Reinforcing+Effort+and+Promoting+Recognition

"Resident Experts"- At the beginning of the year, students list all the things they at which they consider themselves "experts". Post a sheet of paper for each child in an accessible place in your classroom and add their lists of things. Throughout the year, build the lists as they become experts of new topics, and have classmates refer to the lists to seek a peer helper for whatever topic in which they need support.

Quantum Learning Celebrations- There are several You Tube videos available that you can watch from a non-school computer to see the various celebrations modeled.
