My Reward System:
For my reward system in my own class, I would like to mix the classroom coupons and
the marbles in the jar concepts together. They both have really great pros and their cons can be
fixed with simple ideas. The marbles in the jar concept gets them to work as a classroom to reach
a goal. The classroom coupons could be an everyday reward where the marble in the jar would
take longer. These give more intrinsic rewards rather than extrinsic. Many rewards systems used
in classrooms today revolve around extrinsic motivation which is where a student behaves well
or completes an assignment for a piece of candy or a small toy in the treasure box. This doesnt
give the students any intrinsic motivation like behaving in class because they want but because if

they do, they will get candy. That teaches our students how to be greedy and I do not want that
for my students.
Rationale:
I chose these rules, consequences, and rewards because these will help build character in
my students. That is the whole point on why I am becoming a teacher. Teachers shape who we
become and many teachers out there forget that when they set up their rules and rewards system.
Making rules is a huge part of classroom management because without them, the students will
not have any discipline, which they need in their life. Discipline has such a nasty stigma attached
to it when it is so necessary in a classroom. Consequences are what they learn the lesson from.
School is all about learning lessons and I mean that literally and figuratively. Literally, the
students are learning lessons every day in the classroom and figuratively, they are learning life
lessons in the classroom, the playground, and everywhere else on campus. When I was in school,
if I ever got in trouble, which was very rare, I would only remember that bad thing for the rest of
the day. Whatever good happened that day was automatically erased because I got in trouble. I
never wanted to experience that ever again and I learned from that consequence. Consequences
can be intrinsic and extrinsic as well. If the students receive consequences that have no effect on
them like a detention slip, then how are they learning from it? The answer is that they are not.
Also, with new teachers, we dont really know how to punish our students properly. We wont
know until we learn their backgrounds and their personalities. From what I have learned in class,
A new teacher may be over punishing students when they take their recess away,
(Conversation with Professor Juarez, 2017). I also learned that, background must be considered
when punishing students because there is always a need behind the deed, (Conversation with
Professor Juarez, 2017). As a soon-to-be teacher, I know that these concepts need to be like

second hand nature to me because the students in my classroom depend on it. As for the reward
system I chose, I feel that it will give my students a better outlook on what to expect for their
future classes. As they get older, their teachers wont be the happy female teachers they are used
to seeing but the more serious looking teachers. Some teachers might not even use a reward
system in their class and I want my students prepared for anything. Thats my main goal for
teaching. To prepare my students as much as I can and to get them to be their best self. With
