Do you use a reward system for the older students and Unit Assessments (UAs)?
It is suggested that a secondary reward system be used in every lesson. This includes all classes, even UAs, whether the student is younger or older. When in doubt-- use one! The only exceptions to this are Level 7 and 8. These levels do not require or have the expectation of a secondary reward system. Please refer to the Support tab in your VIPKid portal for more information.
What lighting, webcam, and headset do you recommend?
There are many options that teachers have recommended. Please search the group for "webcam", "lighting" or "headset". If you do not find an answer to your question, please join a group such as VIPKID Education or VIPKID Community.
