Create a Competition between Classes

Jami Hitt, a middle school teacher in Hawaii, created a competition between her reading workshop classes based on percent of lessons passed. She explains, "I post the new data at the beginning of each week and talk to the students about them. At the end of each quarter, the top three classes earn a reward. Our target is 80%. Each quarter I add students who achieved an 80% or higher to the "80 & Up Club." I post the members of the club on a board in my room so everyone can see the student names. In reading workshop, students also set goals every week over the number of lessons they would like to complete and how many lessons we would like to pass of the lessons completed. I post all of these goals in my room as a reminder throughout the week. We set these goals every Monday, and students are asked to reflect on their actual completion at the end of each week."

Kaleigh Borrink creates i-Ready competitions for her students related to the seasons, holidays, and more! "Our kids use i-Ready instruction four days a week. In order to keep it from becoming stale, I host competitions between my classes. For instance, in the weeks leading up to Halloween, I hung paper pumpkins outside the computer lab, and for every ten lessons the class completed, they'd earn a "carving" for their pumpkin. The class who finished their Jack-O-Lantern first won cupcakes. I've also had the kids participate in their model. For instance, last year before Chinese New Year, we hung up dragons and every time they completed a lesson they got a sticker (aka, a "scale") to put on their class dragon. The most decorated dragon got a prize." Kaleigh says she's seen a major benefit since creating these little competitions for her students. "I also really like to see the kids support each other when the competition gets heated. When it comes down to the last few days of a competition, and two classes are neck-and-neck, they get really competitive and value every lesson that their classmates complete."

Keep Students Engaged by Earning i-Ready Brag Tags

Laura Malone, a teacher in Louisiana, uses i-Ready Brag Tags in her classroom. She explains, "I am using brag tags in my classroom as a way to recognize academic and behavioral achievement. This was my first year using i-Ready Math. We were told that in order to see growth and success, students need to use i-Ready for a minimum of 45 minutes a week. My i-Ready Math day is every Wednesday. Students use the entire class time to work in i-Ready as I monitor them. During the last 10 minutes of class, students call out how many lessons they have passed since last week (they also do i-Ready in a computer lab once a week). To keep them engaged, I reward lessons passed in increments of 5, so when they pass their next 5 lessons, they earn an "I passed 5 math lessons!" brag tag. The kids get to come up to the board and put their brag tag on their ring. I make the tags in different colors, and the kids love to collect all the colors. When they pass 25 lessons, they get a special silver brag tag. No one has passed 50 lessons yet, but that brag tag will be gold. It has become a competition to see who can get the most tags (and of course that means passing the most lessons!), and the kids get to wear them on special occasions like Awards Day. We also use this system for i-Ready Reading."
