Students Are Confident, Engaged Learners and Have Appropriate Behaviour

Students are Confident, Engaged Learners and have Appropriate Behaviour

When praise singles out effort and work-products, students can see a direct link between the effort that they invest in a task and improved academic or behavioural performance. Providing praise that focuses on what students can control shows them that hard work pays off.  

How it works:  

• The teacher explains the positive learning behaviours required for academic success to motivate students engaged with their learning.  
• When students know what behaviours the teacher will accept, boundaries are clearly set. Students are aware of the expectations and are more likely to behave appropriately. Students can focus on their learning and be confident learners. 
• Teachers who set goals for lesson progression motivate students to focus on learning and engage in all parts of the lesson. Students are motivated by setting and achieving goals and experiencing success, making learning fun.
