2. Working Together to Engage Students!
Hi Darren
I just wanted to say a massive thank you! ‘Y’ & ‘X’ have been showing me
their workbooks for tech as they are impressed with the work that they
have achieved and it’s so nice to see them enthusiastic about work!
I understand you have been rewarding them with points for every page
they complete and it has certainly worked! Almost every morning in reg
last week they were keen to show me how their work is progressing.
I also have a star reward chart in my room and they are now all in
competition to see who can reach 100 points first!
Thank you – it’s been a great boost for the boys.

3. Impact of Super Learner Points!
Thanks very much for this update Katy. It is great to know they are as
enthusiastic outside of the lesson as they are in the lesson. The turn
around in X has been outstanding. He is staying after school this
Thursday until 6pm again with me too. I also put an excel chart on the
board which documents each individual’s progress which is really
motivating them, as well as introducing some healthy competitiveness.
I think I might do something similar with the star system in tutor times.
The boys in my tutor group especially are loving the R points. I struggle
to take the register once they all get their daily update (-: great to see
this enthusiasm in such a vital year!
Thanks again.
Darren
