Which approach is most effective when re-engaging a student who has had an emotional outburst after the student has calmed down?

A private restorative conversation after de-escalation repairs the relationship and teaches appropriate behavior without public humiliation.
A teacher uses 'behavior-specific praise' such as 'I noticed you raised your hand and waited quietly.' Why is this more effective than general praise like 'Good job'?

Behavior-specific praise tells students exactly what they did correctly, reinforcing the precise behavior the teacher wants repeated.
