Praise, when used in a purposeful, consistent and strategic way, has been shown to be an effective way of influencing student’s beliefs about their learning and their ability to succeed and can lead to increased motivation and persistence in the face of challenges. It can also make students feel valued and strengthen relationships between teachers and students. However, research has also shown that teachers do not use praise very often, and even less so with older young people. This tool provides an introduction to creating a positive praise culture in educational settings. It is suitable for use by those working with school-aged children and young people at any stage.
