Children may feel pressure from not only their teacher, but peers alike when called on to participate in the classroom. If a teacher rushes a student out of frustration, speaks in an unfriendly tone, or uses sarcastic remarks, theses can all be damaging to a student's ego and have long term negative effects. A student who may have great information to add to a discussion, may feel overwhelmed under pressure and be not be able to produce the information or verbally explain themselves. The student may begin a habit of self doubt, and low confidence and self esteem in group activities and discussions. This can lead to a  student withdrawing from partcipating or even giving up on learning. Teachers must constantly be aware of their own behavior and classroom activity and be sure it facilitates a positive, productive learning environment.]]> 2016-10-03 03:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeannlewis/somqgvwaebyc/wish/127772663 brookeannlewis https://padlet.com/brookeannlewis/somqgvwaebyc/wish/127773001 Teachers should use a comfortable classroom pace and create an environment that is welcoming to all children. Teachers must also be sure to set high expectations from all students. When working on group discussion or classroom activities, allow children time to reflect and think. If a teacher accepts an "I don't know" from a student, other students will belive  this is an acceptable level or performance for them as well. Children who can not produce verbal answers right away, or give an "I don't know" response, may need more time to reflect. In this case, you could ask them to think on it some more and raise their hand when they are ready for you to get back to them. In situations such as testing, children may feel pressure to preform as well. Some students who seem to be failing and not know material, may just need more time, and a less pressured environment to take the test in. Over all, students will perform better if they feel comfortable and capable, and it's is the teacher's responsibility to provide an environment where this is possible. ]]> 2016-10-03 03:11:37 UTC https://padlet.com/brookeannlewis/somqgvwaebyc/wish/127773001
