This week, Mr. Beer, an Environmental Science teacher, found a way to encourage his students to improve their test scores. “I offered an incentive to my students if, on the next test, the overall or any individual class average was at least 70%: [sic] I would dress as a fictional character of their choice for all/successful classes,” Beer detailed in an email to faculty and staff. “And then…,” Beer says, “my students did it.”
The winner of the fictional character contest? Elsa, from Disney’s Frozen movie franchise, which includes Frozen (2013) & Frozen 2 (2019).
For reference, here is a photo of the Disney character:
Beer’s students exceeded the required 70% average grade threshold for the reward. In the end, Beer gave a wonderful performance & experience for his students.
“They far exceeded the reward threshold,” says Beer. “I am so proud of my students!”
