How can I get the students to listen to me while I am trying to give instructions? Is there any type of incentive to give the students if they listen? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) A good incentive I would recommend giving them when they do listen is positive reinforcement. This can range anywhere from telling them they’re doing good at listening to a reward such as a piece of candy.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think students should have to earn these amenities, not be rewarded with them. Docking points for participation or giving punishments like lunch detentions might light a fire under your students. Rewards like candy will only encourage the students to get quiet for the reward, not to pay attention to the class. Rated On: October 30, 2023 4:52 pm Rated By: Ethan Page
