1. Overlearning

Additional practice to reinforce what has already been learned and proven to be successful.

Teachers must make an effort to regularly review and provide overlearning.

Additional practice can also be administered by any individual who regularly works with the student.
2. Ongoing Assessment Strategies

Carefully monitor comprehension of lessons through frequent questioning.

Supervise guided practice activities so students are only taking on activities they fully understand.

Allow students to work independently when you are confident they can succeed.

In the event independent practice is not successful, revert back to guided practice or review the lesson concepts using different methodology.

If carefully structured this strategy will teach students to expect success in their classroom.

Appropriate Social Models

Students are more likely to succeed at a task if they observe peers like themselves first.

It is important to point out appropriate social models & assure the students they can do what the social models have done.

Positive Support
Positive affirmations that encourage students will help them learn that you believe in them - “I really believe you will be able to do__ if you give it a try!”  This statement also helps demonstrate that success is possible

Motivation is the level at which students want to succeed in school while affect is students emotional state and their personal feelings. There are different types of motivations, "Intrinsic motivation refers to participation in an activity purely out of curiosity, desire to succeed, or desire to contribute. Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, refers to participation of an external reward" (M, 221). Empowering our students with positive motivation and being aware of their "affect" in the classroom will allow students to master their the tasks and objectives put in front of them.
