search for positives to put in the email, but those students became my new best friends and we started to see success.
