Sue Cowley reflects on a day's filming at Welford Primary in Birmingham with NQT Chris Farnen's Y5 class of thirty mixed ability pupils. In this video they focus on the rewards Chris is using to motivate his pupils. The school has successfully introduced a 'passport to success' scheme and Chris also uses a table points system. Sue suggests that, alongside these individual and group rewards, a whole class reward when pupils have to work together to achieve an occasional treat can also work well as this encourages cooperation and social skills.
