My Project

Please help me create an engaging reward system for students that encourages participation, achievement, and continued interaction in Art. By offering a variety of incentives tied to the completion of challenges and making good choices in the art room.

In Art, my students follow the ARTSTAR system, which is a classroom management tool in which students practice and eventually master positive routines and behaviors in their creative space.

As they model positive learning experiences they are rewarded tickets. When they earn a certain amount of tickets, they gain access to the chest. The goal of this reward system is to encourage students to actively participate, demonstrate positive behaviors and choices, and consistently engage in creative learning experiences.

By connecting rewards to specific achievements and completion of challenges, we aim to build a supportive, motivating, and interactive art environment. Through the use of strategic incentives, such as the requested mini paint sets, scented erasers, pencils, and sensory toys, we aim to build a sense of accomplishment and pride while motivating students to continue their artistic journey.
