This playbook is a flexible resource designed for you to “choose your own adventure.” You do not need to implement every idea at once.
Instead, use these sections to build a custom motivation plan that builds upon your site’s unique culture and capacity.
Involve caregivers in your motivation plan through consistent communication and student shout-outs. This playbook includes a full page of Caregiver Connection strategies, like “Live in Action” snapshots and communication ideas, to keep families in the loop and invested in student success.
Involve students from the start by letting them vote on the rewards and milestones that motivate them most. Once your plan is in place, hand over the daily operations – moving tokens, distributing tickets, or updating tracking charts – to student leaders to make the motivation system more meaningful and sustainable. The guide also includes further tips on how to integrate student voice and choice into your motivation plan.
