@smithelem_Noel Plan A is when the teachers make the decisions. Plan A may work for some students, but not all. This plan does not give the student a voice. #SmithLearns
@smithelem_Noel The prevailing view: kids are choosing to misbehave or react a certain way. Dr Greene’s view: kids want to behave but some lack the skill to do so. Even as adults we can lack skills to deal with situations and it’s it shown by our reactions. #SmithLearns
@smithelem_Noel I have seen so many of the items listed in my classroom over the years. It is very eye opening to see them listed. I can see this information being very useful for RTI and SST. #SmithLearns
Using the list of lagging skills helps to identify why a student is having difficulty with a situation. Knowing this helps to determine the next steps in helping the child learn how to cope. #SmithLearns
Looking at the list of possible lagging skills. How does this compare to the diagnoses we are used to seeing in kids with challenging behavior (ADHD, bipolar disorder, etc.)? Why does the author prefer not to use these diagnoses? #smithlearns
Our current system is not working, rewards and consequences do not work for every child. Those students who need a system in place lack the skill set to solve problems so rewards and consequences are not the answer. #SmithLearns
Smith Staff Book Study Q.3--The Disciplinary System: What does the author say about the current state of our discipline system? How does it or doesn't it serve students who behave well? What about students with behavioral challenges? Why or why not? #SmithLearns
@smithelem_Noel Dr Greene is telling us that students react to situations incorrectly because they lack skills to handle what is happening appropriately. If they could do well, they would. #SmithLearns
@smithelem_Noel believe all parties suffered in this situation, with Joey suffering the most. The teacher could have helped the situation by explaining the assignment more clearly instead of reacting as she did. In Joey’s eyes hitting the AP was an accident and he wasn’t heard.#SmithLearns
