A Coaching Approach to Education

Use positive language - expand your reward vocabulary

21/3/2016

 
Well done - or?

Like other teachers you may well have favourite and often over-used ‘Reward Phrases’, things you say when your students exhibit desirable behaviour.
​
Do you use phrases like “Well done”, “Good”, “Nice work”, or “Correct”?
​
I invite you to be more adventurous and write down what YOU would like someone to say about YOUR best work.
​
You could involve your teacher colleagues and get even more phrases, so that each of you has a broader and more exciting vocabulary to choose from. Ask your colleagues “What are your favourite Reward Phrases? Do you use just a few, are you wearing them out, and do you need some more? Can we take the time now to pick out some new ones to use in the coming weeks?”
