There are times when students should be criticized for poor work or misbehavior. But your criticism should be constructive. Constructive criticism can turn a negative occurrence into a motivational tool.
Here are some suggestions for making your criticism constructive.
When criticizing the student, try to do so in private rather than in front of the entire class. Provide the criticism in a calm manner. Allow yourself to cool off first if you are angry or insulted.
