30. Importance of using praise in the classroom. Characteristics of having good teacher-student realationships in the classroom.
Praise in the Classroom
Using behavior specific praise (BSP) in the classroom can have many positive effects
on the students and classroom management. BSP is when the teacher praises the student
for the exact behavior that the student is exhibiting. For example, the student might
normally have trouble staying in his seat and that would cause disruption in the
classroom.
Good teacher-student relationships
Some characteristics of having good teacher-student relationships in the classroom
involves the appropriate levels of dominance, cooperation, professionalism, and
awareness of high-needs students. Dominance is defined as the teacher's ability to give
clear purpose and guidance concerning student behavior and their academics.
31. What do you know about preventive techniques in managing a classroom?
Preventive techniques
Preventive approaches to classroom management involve creating a positive classroom
community with mutual respect between teacher and student. Preventive techniques involve the strategic use of praise and rewards to inform students about their behavior rather than as a means of controlling student behavior. To use rewards to inform students about their behavior, teachers must emphasize the value
of the behavior that is rewarded and also explain to students the specific skills they
demonstrated to earn the reward. Teachers should also encourage student collaboration
in selecting rewards and defining appropriate behaviors that earn rewards. This form of
praise and positive reinforcement is very effective in helping students understand
expectations and builds a student's self-concept.
