Positive reinforcement is less used than negative reinforcement. If you have ways to stay positive, the interviewer will be impressed. Share things you plan to do in the classroom.

"Positive reinforcement can look a lot of ways. One way is with simple gestures of positive verbal feedback. Another is through candy, small prizes, and extra credit."

Positive reinforcement that has worked for me involves giving extra credit for students. Many of my students work diligently to make sure they live up to expectations and get the credit they deserve.

Shane's Feedback

If extra credit does not work for some, try giving a free day or ask the students what they want. You can come to some kind of agreement.
