Q6: “In any situation we have two choices, be nice or be rude.” How can we help Ss repair a situation instead of escalating it? #TXed

lori_lreyes Apr 12 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A6-the best way is to think before you speak/react but it's not always easy, say sorry when you realize it was wrong #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Apr 12 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A6-We must show them that every action as a reaction. Take the high road to success #TXed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Apr 12 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A6: Model, model, model. You can talk about it all you want. The teachable moment for this is when you are in the moment. #txed

LBell_Yegua Apr 12 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A5 u never know who is going through what...start with that and you can diffuse a situation before it begins #TXed

rownbey Apr 12 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A6 Model it for them! Teaching middle schoolers is tough! But it's full of so many teachable moments 4 Ss 2 see me #choosekind #txed

Hahne_KingEle Apr 12 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A6 you have to have the trust and relationship built first before you make strides of improvement. Act not react, #txed

Wesley_Vinson38 Apr 12 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A6: Conflict resolution skills come into play. Help Ss pause drama, name their feeling, consider the issue, come up w/ a better way #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Apr 12 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A6/Part 2: It is always interesting to role play these situations with Ss as well. This is a great way to get them experience. #txed

A6: By encouraging students to be reflective & not defensive. Using "I feel...when you" statements can desclate a situation #txed

It's interesting, because the book says regularly that sarcasm is not a way to speak to Ss. I always thought it was a tension breaker. #txed

A6: take a moment to calm & reflect; be kind & direct/specific; use our nice words; apologize #txed

Q4: Impatience/unprofessional-ism creates personal hurt that never totally heals. How can you avoid actions that cause hurt feelings? #TXed

A6: By directly teaching social skills-we don't just teach academics-we teach them to be good people❤#txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Apr 12 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A6-Allow them to see that their actions have reactions. Show them they have more than one way to solve a problem #TXed

Hahne_KingEle Apr 12 @ 10:15 PM EDT

I hear what the book says but some Ss respond to sarcasm over basic voice/directions. Varied needs have varied techniques. #TXed
