Find It Fund It Florida - Hillsborough Education Foundation

The goal of this project is to encourage students to participate in class and gain a feeling of pride in their work and improve test scores. Students do not always perceive their progress as we do, so giving them a chance to earn desirable prizes such as snacks and fidgets, will help students notice their own awesomeness and continue their forward momentum. Weekly students track their science mini assessments (a targeted standard) on a graph, students scoring 80 or 100 percents get small treat of their choosing. At the end of each quarter the students take a QMT assessment that monitors their overall progress of the standards that were on the mini assessments. Students have set overall goals for both the QMT’s and the mini assessments. The tracking graph is reflected on weekly to monitor students goals and how they participated within the science blocks that week.

How Project Benefits Students

This project will benefit students by providing them a purpose that is more aligned student academic ownership. Not only will this provide students with a renewed desire in their work, it will also solidify the pride they have in themselves and their work. Additionally, the prizes will be fidget items that are designed to assist students in stress relief and focus and food items that teens are constantly craving.  

 

Expected Outcome(s)

1) Students will identify, breakdown, and track their academic goals weekly and quarterly.
2) Students will meet with teacher weekly or bi-weekly (Fridays) to review their week self-monitoring tracker and discuss strategies to improve.
3) At the end of each quarter, students will once again reflect on their assessment tracker and meet with the teacher to verify that they've met their goals. If the goals are met for the QMT’s at the end of each quarter the student will receive a prize.
