A2:To keep a discipline and,as main goal,guarantee a safe and proper learning environment in the classroom

Hi Neda! So wonderful to see you here!
A3:I ask them if they think the rule is right for our classroom or not,and I ask them why yes or why no
A3b:I can add some fake rules ("Bring a flower shirt") to see their reactions and make them think critically
Those sound like they would be good discussions with students. https://t.co/vt2nTi3Y62

A3. Ss may b asked to enlist do's n don'ts. You'd b surprised their suggestions match those u have as the teacher.
Q3: I talk about respecting their right to learn and my right to teach & about making good choices https://t.co/EVA5f644w2

A4:I try to match the consequence with the context of misbehavior
A4B:For example,if a student disturb others during a game,that student will be out of the game till the end
Ss always come up w/ conseq I wouldn't use. "We can never use the ball again." "What else?" https://t.co/vGxVQDUTwq

I find most students will come up with consequences that are worse than what I would normally give. https://t.co/LH4H4yCOfo

yes,and they are also have to be proportional with the severity of the infraction
I'm googling it right after the chat. Sounds interesting. https://t.co/bcTIXiIBrm
does require a lot of discussion about how to approach dif situations. "What does C-level behavior look like?"
I usually try to give S a chance to try again after a brief break.
yes,me too,depending on the misbehavior. I also offered a message with the alternative behavior
Sometimes all they need is some time to cool down and think. https://t.co/Ju2iAqCTMd

A5:Implementing the consequence everytime that the rule is broken and with every student,no matter who did
A5: If I say I'm going to do it, then I always follow thru,otherwise students will test the limits. https://t.co/ayWxbV5FbC
Consistency . . . https://t.co/NtcugIiJGn
A5:Implementing the consequence everytime that the rule is broken and with every student,no matter who did
I try Inquiry. "What else could you have done?'Let's them do some critical thinking around behavior.
A5 I eliminate the word rules-it elicits defiance.I model consistency through having S's keep track of daily reflection.
A6: Yes, praise, encouragement, a phone call home. Students enjoy the attention, feel special. https://t.co/N6bPjKx3aF
A5 Alwys giv Ss an opprtunty to supply xplnation for comitn infraction to eliminate perception of being unfairly targeted.
A6:Yes,at the beginning,but progressively I try to keep good behavior as routine,without expecting any reward
Being a role model is so important! https://t.co/mW60sfaznA

It's important to listen and find out the reasons behind the behaviour. https://t.co/cib8DQEbPA

I agree. I want students to be intrinsically (rather than extrinsically) motivated. https://t.co/J447svutgd
A6:Yes,at the beginning,but progressively I try to keep good behavior as routine,without expecting any reward
Yes,the final reward should be the chance to learn properly and have a safe environment
A6 yes this encourages Ss as there's something tangible to b attained thru receipt of rewards
Agreed, ideally all students would have a growth mindset. https://t.co/tX6hYCsjn2

If I sense smthng going off rails, we discuss as a class.Allows all to vent + come to new concls. https://t.co/z1k2uFI6zV
A7: intrinsic - doing it b/c the beh is rewarding (enjoying sports, my daughter playing Minecraft) https://t.co/HCjuvRu852
A7:Intrinsic-the student feelings or thoughst are already a reward for them.Extrinsic-Ts give something (material or no)
A8:Intrinsic-listening a song they like,learning through some funny game.Extrinsic-praising,extra point in report cards
Exactly! https://t.co/bkxVku0see

Music is a good motivator. Same with games. https://t.co/II6sZnVUfI

Q8 I place stickers on tasks that r well done to praise effort. I write like "excelente" " bien". They luv these

Yes,I teach Spanish and they love learning with songs,and they keep asking me "please again!" with some
