Positive words can make a big impact on student learning.
I have learned "know it all" students need an opportunity to be right. Challenging them only makes it worse! I had no idea!
Comment on Michelle Paul's post: It can be challenging dealing with rowdy students. I will utilize the tools in this section and replace negitive words with positive ones. Also, I will not challenge individual students and speak to them individually without other students being present.
