Opportunity/Option

Benefit/Obstacle

Right away I started greeting my students at the door every day. I've also been working at changing my language to encouragement instead of praise. I hadn't realized how much `praise' I'd been using. The "Good Job!" is fast disappearing. I've begun to redirect with quotes rather than my standard "Come on, you need to get back to work." They've even begun to finish the quote, "The right angle to approach a difficult problem is the TRY-angle." when I start to say it. I'm also using a triangle hand sign to nonverbally convey the encouragement. The strategies from the hand and verbal skills sheet are helping to create new positive procedures and responses. Next come working on feedback.

This required making sure I had everything ready ahead of time and so there was extra effort before or after school. What I'm finding is that I'm able to `read' them as they come in and am discovering that just the few words shared is building a different relationship. That along with walking around the room during class has been huge already. Those students that I know often have trouble, I'm able to give encouragement and the rephrasing is changing the students' responses. - Amazing really and I'm having fun seeing it happen. These are such simple changes in themselves, however, I'm slowly seeing significant results in my attitude as well as my students. I find I have to be very intentional in what I say trying to change old habits.
