A2: we are a team. Ts can talk with peers, counselors/social workers/etc. No one deserves to feel alone- we all need someone. #3rdchat

In reply to @smozer

MrsPug1 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Q4 #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3. Building those relationships so you can ask Ss what's going on. Switching things up when a current plan isn't working #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: I think it is important to remember each is an individual. Find what works for that child. #3rdchat

smozer Apr 5 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: I have very clear expectations. My 1st principal at my current school always said, "What you accept becomes your standard." #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Easier said than done for me ✅ #3rdchat much more challenging some days!

In reply to @LindsayMunroe

MrRussoRH Apr 5 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Agreed! Have many strategies; always a back up plan. 😉 #3rdchat

In reply to @MrsAlligood13

FirstAtBat - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4: My philosophy is they all need to know about choice and consequences. Every choice has a consequence. Positive and negative. #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:28 PM EDT

In reply to @MrsPug1, @classcraftgame

_AmandaFry Apr 5 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3: Consequences need to be developmentally appropriate. Ss should learn and grow from the experience. They need not be punitive. #3rdchat

MrRussoRH Apr 5 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A4: Firm but fair is an underlying principle, but flexibility is critical. No two situations are alike, each S is unique. #3rdchat

LindsayMunroe Apr 5 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A4: I mostly reward too. We put gems in a jar working toward a class reward. They choose a new reward each time. #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:30 PM EDT

THIS! Being willing to change to meet the Ss where THEY are! Doing what is BEST not EASIEST! 💗💗💗#3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3. Building those relationships so you can ask Ss what's going on. Switching things up when a current plan isn't working #3rdchat

Many of my 8ths are digging it! 😉 And they make sure I use it! Reminding me to reward or take away for classmates and themselves. #3rdchat

Donna jumping in late #3rdchat

MrRussoRH Apr 5 @ 9:31 PM EDT

I might bring that idea into my office...I've thought about it, but am wondering...drawing too! Any way to get it out... #3rdchat

In reply to @MrsPug1, @mleonard03

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:31 PM EDT

It's very in depth and maybe a bit too much for our grade levels but the kids seem to love it #3rdchat

Hi Donna, glad you jumped in to #3rdchat tonight

In reply to @DonnaWeth

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:32 PM EDT

We might need to chat more about how you use it. It's so in depth! #3rdchat

In reply to @MrsPug1, @classcraftgame

MrsPug1 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Yes! Drawing is an outlet for many! I let a S keep a journal on his desk to doodle in when he felt angry/anxious. Worked great! #3rdchat

In reply to @MrRussoRH, @mleonard03

milesnawmiles Apr 5 @ 9:32 PM EDT

I once had a colleague advise me that "fair is not always equal". Had to think on that one a while. She was very wise #3rdchat

MrRussoRH Apr 5 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A4: Firm but fair is an underlying principle, but flexibility is critical. No two situations are alike, each S is unique. #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Or draw, maybe blog. multiple modalities for the reflection in my classroom-helps them engage in their process as an 8 or 9 yr old #3rdchat

Maybe they can guest mod? 😀👍 #3rdchat

In reply to @MrsAlligood13, @classcraftgame

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4. Fair consequences for both positive and negatives. But remember each child is different and consequences vary #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Very wise! Love this image for that! #3rdchat

In reply to @milesnawmiles

MrsPug1 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Q5 #3rdchat

MrRussoRH Apr 5 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Yes...at some point consequences that are discipline based don't have the desired effect. Often Ss need to see what happens if...😕 #3rdchat

In reply to @LindsayMunroe

MrsPug1 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Also that just bc that consequence worked for that child once doesn't mean it will every time. #3rdchat

In reply to @MrsAlligood13

FirstAtBat - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5: Time to talk with the child. A reflection center for them to think about things first, then chat. Parent involvement is best. #3rdchat

smozer Apr 5 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5: I love this website for ideas about how to handle behaviors. They also have behavior charts/ rewards. https://t.co/ch0YpHHiM2 #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5. We read @Peekapak book on self-regulation and talked about how to say something is bothering/keep feelings in check etc #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5 I feel a program for character ed at younger grades is important. Our school also uses PBS-Rewarding those w/pos behavior. #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4: equity not equality, compassion, consequences with grace when needed are my go to for philosophy. ALL Ss deserve our best #3rdchat

_AmandaFry Apr 5 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5: The relationship before the undesirable event is so important. Having a relationship besides disciplinarian makes a difference. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5: Growth mindset teaching also fits in so well. Frustrated kids can easily turn into the ones with behavior issues. #3rdchat

MrRussoRH Apr 5 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5:today was that day!Ss need space to make sense of what's happening & their response.Also benefit from adult unpacking it w/them. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Yes, work on relationships instead of pushing the authority position. #3rdchat

Q6 #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5: If you see specific issues, spend time in role play, positive and non examps. Talk why non examples interfere with learning. #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:43 PM EDT

We have to remember sometimes bored kids turn into behavior problems too! Teach them to challenge themselves #3rdchat

In reply to @FirstAtBat

mleonard03 - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5: investing in Ss and families. Building trust, getting to know them! Taking/making time to address small things. Character ed! #3rdchat

LindsayMunroe Apr 5 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5: Respect is key. They need to know you believe in them&want them to succeed. Instead of just the person telling them what to do.#3rdchat

I am always so thankful that I majored in Psychology for undergrad. I often use that degree more than my teaching degree. #3rdchat

In reply to @MrsAlligood13, @MrsPug1

I can tell you that from an admin role that relationships beat authority every single time. Not the title but the connection. #3rdchat

A6. Taking a S for a moment so both can have a break, offering ideas, a shoulder to cry on #3rdchat
