"The pupils buy into it because it is fun"
Michael Lowe, the Business Manager at Gladesmore Community School, Tottenham, London first heard about the management tool Carrot Rewards at a Capital Conference and immediately saw it's potential (especially with such features as its easy integration into SIMS).
Michael was looking for a way to engage students and staff and parents with the new system as it was crucial that they were onboard.
As Michael states:
"The kids find it engaging and exciting and they embrace technology...the teachers have bought into it because all they have to do is give out stickers. They decide what they want to give the stickers out for, behaviour, work, reading etc, but the rest is up to the kids as they register their own rewards. Teachers can then use Carrot Rewards to check what rewards have been registered and easily create reports which previously would have been done through complicated excel spreadsheets. Parents use it as they like to track the progress of their kids, and the statistics are available to them at any time."
Due to these factors, Carrot Rewards has had success whereas other systems were not as effective:
"Unlike other reward schemes we had tried, engagement really is across the whole school, with 1500 stickers are being logged every week. The system has surpassed all our expectations."
