The tone of my voice makes a difference with my students and I need to remember to not be to soft or to harsh

Being aware of my body language is most important because it is 54% of communication to my students. Using a supportive stance with unfolded arms, hands out of my pockets, and a facial expression. I will show them that I'm open and willing to work with them. And also using a calm, controlled, and firm voice to accentuate my positive body language. Is most important to me to create a positive connection with my students.

# data[].attributes.body
I will be more mindful about including personal touches when giving feedback on assignments. I want them to feel comfortable asking for help.

I will try and always remember to be aware of my tone especially when a student is not following directions or yelling. It is important that I stay calm and have a soft calming tone with a smile or neutral but not frown. Sometimes I don’t look straight at the student I am communicating with which causes confusion. I will work on looking at the student with a smile .

I will try to do a better job of recognizing students who are complying with the rule in or for them to have a better and secure learning experience and encourage other students to do the same.

# data[].attributes.body
I need to work on acknowledging compliance. I don’t have a problem with telling or letting a student know when they are doing a good job of getting their answers correct, but I don’t do a good job of acknowledging when students are doing a good job of following expectations.

# data[].attributes.body
We reap what we sow. If we display negative feelings and ideas then, we will get the same in return. Stating or setting the example that will foster a positive upbeat classroom environment by using an even, non threatening tone. In addition to a calm demeanor, we wait patiently and give time for the student to respond to the expectation to allow them to feel that they are in a safe space. These things shape the culture within the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Will make request brief, descriptive and objective.

# data[].attributes.body
I will give my students time to comply the directions, understand they can not comply right after directions are given , so I will give them some seconds to process the information and act

# data[].attributes.body
In our class body language and tone are very important to our students. Special distancing also is when we try and talk with our students, some we can be close to and some we know. We have to have space. What is in a need in our class in compliance. Explaining simply what we want and redirecting if needed. It is ok to hear the words that you don’t want like: wait, in _#_ minutes, and sharing is a big one. Using calm tones help with sharing tools or taking turns on tasks.

# data[].attributes.body
As I work with each student, I give clear and concise instructions that they can understand. Once each student completes a task, I reward them with a “thumbs up”. Sometimes, I give them stickers as a reward for each task completed. This has been effective as an incentive to participate and complete assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
I will be more aware of my facial expressions so they don't come off in a negative way.

# data[].attributes.body
I will focus on keeping my facial expressions kind and neutral. Often when a student is giving a long winded explanation of why something wasn't done and I am fairly certain that they aren't being honest I have to remind myself to make sure my face is kind and neutral, this helps keep them from being defensive when I talk about expectations.

i need to not invade the student’s personal space

# data[].attributes.body
Instead of not acknowledging a child for the good work that they do, offer a smile or thumbs up for even just attempting the work. Positive affirmations physical or talking will allow the child to believe they will be supported even if they do the work wrong. If they struggle with work offer them assistance instead of getting angry at them. Let them know they can do it even if they need a little help.

# data[].attributes.body
Instead of always telling students what not to do, challenge yourself to guide and correct them with what behaviors you want to see. Celebrate the good, acknowledge the bad, and reiterate with your desires.

I am naturally a soft spoken person and can be considered aloof at times. When I do need to get a point across I tend to come across as harsh.

Vocalizing is not the only way that tone is expressed; our voice continues to have influence even in the absence of our physical presence.

I will practice using more "Start" directions in order for the communication to go in a more positive direction.

# data[].attributes.body
When I read use more start not stop redirections that really hit me. I do say stop all the time during class. This has made me think about instead of saying stop (insert action) I will change my response to (start during (whatever the expectation is). I'm going to have this sit in the back of my head this year and start re-directing with start!

Offer them a break once the assignment is completed.
