Reinforcing Effort & Providing Recognition

and Guided Practice

By: Chessa Chrisman and Palmer Flahive


“When educating the
minds of our youth, we
must not forget to
educate their hearts.”
~ Dalai Lama
Reinforcing Effort & Providing Recognition

● Reinforcing Effort: enhances students' understanding of the relationship


between effort and achievement by addressing their attitudes and beliefs
about learning.
○ Teachers must understand the relationship between effort and
achievement and expose students to the connection between the two.
● Providing Recognition: more successful than just giving rewards and usually
the student is a lot more inclined to do their work.
○ Enhances intrinsic motivation
Importance
Importance of Reinforcing Effort

● Emphasize importance of effort for


success.
● Effort → Achievement = increase in
achievement

Importance of Positive Recognition

● Rewards acknowledge success


● Students feel more confident
Ways to incorporate in the classroom

● Reinforcing Effort:
○ Have students keep a weekly log of their efforts
○ Share stories about people who succeed by not giving up
● Providing Recognition
○ Recognition board
Guided Practice

● Guided practice is showing and releasing the students


to do the task or standard at hand. This is an
especially important strategy when it comes to math
lessons but overall important to all subjects.
Is Homework Guided Practice?

● Often new teachers mistake guided practice as


independent practice. However, guided practice is NOT
considered to be independent practice, therefore,
homework is not a part of guided practice.
What is the difference between guided & independent
practice?

● Guided practice is the “we do” part of the lesson. The teacher guides
students through practice activities. Independent practice is the “I
do” part of the lesson where students are expected to practice on
their own. Many practice activities can be used for guided or
independent practice. The list below does not differentiate between
guided and independent because most can be used for either.
Examples of Guided Practice

● On a piece of paper, students will draw a picture of plants or possibly


animals, incorporating characteristics they learned about in this lesson
(listed on board).
● Students complete a book review that corresponds to what they are
reading.
● Students will split into pairs to work together on drawing or a
project based on the knowledge previously acquired.
