Motivating Students to Study: Expectations, Rewards, Achievement. A "Bulletin" Special.
Bishop, John
NASSP Bulletin, v73 n520 p27-38 Nov 1989

Educators can make studying pay off by offering school-based rewards, providing diplomas certifying various competencies, and challenging college-bound students with advanced placement courses. (MLH)
