Celebrating Success: Recognizing Academic and Behavioral Excellence at PCMS - 12

Celebrating Success: Recognizing Academic and Behavioral Excellence at PCMS

 

One of PCMS's initiatives this year focuses on acknowledging students who meet expectations. Each month, they provide incentives for achievements in areas like attendance, academics, and responsible behavior. Embracing accountability, meeting deadlines, and fulfilling commitments are vital life skills that bring substantial benefits over time. PCMS aims to motivate their scholars to pursue excellence. These guidelines are designed to give students aa streamlined framework that can be applied to any type of learning environment. The House System builds character with a reward system that goes beyond something like earning a piece of candy from a candy jar for doing something good. Instead, each student’s achievements add to a collective group, making the reward communal and social. We have seen this change the way that a student perceives points over time: what may start as extrinsic motivation in the beginning turns into intrinsic motivation as the student realizes the behavioral and academic traits and ethics that are valued by their peers.

 

The incentives change each month, presenting new and exciting opportunities for students to explore. From trips to the Georgia National Fair, ice skating outings, to visits to Six Flags, students are actively engaging in their classes, working towards improved test scores, and enhancing their attendance and behavior!
