In this episode of Playing Teacher, we unpack one of the most familiar — and controversial — strategies in elementary education: rewards and incentives. From treasure boxes and pizza parties to Dojo points and public praise, we examine how these practices shape student motivation, behavior, and identity in the classroom.

Whether you're a teacher filling sticker charts or a parent wondering about prize-based learning, this episode offers practical insights and philosophical food for thought.
