#leadlap Archive

Our chat will focus on the idea that we can lead and make positive change from any position in our school systems. Leadership is not about a title, it is a way of thinking and acting.

    A1: One of the biggest misconceptions is that all kids can control their behavior. We sometimes forget that kids lack those skills and they need to be taught. #LeadLAP
  • APKRentz Sep 22 @ 10:37 AM EDT
    A1: The kids are acting this way on purpose. They want to make those choices. But we know these are not the choices they want...no one wants to make bad choices. #LeadLAP

  • MattDunbar_VT Sep 22 @ 10:37 AM EDT
    A1: That all involved do not care. That has to be number 1. Behaviors are based off of cycles and the cycle never starts with a lack of care. #leadLAP
  • Lisa42Slp Sep 22 @ 10:37 AM EDT
    A2: great question! A common misconception is that the parents don't care and don't want to be involved. Sometimes they just don't know how to be involved and need support. #LeadLAP
  • 3_DLeadership Sep 22 @ 10:37 AM EDT
    @CarlaShalaby wrote a great book about this. “Troublemakers” talks about these challenging kids just want to be seen. They feel invisible. They want to be outstanding (stand out). Our system isn’t designed for them. #leadLAP
    In reply to @drjoy77, @CarlaShalaby
  • drjoy77 Sep 22 @ 10:38 AM EDT
    A1: Parents of challenging kids are often labeled "in denial" when they act as advocates for their children or question systems and structures. #LeadLAP
  • andreakornowski Sep 22 @ 10:38 AM EDT
    A1: Misconceptions: behavior is fixed. #Leadlap
  • mexusmx Sep 22 @ 10:38 AM EDT

  • KellyKastner Sep 22 @ 10:38 AM EDT
    A1 That they can’t learn, they don’t care, and they don’t know what their doing. #LeadLAP
  • diane_mackinnon Sep 22 @ 10:38 AM EDT
    A1: Misconceptions: When Ss have behavioral challenges, they must be "bad" kids with "bad" parents. And the teachers who can't handle the "bad" kids haven't done enough to support these Ss. #LeadLAP
  • APKRentz Sep 22 @ 10:38 AM EDT
    A1: The parents don't want to work with the school. They think their kids can do no wrong. Many times, parents are also unsure what to do, just like the school. We need to work as a team. #LeadLAP
  • drjoy77 Sep 22 @ 10:38 AM EDT
    This is very true, when in fact they need the tools and skills to make the right choices #LeadLAP

    A1 That they are not motivated to learn. #LeadLAP
  • HollyMecher Sep 22 @ 10:38 AM EDT
    A1: Students are challenging because they don’t like you. Very rarely is it that personal. (And if they really don’t like you - that’s on you, not them!) #LeadLAP
  • burgessdave Sep 22 @ 10:38 AM EDT
    A1: I think one of the most common misconceptions about the parents of challenging kids is that they don't care about school and education. In vast majority of cases....FALSE. #LeadLAP

    A1: #Leadlap Common misconception is that teachers don’t have the power to have an impact. Teachers underestimate their impact. T’s can make such a difference by learning the underlying issue and then giving S’s the tools to cope.

    A1: They can control behavior and are choosing not to. #leadlap

  • SamanthaBensing Sep 22 @ 10:39 AM EDT
    A1: I think we can get caught in the trap of discipline as something we do TO our challenging students, rather than WITH our challenging students. One of the most resonating ideas from #DisciplineWithDignity #LeadLAP

  • Greg_Moffitt Sep 22 @ 10:39 AM EDT
    A1: I think I forget sometimes that students with challenging behaviors have strengths and skills and passions. It’s easy to see the behavior and forget to see the kid. #LeadLAP

    A1b: We are asking our staff to remember these 6 concepts about behavior as we work with Jessica Minahan's Behavior Code this year. #LeadLAP
  • RebeccaCoda Sep 22 @ 10:39 AM EDT
    A1: Misconception is that that don’t care or aren’t trying. Families send us their very best. #Leadlap
  • HollyMecher Sep 22 @ 10:40 AM EDT
    A1b: misconception: The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. A lot of parents that have students that are considered challenging are more than willing to help, they just need help knowing how. After years of having the “bad kid”, it’s hard to trust the system! #LeadLAP
  • leighmragsdale Sep 22 @ 10:40 AM EDT
    A1: That kids want to be challenging. All kids want to feel success, love, & encouragement. #LeadLap

  • lvnfree4 Sep 22 @ 10:40 AM EDT
    A1. Challenging Kids - They know how to behave, but choose not to. Their Parents - They don't know how their child behaves or they choose to allow the behavior. Their Teachers - The teachers aren't "discipling" their Ss effectively or poor classroom management. #leadlap

    A1 Misconception- student actions are personal against the teacher. #leadlap
  • midteach Sep 22 @ 10:40 AM EDT
    a1: That challenging students are actively choosing their behaviors, rather than responding to their environment, and removing necessary supports or responding with shaming consequences because of this view #LeadLAP
  • msjosephsci Sep 22 @ 10:40 AM EDT
    A1: Why is a student behaving is the question. There is almost always a reason. get to know to know the why. Then address the why. #leadlap
  • GmecockPrincipl Sep 22 @ 10:40 AM EDT
    A1: The notion that they don’t have or have never attempted to change/remedy their situation. Thinking that they are helpless and without ideas or vision. #LeadLAP

    A6: this is where I really struggle. We have a smallish school, 2 classes per grade. Ss with challenging behaviors often struggle to break out of that mold with their peers. “I still remember when you were mean in 3rd grade” kind of resentment. It’s heartbreaking. #LeadLAP

    A forgiveness discussion is where Ss that have an issue w/a peer (or w/ themself) ask for class help to solve the problem so forgiveness & moving forward can happen. The kids always come up w/the best solutions & ways to prob solve. Whole group/optional/super effective! #Leadlap

    A7: We are doing a push in support for kids when they struggle with behavior. Our teachers don’t send kids to the office, instead they call for support from our kid support team and we come into the classroom to provide assistance. #LeadLAP

    A8: Social and Emotional Learning across all grade levels and not just for isolated committees. ACES at a glance for Ts so they can see that even some colleagues are in need of supports so that they in turn can be better for every child. #leadlap #Nan3EDU
