Specific Praise - Individual Instruction

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 "Individual Instruction" context videos?

The Individual Instruction videos include both group and 1:1 instructional settings, but the focus is on the application of the entire range of Primary Level strategies with individual students.  The videos represent a cross section of instructional focus, student ages, and student abilities.

The following is a list of all of the Primary Level training videos  involving the "Specific Praise" instructional strategy within an Individual Instruction context that are available for viewing.
