Effective teachers use body language to communicate with students, build rapport with them, and make them feel safe and supported.
From the start, command the classroom. Greet the class with a loud, clear, upbeat voice. If you look frazzled, you seem vulnerable. Lack of confidence is a red flag to students.
o Avoid folding your arms, standing behind a desk, and using barriers. These behaviors “simply sends the signal that you don’t want to make contact,” says Caswell. It blocks you off and makes you appear unapproachable. Don’t cross your arms or shuffle papers that aren’t related to the lesson, and refrain from looking at your watch when a child is speaking.
o Use the whole classroom. Walk around the students’ desks to show interest, and indicate approval with a head nod. Caswell suggests leaning slightly forward and moving momentarily into their territory in a nonthreatening way.
o Be aware of your facial expressions (or lack thereof!). They can easily convey any number of moods and attitudes, as well as understanding or confusion.
o Smile. It conveys happiness and encouragement. Frowns show sadness or anger. Big, open eyes suggest fear. An animated face draws the listener in.
o Make eye contact. It helps establish rapport and trust, and it shows that you’re engaged and listening to the students.
o Adopt different poses when you want your students to respond in a particular way.
o Your hand on your chin encourages students to think about the answer and shows you’re waiting for their answer.
o Hands out and palms up shows that you’re open to questions and answering in a nonthreatening way.
o Observe wait time—don’t stare and rush them. Appear relaxed and ready to listen.
Body language helps you get your message across. Let students know that you want to create a supportive, productive learning environment
