Giving Their Best: Grading and Recognition Practices That Motivate Students to Work Hard.
Mac Iver, Douglas J.; Reuman, David A.
American Educator: The Professional Journal of the American Federation of Teachers, v17 n4 p24-31 Win 1993-94
Traditional assessment, grading, and student-recognition practices are partly responsible for the low levels of student effort pervading American schools. Two improvement-focused systems for student accountability and recognition that have been field tested are presented: The Incentives for Improvement Program (Baltimore, Maryland) and the Windham Challenge Program (Willimantic, Connecticut).
