Want to unlock a major student motivation cheat code? Start using Behavior-Specific Praise (BSP)! 🔑
Generic praise tells students you're happy. Specific praise tells them why and motivates them to repeat that success.
💡 The Formula in Action:
❌ Generic: "Good job, Sarah!"
✅ Behavior-Specific: "Sarah, thank you for raising your hand and waiting to be called on. That showed great respect for your classmates."
By naming the exact positive behavior, you build confidence and give the rest of the class a clear roadmap to follow.
