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.
I have learned "know it all" students need an opportunity to be right. Challenging them only makes it worse! I had no idea!
Positive words can make a big impact on student learning.
Make the environment positive, ALWAYS. Negativity is not allowed. I really like Negasaurus!
Didn't know about the SAT method, this looks like something I can apply right now.
Having a positive mindset and using positive words can make a huge difference in the mindset of your students.
I learned various ways to address different student behaviors by altering word choice.
How you speak will determine how the class reacts.
I have learned there are different ways to ensure students are being engaged in the learning process.
Always be positive and use positive words.
Practice being positive in your action and speech!
The talking stick can be a very effective way of engaging your class, it can set a tone for how stepping up to answer questions can be held. I used this technique, but with a basketball.
Words speak volumes. Especially to students! So be mindful of what you say and how you say it in the classroom.
Comment on Dr Enrique R Mendez, DDS, CDA's post:
This session was indeed a great tool for me regarding how to resopnd to certain behavior of students.
The positive environment is much better for learning, than a negative environment. Teachers watching what words we say and the emotions we show help to set the tone for learning in our classrooms.
Delivering the appropriate amount of knowledge in a suitable format along with using positive words instead of words that may have an underlying negative connotation.
