ABSTRACT: Teacher language is one of the most powerful tools a teacher wields; it can shape how students think, how they perceive themselves, and ultimately how they learn. The Responsive Classroom approach, which research shows is associated with students having better social skills and more positive feelings about school, offers concrete strategies to help teachers' classroom language support student learning. Denton, who coaches teachers in Responsive Classroom strategies, discusses five key principles of positive teacher language: (1) be direct; (2) convey faith in students' abilities and intentions; (3) focus on actions; (4) be brief; and (5) know when to be silent. She offers classroom examples of using each strategy successfully.
