I have a "list of champions" which is basically a dynamic list of students who are doing well and who want a little extra recognition. They have the honor of presenting by my side--and each time that group of kids comes back, they are on FIRE for going to the next conference! In our charter school, we have many, very bright students who were not challenged in reg school. In order for them to earn their "A's" they have to do MORE and BETTER than I have asked/required for them to do. This is not so in the reg class, so they're willing to help out by testing/working with/training others in new software. We also have a custodian for 1 hour a WEEK, so my students also have to take care of our physical school and grounds too. It does give more incentive for them to take care as well as learn new skills (such as WASHING DISHES, or VACUUMING--honestly they don't know this!!!!). :) Thanks for sharing, Syliva!
