After my students observed what successful learners do and say in a mathematics classroom, I observed a marked level of commitment and focus from almost all learners.
Successful learners knew that they were being observed, so they stepped up their commitment and focus which encouraged others to emulate. The bar had now been raised.
At the end of the school day, I sent thank you e-mails to a few individuals who had made a concerted effort to minimise their sometimes disruptive/disengaged behaviour for more successful ones.
Wish us well in our quest for success in maths.
“Explicitly model concise and consistent language so that learning is maximised.” My learning environment is about maximising learners potential through the use of: mastery (move forward at one's own pace as they master knowledge/skills), vicarious experiences (gain self-confidence while watching others successfully performing), social persuasion (intentional encouragement to adopt an attitude of success and emotional intelligence (ability to control one’s emotions and that of others).
