Document Summary
Stimulate interest: relate it to the student"s personal life. Arouse curiosity: presenting a problem that the student can"t answer. Student input: use student"s question to start lesson. Teacher establishes expectation before they actually get to know them. Keeping eye on you because your brother was trouble last year. Ahead of time where the teacher makes the expectation that is low or high: sustaining expectation effect. Student starts out low and then expects the same performance/behavior throughout the year. If teacher doesn"t recognize that the behavior has increased, it can bring it back down to the sustaining expectation. How do we show them: through questions (difficulty of questions, communicated subtly. Wait time: longer time shows a more positive expectation. Avoid unnecessary academic comparisons: reading and math in ability groups. Say that ability groups are based on learning needs. Research study in 2 urban middle schools: students. Home lives didn"t put emphasis on education. Single parent homes: reading was boring.
