Developing a Token Society

Token societies are a great way to encourage students to work hard in the classroom. It is well known that rewarded behavior is repeated behavior and a token society represents this perfectly. Teachers can use charts and point systems to determine the type of rewards that should be given. By giving students rewards for good work, students are encouraged to apply themselves fully to their work. As they advance in school, they will soon begin to work hard for the reward of success and not simply to receive a treat. Token societies can be a great motivator for the classroom throughout the grades.
