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!)
It appears to me that Mr. Sams set an agreement previously with the class about positive statements. I would display on the list of classroom rules, something like, "Have a positive attitude" that Mr. Sams could address to the class when he hears such comments. If a particular student continues to make such comments, I would create a time to discuss with the student individually the difficulties they are having with the coursework. I would also try to use more manipulatives to address various learning styles.

Comments: I don't know if this is enough to engage the students. If he has been trying to do this for months then I hope that that is something he has tried already. I would do this at the start of trying to change their attitudes. |

Comments: Having an individual conversation with the student could be helpful. I also agree it is important to use different tools in math to address different learning needs. |
