@lwing89 love this idea! #edchatme #pstmaine

MrsLBickford Mar 14 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A2: #edchatme RE https://t.co/QumEbYxxYj

MrsLBickford Mar 14 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A1: w/ MS, keep your cool. Stay calm w/ outrageous behavior they want a reaction. Talk to the student one on one to see if they are okay.

lwing89 Mar 14 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@mgchiappetta works like a charm! Write a name on a sticky beg. of day, Ss always asking "could I be the mystery student?" #edchatme :)

MisterCMaine - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@Ms_Livermore Kyrstal, compliance doesn't always = learning/engagement. We want Ss to be leaders & think creatively/critically. #EdChatME

WardwellBrooke Mar 14 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A2) always give them rewards when they do something good. It will make them feel better about themselves and their work. #edchatme

rainbowcat5 Mar 14 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A2 @MrsLBickford Never ever call an S out in front of others. #edchatme

devStets Mar 14 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A2: During my time as an Education Technician talking 'to' and 'with' Ss instead of 'at' and 'above' kept things positive/relaxed #edchatme

mracarmichael Mar 14 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A2. I like to do simple negotiations. For example, because they do so much teacher directed writing, they get a 10 min free write. #edchatME

Ms_E_T Mar 14 @ 8:44 PM EDT

I read an article today saying giving the kids the 'evil eye' to get them to stop bad behavior isnt a good strategy thoughts? #edchatme
