Our PLC discussed today that we will implement for the next week a motivation strategy that is based upon rewarding for participation and work ethic. A group of instructors who wish to participate will allow students to have personal time to use their computers and socialize quietly as they wish for the last ten minutes of class if: the instructor is able to get through their lesson and if work given for the day is either completed or attempted with an honest effort.
Happy Wednesday!
