Award Templates for Students
Teachers work hard to establish inclusive classroom communities where their students feel supported, seen and heard. Learning involves risk-taking and students are better prepared to take risks, challenge themselves, grow and learn in an environment that is supportive and nurturing. Creating this type of setting takes dedication and is evident in practically everything that teachers do! From getting to know their students on a personal level, supporting their individual learning styles, setting ground rules and boundaries, providing feedback and encouragement, teachers are constantly working to establish and maintain a classroom environment that supports students both academically and emotionally.
One way to help with this endeavor is to make a habit of acknowledging students' progress. Everyone needs to feel appreciated and valued. Student award certificates are one way to achieve this! These awards templates can be customized to be beautiful acknowledgements of any superlative or achievement. Classroom awards for students might be in the form of prizes, privileges, or certificates. These printable awards for students can be easily customized and displayed digitally or printed. Teachers love to acknowledge students' hard work and students love to feel seen and appreciated!
Psst! These awards templates don't have to be just for students! They can easily be customized and used for teachers, administrators, support staff, cafeteria staff, custodians, parent helpers and anyone in the school or classroom that deserves recognition!
