How do we know what to use to reward student behavior and what is our ultimate goal in using rewards to enhance children's learning? 

To act with goal in mind as to what reward to use to student behavior is an essential part of curricula; and, especially students, the teacher, and members of the family are all involved; and, recognized themselves as the Team that created the Reward & Consequences Board of Merits.

If students are encouraged to process their own Behavior Chart with support from teacher and parents in creating the chart, a social theory is formed. Nonetheless, "self-regulated learning (Bandura) that represents a form of cognitive behavior modification", contributes to students the self-concept that is originally formed from experience. Rewards, praise, and "more-enjoyed activities" (151), or what we learn as Extrinsic rein-forcers will result to help weaken the negative behavior; and will enhance children's learning. More so, students "should be taught to have expectations for their own performance and to reinforce themselves" (Bandura) (151). Indeed, I can use this model. Hurray Bandura!
