Teacher Talk That Matters (Quick Reference Guide)

What teachers say to students—and how they say it—affects student learning and behavior. Language sets the tone for learning. Teachers use it to foster a positive culture and climate in school, manage students, and teach discipline.

Mike Anderson, author of the best-selling What We Say and How We Say It Matter, offers advice to help teachers get started with building better language habits to support these three key areas:

* Positive culture and climate.
* Effective management and discipline.
* Strong academic engagement.

This guide's strategies, examples, and action planning guide will help teachers make sure that their language is aligned with their best intentions and positive goals for students.
