A1: Failing to understand a student's position can cause the situation to escalate. Unfortunately, I have been guilty. #KaganChat

jessica_reddout Nov 29 @ 8:04 PM EST

A1: considering where the behavior comes from can help to determine the real reason the S is exhibiting the behavior #KaganChat

#Kaganchat A1. It's pretty close to impossible to solve a problem if you don't know what the problem is. We need to help students develop..

bgriffinteach Nov 29 @ 8:05 PM EST

A1: Knowing that an S was fighting with a friend helped me to handle his outbursts and refusal to work better than w/out. #kaganchat

In reply to @jshallcross01, @GroveCtyCollege

dtrabilsy Nov 29 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1 Ss need something...control, attention, etc. By knowing why behind the behavior we are able to handle the situation better. #kaganchat

llglass Nov 29 @ 8:08 PM EST

#kaganchat A1I have a Ss that saw his mom after an overdose. He acts out bc of fear, not from anything else.

In reply to @KaganOnline

A1: is students are hungry then can act differently- hard lesson I learned early on #kaganchat

In reply to @KaganOnline

A1 There may be a deeper meaning to why Ss are misbehaving. Keeping that in mind will help with management of that behavior #kaganchat

ABSOLUTELY!! #KaganChat

A1 Example-1 of my boys is very energetic-Gave him the job of getting milk 4 K's each day. Gets him up & out 4 a good reason. #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Nov 29 @ 8:11 PM EST

A2: A true cooperative classroom is one that meets children's deepest needs. The environment matches who children are as beings. #KaganChat

A2: more time on task means less time available to get in trouble. #kaganchat

In reply to @KaganOnline

PaulDScaletta Nov 29 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2 CL meets basic student needs which negates a lot of the need for Ss to act out. #KaganChat

WriteOnMoni Nov 29 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2: Structures keep Ss actively engaged. No time (or need) for acting out #KaganChat

VernAtKagan Nov 29 @ 8:12 PM EST

Good point. Too often our goal is to squelch the misbehavior instead of thinking long term. #KaganChat

In reply to @jessica_reddout

KaganOnline - Moderator Nov 29 @ 8:12 PM EST

True. The "quick fix" will not always help the student grow. #KaganChat

In reply to @jessica_reddout

jessica_reddout Nov 29 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2: cooperative learning strategies have helped to keep everyone on task & accountable. S's are learning how to work together #kaganchat

dtrabilsy Nov 29 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2 CL helps 2 meet their needs. Ss are getting + attention which means less reason 2 be disruptive. #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Nov 29 @ 8:13 PM EST

We think alike! Hey Paul! #KaganChat

In reply to @PaulDScaletta

rickatkagan - Moderator Nov 29 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2 #Kaganchat When we meet their needs & desires, namely socializing & moving, in structured ways, there is no time for disruption!

bgriffinteach Nov 29 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2: The structures give everyone a role to play and makes it harder to be off task. Ss know the rest of the group depends on them #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Nov 29 @ 8:14 PM EST

On task behavior is so critical to learning. Spot on! #KaganChat

In reply to @jessica_reddout

jshallcross01 Nov 29 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2 - Ss will be focused on something cool and interesting. This will draw them away from having the chance to misbehave. #kaganchat

bgriffinteach Nov 29 @ 8:15 PM EST

I agree. Moving around/talking are common disruptions so working them into the lesson helps tons! #kaganchat

In reply to @rickatkagan

VernAtKagan Nov 29 @ 8:16 PM EST

The two most common discipline problems = talking and out of seat behavior. CL addresses both! #KaganChat

And now, Question #3. Let's talk about rapport. #KaganChat

KaganOnline - Moderator Nov 29 @ 8:16 PM EST

AGREE! We want STUDENTS to leave class more tired than the TEACHER! #KaganChat

In reply to @WriteOnMoni

bgriffinteach Nov 29 @ 8:18 PM EST

A3: Talking to Ss about expectations and letting them know they can talk to you about a problem right off is a big help. #kaganchat

jshallcross01 Nov 29 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 Most misbehavior occurs when Ss aren't engaged or motivated to participate. If they're bored, bad behavior is more likely #kaganchat

jessica_reddout Nov 29 @ 8:18 PM EST

A3: involving S's in the solution process allows them to reflect on the issue at hand & analyze the reasons it needs a solution #kaganchat

