Like we found with parents, teachers reported preferring to give process responses (e.g., praising child for effort) compared to person responses. But teachers do report occasional person messages (esp. in response to children’s successes). There was also variability between teachers 3/7
Teachers reported giving frequent process responses to success and failure, with averages around 4 on a 5 point scale. Teachers report less frequent person responses to success, with an average around 2, and to failure, an average around 1.5.
