This document discusses strategies for implementing a Renaissance program in schools to recognize and reward students and teachers. It proposes using tangible rewards, public recognition, and consistent motivation to transform the school culture from one focused only on top students to one that inspires all. Specific ideas are presented for motivating students through committees, celebrations, and visibility, and for motivating teachers through appreciation events, awards, and professional development opportunities. The goal is to create positive change through an engaging and inclusive approach.
