  Case: Change in Vocabulary
Mr. Sams is a math teacher who is enthusiastic about math. He works with kids who haven't had a good experience with the subject. Most of the students blurt out comments like "I hate math", "Math is unnecessary", "I don't understand anything", etc. He is working hard to make students change their phrases to more positive statements. It worked for some weeks but students are falling back to their old vocabulary. Mr. Sams is looking for strategies to keep students engaged with the positive phrases. What could he do to make students fall back on the positive track?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think a good idea for Mr. Sams would be to show a statistical list of improvement of scores. I am sure that Mr. Sams gave his students an assessment at the beginning of the year to see where they stood. He sounds like a fantastic math teacher. I am sure his student's have improved individually. He can show them in an individual format, but he can also do an anonymous format presentation here and there that shows how awesome they are doing and reiterate how proud he is of their progress.

Comments: I don't know if this solution would engage the students into doing better, maybe if he did this but also has some sort of reward system in place for when they improve.
