  9. Come To The Edge Come to the edge. It’s too tall. Come to the edge. I’ll fall. Come to the edge. And they came. And you pushed them. And they flew.

  10. Pizza Glyph • Draw your crust: Thick = boy, thin= girl • Add pepperoni: Number = age in years • Add mushrooms: Number = siblings • Add onions: Number = number of pets • Add bell pepper: Number = the number of years you have been at your school. • Now practice reading each other’s glyph!

  11. Creating Acceptance • Create a class greeting • Make eye contact with each student • Call all students by their first or preferred name • Move toward and stay close to the learners

  13. CLASSROOM CLIMATE • What I will do to help students:_____ feel accepted by the teacher and their peers_____ perceive the classroom as a comfortable and orderly place

  14. Responding the Right WayThese are power behaviors that influencea student’s sense of acceptance and thereby enhance his or her creativity and engagement with the lesson. • Provide Wait Time Pausing to allow a student more time to answer instead of moving on to another student when you don’t’ get an immediate response • Dignify Responses Giving credit for the correct aspects of an incorrect response • Restate the Question Ask the question again using the same words • Rephrase the Question Use different words that might increase the probability of a correct response • Provide Guidance Giving enough hints and clues so that the student will eventually determine the correct answer

  15. Session 3: Rules and Routines

  16. SCHOOL/CLASSROOM CHARACTERISTICS ASSOCIATED WITH DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS • Rules are unclear or seen as unfairly or inconsistently enforced. • Students did not believe in the rules. • Teachers & administrators did not know the rules. • Teachers & administrators disagreed on responses to student misconduct. • Teacher & administrator cooperation was poor. • Administration was inactive. • Teachers had punitive attitudes. • Misconduct was ignored. • Schools were too large. • Schools lacked adequate resources for teaching. John Hopkins University Researchers, Gottfredsons CARS Newsletter, April/May 1995

  17. Formula for Success Voice + Choice = Loyalty

  18. How to Establish Rules • Involve the class in making rules. • Keep the rules short and easy to understand. • Phrase rules in a positive way. • Remind the class of the rules at times other than when someone has misbehaved. • Make different rules for different kinds of activities. • Key children in to when different rules apply. • Post the rules and review them every so often. • If a rule isn’t working change it.

  19. With Your Tablemates… • Create three classroom rules. Include the rewards and consequences related to your rule.

  20. The number one problem is not discipline; it is the lack of procedures & routines!

  21. Where to get materials What to do if they have a question Where to work Where to put finished work What the classroom rules are How to focus on the task What the limitations are If and why the teacher is unavailable Independent ActivitiesStudents Should Know:

  22. Break Time!

  23. Session 4: Reinforcements

  24. If you punish a child for being naughty, and reward him for being good, he will do right merely for the sake of the reward, and when he goes out into the world and finds that goodness is not always rewarded, nor wickedness always punished, he will grow into a man who thinks about how he may get on in the world, and does right or wrong according as he finds of advantage to himself. Immanuel Kant Education

  25. Selecting Appropriate Reinforcers • Ask the child. • Observe the child’s preferences. • Use what worked elsewhere. • Give the student choices. • Reinforcers lose value over time.

  26. Instructions for Give-One-Get-One • Jot down three (3) of your own ideas. • Get up and find someone from another table. Share your lists. • Giveone new idea from your list to your partner.Getone new idea from your partner's list. • Move on to a new partner and repeat Steps 2 and 3. • If your list and your partner's list are identical and you have no new ideas to exchange, you must remain together and brainstorm something that can be added to each of your lists. **Note: Exchange no more than one idea with any given partner.

  27. Session 5: Polishing Your Technique

  28. Session 6: Smoothly Flowing Classrooms

  29. SIGNALS • Use a classroom signal for attention • Whatever signal you use -- be consistent!!! GIVING DIRECTIONS • Plan your directions ahead of time • Use 3 step directions • Give directions immediately before the activity • Get the attention of every student • Get feed back from students • Tell them and show them • Keep your voice low • Use signals for whole class response Thumbs up = yes Thumbs down = no Fist = question or I don't know

  30. Smoothly Flowing Classrooms Transition Problems A few students always seem to be slow during transitions delaying the rest of the class. Students frequently find reasons to wander during transitions. The teacher delays the beginning of activities to look for materials, finish attendance reporting, returning or collecting papers, or chat with individual students while other students wait. Students talk loudly at the beginning of the period. The teacher is interrupted while checking attendance, and the start of content activities is delayed.

  31. Smoothly Flowing Classrooms Transition Problems Students socialize too much during transitions, especially after an assignment has been given, but before they have begun working on it. Many students do not start their assignments for several minutes. Two students argue, even after being separated. Whenever the teacher attempts to move the students from one activity to another, a number of students don’t make the transition but continue working on the preceding activity. This delays the start of the new activity or results in confusion. While the teacher gives directions during a transition, many students do not pay attention. They continue to put their materials away or get new materials.

  36. Session 9: Dealing with Difficult Behaviors

  37. GOALS WHEN DEALING WITH DIFFICULT BEHAVIOR • Attention • Avoidance • Power • 1. To eliminate or minimize the behavior. • 2. To maintain student’s self esteem. • 3. To maintain the lesson.

  38. Discussing Inappropriate Behaviors Do It: • Quietly • Calmly • Privately Every Time You Can!

  39. Whenever you are dealing with unacceptable behavior always question whether the behavior in question is an isolated event or a recurring symptom of a greaterproblem. Don’t major in minor problems!

  40. Avoiding Handing Over Your Power • As often as possible, handle your own discipline issues. • Find a colleague who will agree to be your “time out” buddy. • Set up “journey” activities in advance. • Breathe and remember…It’s not personal!
