- Rewards
"If you come to view yourself as working to get something, you may no longer
find that activity worth doing in its own right."-Dale Carnegie
- 1. Reward the behavior that you desire.
2. If a task is something to get through just to get a reward students/people
will feel less creative, enthusiastic and motivated.
3. Students will see themselves as being controlled by the behavior.

- "Her father paid her a hundred dollars for every A on her report card, which
perhaps undermined any inherent joy in learning for learning's sake."-Po
Bronson
- Example:
Don't say, "If you get an A on your test I will give you a sticker."
Do say, "You did great on your test, that was a big improvement, here's a
sticker."
- Praise
Be sincere. The latest research shows that constant praise doesn't have such
a good effect as previously thought. Basically you want to cut out the "you're
so smart" and "your such a good ___" and what you want to focus on is effort

versus intelligence or ability.
- "Praising children's intelligence harms their motivation and it harms their
performance."-Carol S. Dweck, PH.D
- "Praise should deal, not with the child's personality attributes, but with his
efforts and achievements." -Haim Ginott
- Give praise only to specific behaviors. Avoid labels and be honest.

- Positive reinforcement
Focus on positive behavior not the negative. E.g. Redirect the students
attention. If you're giving attention or praise to students when they do
something positive, your likely to shift a few troublesome students over
because they will crave attention. Now the opposite scenario is also true. If
your attention in the classroom is focused on a few troublesome students and
if it consistently remains there, sometimes a few of your "good" students may
become troublesome just to attract your attention.
- Peer pressure
Once you have made clear your expectations and rules for the classroom.

Your students will help you enforce them. For example: if someone speaks...
say Korean and you didn't hear it the other kids will often rat them out. If
someone has misbehaved repeatedly you can subtract points or privileges
from the team. Then the team or group will be doing the work on the student
for you.
- Proximity
Students who talk a lot, are misbehaving, or are not paying attention can
usually be controlled using proximity. Remain relaxed and get closer to them,
