A gold star was as good as it got when I was at school… admittedly that was back in the dark ages, but you should see what the kids get these days when they do a good job! Fluorescent stickers, stickers that smell (smell nice, that is !), laser ones, metallic ones, certificates, bookmarks etc… there are literally hundreds of different things that teachers give out now to reward and incentivise kids. They all have different messages on them, so you know how kids are about collecting things… they never have to get the same one twice !
I was introduced to an amazing array of teacher resources when I went to interview the MD of one of our clients, Australian Teaching Aids, at their warehouse where they distribute their products to retailers and schools around Aussie who order online via ATA’s new website. I was blown away by the range of stuff they send out, beautiful laminated charts, zany pencils, books, merit certificates..you name it, but I was a sucker for the stickers ! Takes me back to childhood. And amazingly, the majority of their stuff is all made in Australia so they are proudly supporting local industry which is great. Gold stars are so yesterday… these teaching aids are enough to make any kid feel like a star in the classroom !
