Positive Interactions In Your Classroom

You may use an observation from your own classroom, one you visit, or this video (ensure you observe children 8 years old or younger).

If your own classroom:

Make a list of the children (or first initial) in your class. Check by their name whenever you have a positive interaction with them throughout the day/time.

If visiting a center or using the video, how often do you see positive interactions between the teacher and children? How many children did you see receive a direct positive interaction and potentially how often?

What did you notice? What are some changes that could improve?

What are some strategies to increase positive interactions among teachers and children?
