What Works
Carefully planned and executed, step-by-step instructions.
What Doesn't Work
Assuming your kids know what you're talking about and that they have the knowledge and sense to figure something out instinctively as you go along with a lesson.
What Works
Giving specific praise for specific acts of behavior you see your students doing.
What Doesn't Work
Saying "good job" or another generic compliment that will eventually sound insincere to a student.
What Works
Taking the time to notice and praise the things a student does right and give constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement.
What Doesn't Work
Nagging a child about their weaknesses. Children aren't encouraged by negative forms of criticism that embarrass or tear down.
What Works
Taking the time to give a kid extra help, even if your busy.
What Doesn't Work
Repeatedly putting off remediation and hoping the kid will pick up the skills he needs through Osmosis. Instruction and guidance must be intentional. You don't get in shape by skipping workouts and your children won't perform unless they are properly nurtured and trained.
