"Trying extrinsic rewards to learning- such as giving high grades for doing well on a test or rewarding children for getting good grades- tends to backfire. Students tend to lose their motivation to engage in that activity once the reward is no longer offered. Montessori cultivates children's self-motivation; our assessment approaches are holistic, and students don't compete against each other for grades".
