Do you give your students awards and certificates at the end of the semester and at the end of the school year?
That's great, but you are missing an important opportunity to positively reinforce your students if you only select these times of the year to present your students with awards that they can take home to share with their parents.
Some students never receive an award at end of the year awards assemblies. Imagine how these students feel year after year when they know that they will never receive a recognition award during the school year.
It is important to recognize improvement and achievement in your students who are struggling with the curriculum and performing below grade level.
When you give an award to a lower achieving student, you boost his/her confidence level and they are more likely to continue working hard, or even harder, in that academic area.
I encourage you to try handing out student achievement awards once a week at the end of the school week. When you recognize, notice, and reward students' small achievements, as well as their large achievements, you are far more likely to see your students continue to work hard during the rest of the school year.
Your students' parents will appreciate this extra effort on your part as well!
If you are looking for student awards and certificates that you can use throughout the school year, then you have found the right place to find unique student certificates to positively reinforce your students for their achievements and improvement!
On this page, you will find a variety of awards and certificates to give to your students in a variety of subject areas and school related themes. I have designed a black and white template of each award for you to download and sample for free. The color template of each award is available for purchase.
Each of my award templates is designed with a large border so that it is easy for you to cut it out. To make it seem more official and important, I like to laminate my students' certificates before I hand them out. You will find awards in the following categories: reading, spelling, language arts, math, science, attendance, behavior, and many more academic areas.
