Getting started with Learning Earnings is simple. Teachers easily create online classrooms by pointing and clicking on their students’ names. Each month the classroom is allotted a specific number of LE Bucks per student to distribute. Teachers decide what behaviors they are interested in rewarding, such as turning in homework, participating in outside reading, coming to class prepared, or improving a grade, just to name a few.
Teachers have the option to award either printed LE Bucks or send students electronic “E‐Bucks” through our site. Each LE Buck has a unique code that is entered by the student on the site to credit his or her account. Students redeem rewards at any time on the site. Rewards are set at a range of values so that students have access to small rewards or may save up for more valuable ones. Learning Earnings actively manages the rewards and relies on students' suggestions to identify rewards that will continue to motivate and thus equate to higher achievement.
