What about Grades?
21
Motivation is Key!

• Inspiring students to want to learn is an
  essential component of any SuccessMaker
  implementation.

22
Words to Ponder

• No system can be expected to realize full
  potential until and unless it is fully and
  properly implemented. Using an under-implemented
  ILS will have as little effect on transforming
  the classroom as taking a fraction of a
  prescription drug dosage will have on curing an
  ailing patient.
• Van Dusen, 1995
