These strategies will help the students improve their academic performance in the class room as following:
1. Make Learning Relevant
Students are more engaged in learning and retain knowledge better when they see that it is relevant and vital to their own success and happiness.
2. Create a Classroom Code of Conduct
A positive and productive classroom requires a common understanding of positive and negative behaviors. To establish this understanding, teachers ask students to identify the ways they like to be treated. This discussion elicits lists of behaviors that are respectful, fair, kind, and empathetic. Together, teacher and students conclude that treating others the way you want to be treated is the best code of conduct, and they agree that this code will dictate the behaviors that are appropriate for their classroom.
3. Teach Positive Actions
We need to teach students positive behaviors in a thorough, consistent, systematic way; we cannot assume that students just know them. The Positive Action curriculum covers the following concepts.
- The importance of doing positive actions to feel good about yourself.
- Positive actions for a healthy body (such as nutrition, exercise, and sleep).
- Positive actions for the intellect (such as thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving skills).
- Positive actions for self-management (such as managing time, energy, emotions, and other personal resources).
- Positive actions for getting along with others (such as treating others fairly, kindly, and respectfully).
- Positive actions for being honest with yourself and others (such as taking responsibility, admitting mistakes, and not blaming others).
- Positive actions for improving yourself continually (such as setting and achieving goals).
4. Instill Intrinsic Motivation
The program explains a three-step process for choosing positive actions: First, we have a thought; second, we act consistently with the thought; third, we experience a feeling about ourselves based on the action. That feeling leads to another thought, and the cycle starts again. With practice, students learn that if they have a negative thought, they can change it to a positive one that will lead to a positive action and a positive feeling about themselves.
5. Reinforce Positive Behaviors
Recognition activities and items—such as tokens, stickers, and certificates—can be effective. But when teachers or other staff use this strategy, it's important that they recognize the positive behavior, ask how it made the student feel, and tell the student the extrinsic reward is a reminder of that good feeling.
6. Engage Positive Role Models
Educators can integrate them into many classroom and school activities, such as curriculum activities, assemblies, committees, after-school events, and homework.
7. Always Be Positive
Perhaps the most important strategy, yet often the most difficult to carry out, is to be positive—from classrooms to playgrounds, during school and after. There is always a positive way to respond to a situation. A positive attitude is the change agent that will create positive classrooms and schools that produce happy and successful students.
I hope that these stategies will be beneficial for you all.
