Students need to believe that reward comes from effort. Too often, we fall into a slump of believing that success or failure is outside of our control. We blame other things, like that our tools were broken or our teacher doesn’t like us. Instead, we should be reinforcing to our students on a daily basis that they are capable of success if they put...
We all see overenthusiastic fathers running up and down the side line yelling at their sons every Saturday morning. I often wonder if those fathers will ever be satisfied unless their son is an Olympic gold medallist. High expectations aren’t about insisting someone is the best at anything. They are entirely about insisting someone tries their best...
When a student comes to you with completed work that is below what you expect of them, don’t accept it. I had a teacher when I was in school who had the highest expectations for neatness in bookwork.

Instead, students should be coming to class daily knowing and expecting that they will be stretching their minds. By consistently creating tasks that are difficult but achievable, you are setting a culture of hard work in your...
When students complete work that is below your expectations of them, be aware that there may be some issues going on in their lives. Just a few reasons students present poor quality work are: 1. The student hasn’t had breakfast today.This will often lead to tiredness, fatigue and low effort. 2. The student is sitting near students who are distracti...
Above, I talked about students who start to think trying hard is uncool. One important way of counteracting this mentality is to role model hard work. Being a role model could include: 1. Completing tasks with students and showing them you’re putting in a lot of effort; 2. Showing students pictures of you working toward goals in your personal life,...
Too often, we praise just about any behavior because we want to pass on positivity and enthusiasm to our students. That’s not a great teaching strategyif you want to get the best out of your students. Consider these possibilities: 1. Praise loses its power over time:If you praise students too much, the students will stop taking your praise seriousl...
Sometimes students simply don’t know what you expect of them. That’s why you should model expectations when setting a task at hand. Education Hub (2018) argues that educators shouldn’t simply show how a task is done. Instead, show your students what the outcomes should look like. This will help you move away from a minimum standards approach and to...
Rewards and punishments can be effective in short-term contexts. However, a classroom management strategy based on rewards and punishmentsteaches students that schoolwork is a transactional arrangement: work hard, get a present. Instead, schoolwork should be seen as a long-term personal development arrangement. Therefore, your focus should be on pr...
Having high expectations for students’ behaviour offers them hope of success, shows they are cared for, and supports achievement for all (Bennett, 2020; McDonald, 2019). When teachers hold high expectations for students, it can lead to increased effort from the students (Goss et al., 2017).

Dec 23, 2020 · Classic research on belonging suggests that telling students you have high expectations of them and that you believe in their potential to meet those expectations has a positive impact.