PaulDScaletta Nov 29 @ 8:18 PM EST

A3 build relationships BEFORE problems occur. #KaganChat

JackieAtKagan Nov 29 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: many lack basic social skills so they become disruptive. How do they learn those skills? #kaganchat

dtrabilsy Nov 29 @ 8:19 PM EST

A3 Class meetings 2 discuss rules & expectations and 2 work on solutions to fix problems. Ss also make their own daily goals. #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Nov 29 @ 8:19 PM EST

A3: Listening to kids' responses in TB & CB allows us to make specific connections to their world. S's know when we are genuine. #KaganChat

bgriffinteach Nov 29 @ 8:19 PM EST

A3: Ask Ss how they should have handled a situation or what they could have done differently to get them involved in solution. #kaganchat

EdTechAmber Nov 29 @ 8:19 PM EST

A3)Ss need to know that you have a genuine interest in them as a person, not just a name on your roster. Kids see through fake. #kaganchat

jessica_reddout Nov 29 @ 8:19 PM EST

A3: a S asked for a new seat b/c he knew was unfocused. We worked together & created a new seating design to help his class focus #kaganchat

KaganOnline - Moderator Nov 29 @ 8:20 PM EST

Yes! We are in this TOGETHER. It's not us VERSUS them! What a difference that makes. #KaganChat

A3)When Ss can take ownership in their classroom expectations, they feel more invested and are willing to put forth the effort. #kaganchat

A3 Get Ss involved in getting to know one another/similarities and differences within the classroom. Talk it out. #kaganchat

... and we are glad they are there as well! #KaganChat

In reply to @rickatkagan

EdTechAmber Nov 29 @ 8:25 PM EST

I have found that relationship building--talking on the sidewalk, in the hallways, or at dismissal--is the bulk of my rapport. #kaganchat

rickatkagan - Moderator Nov 29 @ 8:26 PM EST

A3 #Kaganchat I agree @JackieAtKagan Every child needs at least 1 adult who's absolutely crazy about him/her. If not at home, then it's us!

In reply to @JackieAtKagan

EdTechAmber Nov 29 @ 8:27 PM EST

A4)As a rule of thumb, I never act "in the moment." Have found this is when you lose your cool. Will chat when we are both calm. #kaganchat

jessica_reddout Nov 29 @ 8:27 PM EST

I agree. It is during these situations we can learn alot about our students #kaganchat

In reply to @EdTechAmber

GrossKathy Nov 29 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4: Kathy jumping in late from Springfield MO. Nonverbals, pausing, ignoring are 3 things that work w/kids & adults. #kaganchat

A4 Humor helps. This is school, not war... most issues aren't as critical as we often make them. #KaganChat

dtrabilsy Nov 29 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4 Verbal cues (quiet signal) & nonverbal cues (signal set up between T & S). Also lang. of choice. Your choice is __ or __. #kaganchat

EdTechAmber Nov 29 @ 8:28 PM EST

Ss just want to know that you're paying attention to them...new haircut? Glasses? It's amazing. I use the "I noticed" line a lot. #kaganchat

jessica_reddout Nov 29 @ 8:27 PM EST

I agree. It is during these situations we can learn alot about our students #kaganchat
In reply to @EdTechAmber

jshallcross01 Nov 29 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4 - If Ss know and value what is being taught/respect is held for all, it shouldn't be hard to make a quick fix together #kaganchat

jessica_reddout Nov 29 @ 8:29 PM EST

A4: I like to use same side chat & talking w/ S's beyond the time of misbehavior. This one allows S's to process their decisions #KaganChat

A5: stolling chats & non academic conversations have always helped me to follow up after misbehavior.... #KaganChat
