I like the different techniques of how to address various student behaviors.
I have a problem with students talking and just today I said, 'You can have two more minutes of this break and then we will continue.' It worked; they all became quiet and listened after about two minutes.
I really learned from the tips on how to handle and class that is rowdy or starting to get out of control. I mainly teach lab classes so I don't have too many issues, but I like the idea of starting each class with a fun activity to encourage to students to be on time to class.
Enforcing a positive environment in the classroom helps to motivate the students to become engage and embrace the learning environment.
To use positive words instead of negative. To calm students down positively. Also to engage the students In their own learning.
I learned how to phrase things in a more positive and encouraging way.
I have learned ways to be more positive towards my learners. I also like the technique of have an object that is funny to pass around to try to get rid of negativity.
I learned how to effectively handle different situations where students act negative towards themselves. I also learned how as educators we are responsible for creating a fun and knowledgeable environment that students can learn and thrive in.
It’s safe to say that the choice of words can make a big difference in interpretation I’ve learned to choose what i say to avoid misinterpretation
I learned techniques for dealing with an unruly class and how to turn a negative into a positive.
Have students hold up a pencil to ask a question to give them time to think about it first.
remain positive. I like the idea of writing questions on paper to allow the intravert students to get their question out
Being positive and encouraging with our student can really help them succeed.
I learned that I need to be a learner when teaching, not to think I have to have all the answers but can allow others to give their input. Being positive with my words. I liked the ideas about if someone has a question or needs a break and lastly, love the negasauras to nip negativity in the bud
Didn't realize how my words could negatively impact the learning environment. Got good strategies to use for different types of students.
Positivity and enthusiasm for what you are teaching makes the learning environment more exciting.
I learned great ways to engage all of the students into participation. I will implement anonymous questions and more group activities.
A good reminder that using positive and encouraging words and phrasing makes a huge difference for the learners.
Words matter, using the correct verbiage for the correct intention is key.
Comment on Michelle Paul's post: It can be challenging dealing with rowdy students. I will utilize the tools in this section and replace negitive words with positive ones. Also, I will not challenge individual students and speak to them individually without other students being present.
