Recently we instituted a recognition ceremony for all learners who have perfect attendance for the week. Each learner who has perfect attendance receives a certificate in a group ceremony. All learners who receive the certificate are entered in a drawing for a prize. A name is picked from a hat and the winner receives a gift (usually in the $5.00 - $10.00 range). This recognition ceremony has boosted our attendance, as all the learners want to get into the drawing for a gift. It was simple to implement this recognition, and it has paid off well.
