Specific Praise - Behavior

What is the "Specific Praise" instructional strategy?

With "Specific Praise", the teacher delivers specific feedback regarding observed student success, informing the student exactly what was done correctly and praising success.  Specific praise should be faded as student success maintains.  This helps the student to discriminate correct versus incorrect responses and understand how to continue with success.

What are the "Behavior" instructional focus videos?

The Behavior videos focus on the application of the entire range of Primary Level strategies in the context of teaching expected behavior.  The videos represent a cross section of student ages, abilities, and group sizes.
