Before you go stomping off to read one of the many diatribes against the use of external rewards, including research-based arguments, consider this: I’m not suggesting we turn our schools or society into a sideshow in which everything is motivated by external rewards and punishments. (Oh, wait, maybe that already has happened to our society.) My point is we should use thoughtful reinforcement strategies to help students and others develop the cognitive and emotional skills to help them become wonderful people.
