Nevertheless, many teachers end up using language patterns that undermine these goals. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe want students to take responsibility for their learning, yet we use language that implies teacher ownership. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe want to build positive relationships with students, yet we use sarcasm when we get frustrated. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe want students to think learning is fun, yet we sometimes make comments that suggest the opposite. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe want students to exhibit good behavior because it's the right thing to do, yet we rely on threats and bribes, which implies students don't naturally want to be good.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat teachers say to students--when they praise or discipline, give directions or ask questions, and introduce concepts or share stories--affects student learning and behavior. A slight change in intonation can also dramatically change how language feels for students. In \u003cem\u003eWhat We Say and How We Say It Matter, \u003c\/em\u003e Mike Anderson digs into the nuances of language in the classroom. This book's many examples will help teachers examine their language habits and intentionally improve their classroom practice so their language matches and supports their goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnderson, Mike:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Anderson\u003c\/strong\u003e has been an educator for more than 25 years.
