To use positive words instead of negative.  To calm students down positively.  Also to engage the students In their own learning. 

Enforcing a positive environment in the classroom helps to motivate the students to become engage and embrace the learning environment.  

I really learned from the tips on how to handle and class that is rowdy or starting to get out of control. I mainly teach lab classes so I don't have too many issues, but I like the idea of starting each class with a fun activity to encourage to students to be on time to class.

I have a problem with students talking and just today I said, 'You can have two more minutes of this break and then we will continue.' It worked; they all became quiet and listened after about two minutes.

I like the different techniques of how to address various student behaviors.

Have a positive outlook and use positive language.

if we gain the students attention and redirect their focus through different and unorthodox methods, it makes it possible to keep the student on their toes and paying attention.

Meet students where they are at, but still having structure. Giving talkative students a chance to talk in an appropriate setting, or quiet students a way to still voice their mind without having to speak it in front of everyone. 

Using positive language can make all the difference for students.  It's like manifestation - if you start off by throwing out a negative association with something, you're going to attract a negative outcome.  

Positive reinforcement through effective communication and classroom management.

I learned to avoid certain words that bring about negativity for the learners but instead use positive words that will help to create a more positive environment for learning.

As an instructor, you must always be open to learning new things. Whether it's new subject matter or the way you present your material.

I feel this will help with the way i will address the class. What to say and what not to say

How just simply changing how you word things could create a completely different learning environment.

I really appreciated the SAT method, especially the information about the word "because" and it's effectiveness in motivating others.

Word choice is extremely important when interacting with students. I also learned the strategies for dealing with difficult students helpful. 

Positive Mindset encourages Positive Growth.

I learned the importance of using positive words in the classroom.

If the classroom turns chaotic, the SAT method can be used.

turn the negative into a positive. when students want something, let them have it for as long as it doesn't take away from the class. for example, if someone challenges you, let them and if you are wrong, admit it and be gracious about it.
