How and why do I provide an Incentive Allowance?
Providing an Incentive Allowance is a great way to incentivize a child to exceed their Expected Goal Grade. Every time the child gets an AlphaGrade that is higher than the Expected Goal Grade, they automatically earn the Incentive Allowance. Once a child gets into the habit of this higher achievement, they will not be happy with themselves when they underperform and in the process make life much easier for the parent / guardian.

To setup Incentive Allowance:
On the Dashboard page, click on the 'Edit / View Summary' link. It is placed within the child's information display area. This will take you to the child's 'Summary' page.

  • Click on the 'Allowance' tab
  • Enter the Incentive Allowance in Row C

top

How and why do I provide an Allowance Penalty?
Allowance Penalty is the opposite of earning an Incentive Allowance. Every time the child gets an AlphaGrade that is lower than the Expected Goal Grade, they automatically incur an Allowance Penalty. When a child incurs an Allowance Penalty, they feel it in their wallet and will make sure that they do not repeat a situation that will cost them.

To setup Allowance Penalty:
On the Dashboard page, click on the 'Edit / View Summary' link. It is placed within the child's information display area. This will take you to the child's 'Summary' page.

  • Click on the 'Allowance' tab
  • Enter the Allowance Penalty in Row D
