\n\"\"Positive phrasing is praising students who are demonstrating pro social skills. It is helpful when some students are having a hard time staying on task so they can see what they should be doing.<\/p>\n

Positive phrasing is a very helpful tool and can correct behavior without being disruptive to the classroom. You can use this tool by acknowledging students who are demonstrating pro social or on-task behaviors, so that students who are not demonstrating these behaviors can see that these are good and they should do them too. An example of positive phrasing is if a student is not cleaning while everyone else is, you could praise other students \u201cThank you all so much for cleaning this room up! You are doing such a great job!\u201d This tool is great to get students on task and ready to learn!<\/p>\n

\"\"I placed this tool in the corrective phase because it can be used to correct undesired behaviors in the classroom. This tool can also be used in the preventative phase. You can use this tool to encourage positive behavior displayed by some students so that others quickly follow, preventing undesired behaviors. I believe this tool fits with all three theories of influence and can be used with any. It is about having a positive attitude in the classroom and focusing on the positive things happening, so I think any teacher can implement it in their classroom.<\/p>\n
