"Future Perfect" and the Classroom

Johnson suggests that rewarding teachers would work better if instead of rewarding individuals we were to reward whole schools so that everyone in the school would be motivated to help others achieve. How could this method be used in the classroom itself with students?  How could we motivate an entire classroom to help each other so that all the students could increase their performance? It would be difficult because you would have students doing work for other students instead of helping the student learn to do the work him/herself. But somehow could you increase in the classroom a sense of the community doing better. Such a goal is better for everyone in the classroom.

In group work, you could give extra points if the whole group reached a goal, but you would have to have some way of measuring that even the lowest performer had learned something.

For assignments done in class, students could ask other students for help and if a certain number of students increased their performance the whole class would get extra points. Or their could be assignment groups that would be rewarded extra points. Have all students work on an RI (reading for ideas worksheet) in class in a small learning group and then finish at home. Groups where all students got a 70% or more would receive 5 points extra credit, groups where all students got a 80% of more would receive 7 points. Groups would have to reflect a mixture of poor and good students for this small learning group.
