This year, Clarkston has put an emphasis on goal setting by doing Level Up Thursdays in which students and classes are celebrated for working hard to reach their academic goals! This week students had a special visit from Snarg, the iReady mascot.
Celebrating when students achieve their goals is a vital part of their educational journey. Recognizing and commemorating these milestones not only boosts students' self-esteem and motivation but also reinforces the idea that hard work and determination lead to success.
These celebrations provide a sense of accomplishment, encouraging students to set and strive for new objectives. Additionally, they foster a positive learning environment by acknowledging the importance of effort and perseverance. Celebrations can be both personal, such as self-reflection and self-praise, and communal, involving teachers, peers, and family, creating a support network that values and encourages academic and personal growth.
In the long run, celebrating achievements can instill a lifelong love for learning and a strong sense of self-efficacy in students, preparing them for future challenges and successes.
