What You Say Matters
July 25, 2011
Our species has demonstrated that we can walk on the moon if we put our minds to it. Now let’s turn to an even more crucial task, the creation of an earth full of people who are celebrating each other in conscious love.

"When teachers have a verbal interaction style that is negative or inappropriate, they often need help hearing themselves in action. Try putting an audio tape player on record, setting it on a shelf or table, and recording the verbal interactions that do occur near the tape recorder. Let the teacher listen to the tape to see what she hears, then listen to it together to see if the teacher's perception of what she hears and your perception are the same. Use the tape as a springboard to identify specific areas that need attention as well as those which indicate verbal interaction skills are already in place."

I agree that language and the words we use with children and families is paramount to relationships and development. The Classroom Assessment Scoring System™ (CLASS™) is an observational tool, which can be used in conjunction with video taped snapshots of classroom interactions. Positive feedback is then used to encourage positive interactions including language. I am fond of this model because the tool and video is used to reinforce POSITIVE or desired behaviors. It uses a strength based mentor/mentee model to paralell process teacher/child interactions.
