We use the
Q1
A1
format for questions and answers on
-
-
looking forward to a great chat
-
A1: Discipline teaches and punishment is punitive. Jails and prisons use punishment.
-
-
-
-
-
-
A1- Unfortunately so many times we use punishment to teach discipline. Do we use punishment to teach academics?
-
A2: Positive environments gives Ss a model for improving behavior.
-
A2: Allows them to see, practice, and apply good behavior. Hearing positive words and being surrounded by influential people
-
-
A2- A positive environment will encourage Ss to follow positive behavior. In a negative environment Ss follow problem behaviors
-
Bummer! Still not fully working. Can only see some of the tweets. Will check archive
-
A3- Without strong relationships in urban schools, chances for academic growth are limited. It's the foundation for learning
-
-
A3: Ss will usually listen and respect Ts who have a connection with them.
-
-
A3: It allows S's and P's to know you care. S's can accept redirection and get back on track. https://t.co/ScplxnCoq6
-
A4: I noticed that when I get to know my Ss they are able to be redirected.

Sorry hopping in late to !
-
A2: positive environment makes Ss want to do better!
-
A3: There's a story behind those eyes. Knowing they have someone who cares to talk and listen vs yelling and assuming is great!
-
A3 It builds trust that will last forever.
-
-
A3: help give students purpose, helps move extrinsic motif to intrinsic, models the import of creating/sustain relationships
-
A5: Listening to Ss vs. talking at them. Sharing a small part of you the person not the Ts.

-
A5. Take time to talk w/Ss. Attend their extra-curricular activities. Intro yourself to their families.
-
-
A5 Teach like their life depends on it and involve parents in the learning activities.
-
-
A5: talking and LISTENING w/out judgement, providing insight, helping Ss make connections between current and future decisions
-
-
Ss have enough people in their life that judge them, unconditional relationships need to be modeled
-
A6: Don't let Ss pull you into a power struggle because they like it and you will just be frustrated.
-
A6: not worth getting in a pwr struggle with Ss, the T is the adult and needs to know/demonstrate when it's time to walk away
-
Yes. The power struggle is real and the student ALWAYS win the moment we entertain the nonsense.
-
-
A6: Ss will KO the Ts everytime. If they understand what they're up against from the get go, they will never enter the ring
-
Yes! I wasn't able to see chat earlier. Now I can see the feed. Like this all afternoon/evening
-
A7 patience goes a long way in supporting
-
A7 Pausing to connect and hear how they feel is more important than trying to control Ssbehavior. https://t.co/SyqH6czz1P
-
A7: some Ss don't know how to filter themselves, once they spit it all out then they can move on, can calmly discuss after
-
A7: Not just "listening," but actively listening and acknowledging you care about S's feelings. https://t.co/zVikOEg0sC
-
Checked in very late for this evening, but I will definitely be here earlier in future. Such an important topic
-
A7+1 Ss want to know we care about how they feel more than how they act.
-
Catching the end of after a few days of ...brain is on fire in the best possible way.
-
A7: Listening and acknowledging helps Ss to disengage. Waiting can give the Ss time to calm down.
-
-
The situation with the officer and the female Ss could have been avoided had they waited
-
A7: Breathe, think, & act. Two emotionally high people can cause some damage for the future relationship between that T & S
-
Totally agree! Let her save face. Remove the other Ss. Time would have helped.
-
-
And offer several choices for them to think about in order to help them help themselves
-
Yes! Breath...think...repeat...repeat..act
-
-
I agree. I've given options before and of course they always go with the one that keeps them close to me :-)
-
A7: Listening is key to building relationships with students. Understanding the emotional temperament of students is important.
-
...and the emotional temperament of Ts...we deal with so much in our line of work
-
