Guidelines for Praise pg. 110 Effective Praise Suggest clear attention to the accomplishment Provides information to students about their competence or the value of their accomplishment Attributes success to effort and ability, implying that similar successes can be expected in the future. Ineffective Praise Delivered randomly or unsystematically Rewards mere participation, without consideration of performance processes or outcomes. Attributes success to ability alone or to external factors such as luck or easy task

13. Teaching Toolbox Define Effort and give examples Use the term “effort” often. (Per class, per week at least twice one week and from there every other week) From massed to distributed. Decide what behaviors you will reward and describe some examples to you your students.
