Create a Team Leaderboard to Motivate and Recognize Students
|
|
|
|
Seeing the top earners can instill team pride in students and motivate them! You could track this annually for your current team, or capture the history of your school.
To get your list, log in to your NSDA Account, visit the Student Roster, select the Options icon, check the box for Show Graduated/Past Students, export the CSV, and sort by points.
Note that for teams that were around pre-digital records in 2001, information may not be perfect.
