  1. Using specific praise • All teachers have used a verbal pat on the back to congratulate achievement but praise can also be targeted  at the strategy rather than the pupil. It can then direct pupils, or at least nudge them, along the right  line of enquiry. • This video of a maths class in Heather Primary School, is the backdrop to highlight this technique, which is effective across all ages and subjects. Click here to watch the video • The lesson is observed by Philippa Cordingley, director of the Centre for the Use of Research and Evidence in Education, who explains that specific praise can be time consuming but effective. • When you have watched the video you may want to discuss with a colleague the praise strategies used and the extent to which they feature in your classrooms. How could you strengthen specific praise with your students and subject area(s)?
