Motivating Students Series
Negative feedback can lead to a
negative class atmosphere. Be specific when giving negative feedback and tie
comments to a specific task or performance—not to a specific student.
Cushion negative comments with positive compliments about aspects of the
task that students did well and be sensitive to "offhanded" remarks that
might engender feelings of inadequacy. Often students want to know the
"answer"—"what was it I should have said or done to make it right?" Avoid
pleas from students for the "right answer" which can rob them of the
opportunity to think and problem-solve for themselves. Ask for suggestions
of possible approaches to the problem, suggest sources, and encourage them
to build on existing skills. Always praise students for small, independent
steps. —Submitted by Employee Development

Full-time faculty & staff members were treated
to a summer supper on Monday, August 2, 2004, in the small gym. The meal consisted
of barbecue and all the fixings. The bluegrass band, Radio Dispatch (which
includes our own Karen Krider), entertained during the supper. Two
"inflatable toys" were set up on the Circle for everyone to enjoy--grownups
as well as children took turns sliding down the slide. A wonderful time was
had by all! Click thumbnails to
