Nonverbal reinforcement is a technique used to encourage a student or pupil by showing interest and attention through body language and gestures. It can help students feel more confident and raise their morale. Some examples of nonverbal reinforcement include:
Smiling
Nodding
Making eye contact
Staying close to the student

Writing the student's response on the board
In contrast, negative nonverbal reinforcement includes expressions of annoyance, frowning, and sneering.
