SchoolStickers | The Leader in School Rewards

This Times Article reports on a Cornell University study on prize based rewards. To quote the article:

“Jackson found that pupils who benefited from the Texas high school programme not only went to college in greater numbers, but also continued to improve their grades and remained in college longer.

His 46-page report finds “no evidence of worse outcomes” and concludes “that incentive programmes may have lasting positive effects even after rewards are no longer provided. Providing monetary incentives to both students and teachers … can lead to meaningfully improved student outcomes”.”

The article also pulls information about the debate on prizes where some consider if defacto bribery leading to a dependence on rewards and others consider it a stepping stone to an intrinsic and long term love of learning. We all know that every school, every pupil is different. This research, and this article, provide some more colour in the motivation debate.

We’re a smarta 100 award winner ! Always nice to be recognized !
“The Smarta 100 are the most exciting, promising, disruptive new businesses, the family businesses who remain the cornerstones of communities, the innovators ploughing their own furrows in staid or declining industries, the recession-busters making a mockery of the doom and gloom, the web wonders, the teenpreneurs, mumpreneurs, olderpreneuers and, er, just about anyone who’s running a small business worth shouting about.
From the West Highlands to Westfield, we’re celebrating the high-street heroes, market traders on a mission, eBay entrepreneurs, budding Bransons and the emerging big businesses of tomorrow.
And we’ve picked out a few we think are extra smart in the areas that really make a business: resources, ethics, marketing and people.”

I am excited to say that our fun Father Christmas story about our mystickers reward system has been picked up by 103 different press outlets.

We’re in TES, Daily Mail, The Telegraph. We’re in papers from The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald to the China Daily. In all 12 national stories, 69 regional stories, 12 general online news media, 3 parent focused publications and 7 international publications!

Our story, full details are in an earlier post, was that our mystickers site has pupils from all over the country registering their rewards. Each of our stickers can have a unique mystickers code. Teacher’s give the coded stickers for good behaviour and pupils log then at mystickers.co.uk. Over 3,500 schools have used mystickers and in all over 2 million stickers have been logged. The story is in the data!

Pupils register their name with us and we can use that to work out which names have the most, and least, rewards. From that we assume that the most rewards = good and the least = naughty. Hey presto….Santa’s draft naughty or nice list! A fun pre-Christmas story!

Henry.

•    Frances and Shaun set to top Festive gift-list
•    Meghan and Rory need to be delightful all December
•    Boys ARE naughtier than girls


We’ve used our mystickers.co.uk data to calculate the nicest and the naughtiest kids names in the UK. Over 60,000 pupils over the UK have created online sticker books on mystickers.co.uk using the unique 6 digit codes printed on our stickers, praise postcards and certificates. Pupils collect their rewards to win in our monthly prize – this month they release their inner musician by winning a Playstation 3 with rock band and band in a box!

We’ve taken every first name with over 30 members and calculated the average rewards redeemed. We’ve then ranked them to work out who has the most (the nicest – and on Santa’s list!) or the least (the naughtiest – who need to be nice ALL December!)

Don’t forget this is a Santa’s DRAFT list! There is still a lot of time to be good !

Here’s the top and bottom 10 list:

Nicest Girls Naughtiest Girls Nicest Boys Naughtiest Boys
Frances Meghan Shaun Rory
Kelly Georgie Calum Harvey
Stacey Izzy Ali Bob
Eve Jess Brandon Tyler
Aisha Joanna Samuel Brad
Fiona Cara Steven Curtis
Melissa Maria Alfie Paul
Fatima Josie Mohammed Toby
Louisa Niamh Martin Carl
Annabel Erin Dylan Nick
Below are the full lists. With % Naughty and Nice (assumes the nicest are 100% nice and the naughtiest 100% naughty!

Congratulations to the winners of November’s prizes! We had two Nintendo DSi with the Brain Training games available.

One went to the top ranked pupil – a pupil from Highbury Fields School. One to a ‘raffle’ winner – a rafffle where every reward had a chance to win. The more rewards logged the better the chance. The raffle prize was, after a random pick, won by a student at St Joseph’s Catholic College in Bradford.

Congratulations !

This month we only have a raffle prize – and it’s a great one! A Playstation 3 with rock band and band in a box. A great way to release your inner musician ! Good luck !

Congrats to George Sully of Leytonstone Business and Enterprise Specialist School. He redeemed the 2 millionth sticker on mystickers.co.uk on the 22nd October 200 at 14:10 and 22 seconds.

3,000 schools in the UK buy our rewards (stickers, praise postcards, and certificates) with our 6 digit unique code. That code can be redeemed on mystickers where pupils (over 400,000 have registered so far) create an online reward book. Pupils compete in our monthly prizes (another pupil at Leytonstone won an ipod earlier this year) and can compete in school specific prizes if the school uses our FREE rewards management tool carrotrewards.co.uk.

George won the opportunity to be a zookeeper for the day at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent. He’ll have a VIP tour, make treats for and feed the gorillas, have the keeper show him the Rhinos and much more. Thanks to Port Lympne for supplying such a great prize. He also gets a certificate (shown left) and £100 for travel and the gift shop.
