Extra Credit Achievements - Make E.C. Meaningful for You & Students!

Hey, teachers, do you hate the song and dance surrounding extra credit? Are you tired of students begging for extra credit as the end of term nears? Do you wish your extra credit was more meaningfully tied to the learning outcomes in ways that motivated students to do it? Are you looking to "gamify" your classroom for the new generation of students?

If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, then these digital materials are for you. Learn about how to implement achievements in virtually any classroom, modeled after the achievements your students are accustomed to earning in the video games they play.

What you get:

• A pdf file outlining the successful system that I've employed and refined since 2016, including an example of how I explain the system to students.
• A PowerPoint slideshow (in pdf format) offering my motive and rationale for the system, an overview of what achievements involve, and tips for success based on concrete student feedback.
• An Excel spreadsheet listing all of the achievements and achievement groups I've used in the past. For each, I provide you the name, level, badge/icon, and completion logic. I also include some notes about how to adapt the various achievement groups to your own class needs.
• Access to my email address and product chat to ask me questions and/or brainstorm ideas.

What it costs:

Pay what you want but please give credit! I'm an educator at heart so I love to share teaching resources but this is also propriety content that I'm providing potentially free of charge. Regardless of whether you pay $0 or $100, I would appreciate attribution for any of the ideas or materials you implement in your own teaching.

If you find the materials valuable and think they're worth a little money, I would appreciate your contributions. If you pay for the materials and don't find them worth what you paid, reach out to me and I'd be happy to give you a full or partial refund.

I was shocked at the overwhelmingly positive feedback I've received over the past decade about this system so I'm confident it will work wonders for you as well!
