Perfect Phrases to Further Encourage Students

The home life of some students may not be desirable, and sometimes going to school is the child’s safe haven for the day. It is important that, as the teacher, you strive to give students a positive experience in your classroom. At times, you don’t have to say anything—all you have to do is offer a warm smile or a bended ear.

This section concerns the words that go along with those nonverbal cues. We are all human, and we like to hear the positives more than the negatives. Here are suggested phrases to further encourage students in your classroom:
