Recommended: Importance of feedback in the classroom

There are many effective strategies that educators implement to provide positive feedback to the students in the classroom. As an educator, I have an infinite number of responsibilities in the classroom that I have to complete every day; for this reason, I am guilty of not providing enough positive feedback to my students so they can become better learners and reflect on their own progress. According to McCoy (2013), self-reflection provides opportunity for students to think about their own thinking and their own progress. One of the strategies that I have used in my classroom is providing feedback in a way that is educative in nature. For instance, when a student is doing an assignment, I praise him or her for doing a great job and focus more …show more content…

I am planning to continue implementing all the new transition strategies provided in this course as well as keep providing effective feedback to all my students in the classroom. For instance, I am planning to utilize the notebook to provide feedback and track student progress as well as give exams and quizzes back to the students with positive comments and wait to see if they have any questions (Reynolds, 2013). These two strategies will help and motivate my students to establish a positive relationship. I would also want to improve implementing more programs to motivate my students using technology in my classroom. One of the programs that I will definitely implement is the GoNoodle because is an effective tool to use as a behavior motivator (GoNoodle, 2016). This effective tool will alleviate many issues with the students. The last strategy that I want to improve is to engage my students in their learning and reinforce positive behavior by providing extrinsic rewards such as prizes, tickets for school games, and assist the teacher of your choice for fifteen minutes. These are great effective strategies that I am planning to utilize this coming year so I can motivate my students to work and learn in my

    Some of the personal stories that Mooney recounted made me very sad, and it was hard to believe that there were and continue to be some teachers that are just so ignorant, impatient, and unaware of what is going on with their student(s). Some great teaching strategies that can be implemented in the classroom to help students be more successful are developing a reward system for good behavior, organizing breaks between major tasks, and using auditory and visual signals. Reward systems is an excellent strategy to implement in the classroom to help students remain on task, participate in class, and behave appropriately. Breaks between major tasks help students to take mental breaks and refocus for the next big assignment. Auditory and visual signals are a great classroom strategy to help students recognize when it is time to move from one activity to the

  • What Is Positive Reinforcement?

    1156 Words  | 3 Pages

    The theory of motivation is seen in both the negative and positive experiences. Reinforcement is an action that follows a specific behaviour, increasing the likelihood of that particular behaviour being repeated in the future (Potgieter, 2013). With regards to positive reinforcement, Thorndike’s Law of Effect proposes that one is more likely to repeat a specific behaviour when it results in something positive (eg: a reward) (Potgieter, 2013). Positive reinforcement consists of two aspects namely; intrinsic and extrinsic rewards (Potgieter, 2013). Intrinsic rewards are derived from an engaging in tasks willingly and attempt to improve their own skills whereas, extrinsic rewards are when a task is undertaken in order to attain a certain outcome (Weiten, pg 285).

    In this paper I will be discussing the information I have learned from the article “From Positive Reinforcement to Positive Behaviors”, by Ellen A. Sigler and Shirley Aamidor. The authors stress the importance of positive reinforcement. The belief is that teachers and adults should be rewarding appropriate behaviors and ignoring the inappropriate ones. The authors’ beliefs are expressed by answering the following questions: Why use positive reinforcement?, Are we judging children’s behaviors?, Why do children behave in a certain way?, Do we teach children what to feel?, Does positive reinforcement really work?, and How does positive reinforcement work?. The following work is a summary of "Positive Reinforcement to Positive Behaviors" with my thoughts and reflection of the work in the end.

    One of the greatest resources was George’s communication journal. Rather than speaking out or distracting the class, he would use his journal to write something down and was able to reflect on his at an appropriate time. George is highly motivated by positive reinforcement. I found that by allowing him to “choose” his reward was extremely effective. He was able to process that by doing his work and following the rules, he would be rewarded. Though George still has behavioral gains to make, this behavioral plan provides him with the ability to achieve academic and behavioral

To be able to do that, I would need to have positive reinforcement to keep me going, help give me that little push that I need every day. One positive reinforcement that I absolutely love to use is food. After a hard day of working out, I buy myself something nice to eat, like good pizza or burritos. This way I become more likely to work out knowing that I will get something doo to eat after. I like to believe that food is my number 1 enforcer.

  • Essay On Teacher Reflection

    This week had the biggest impact on my professional growth. During this week, I learned that meaningful reflection is " the practice or act of analyzing our actions, decisions, or products by focusing on our process of achieving them (York-Barr, Sommers, Ghere & Montie, 2006). There are many benefits of reflecting in the field of education. The most influential is the effect that reflection has on the learning that your students gain. If a teacher meaningfully reflects on their practices they will create lessons to better impact students. According to Carol Ann Tomlinson (2003), “Teacher reflection inevitably attends directly to students ' need for affirmation, contribution, power, purpose, and challenge.” Each time a teacher reflects on their work, they empower their students to learn more. Students recognize their teacher’s reflection and mimic their behavior. I feel like learning about reflection impacted me most because it showed me that I should reflect on the good and the bad. Everything that I teach should be reflected on. The more that I reflect on my work, I will be closer to becoming an expert teacher. Reflection has the biggest impact on professionalism as a teacher. If I am willing to learn from my strengths and mistakes I will impact my students to strive to the best they

  • Reflection On Formative And Summative Assessment

    Feedback is one form of assessment that teachers think will take long, however, if given orally to the students it allows them to correct what they are misunderstanding or doing wrong. Most teachers feel that feedback is meant to be written down but it is not necessary to do so. Oral feedback as well as written feedback can be very effective and beneficial for a student if done correctly. According to Leahy et al (2005), “To be effective, feedback needs to cause thinking. Grades don 't do that. Scores don 't do that. And comments like “Good job” don 't do that either. What does cause thinking is a comment that addresses what the student needs to do to improve…” (p. 22). I felt that this quote was very fitting to what I did in the classroom while walking around and checking up on the students. Instead of saying “good job” or “looks good,” I found myself watching bits and pieces of several
