Praising Students
Like all of us, students respond well to praise. Consider these guidelines when using praise.
- Praise effort and appropriate behavior as well as achievement.
- Don’t overdo your use of praise. If you praise just about everything, students will simply tune it out.
- Vary the words and terms you use. Just as for anything else, students will become bored hearing the same old thing.
- That’s perfect
