LOVE this ๐๐ซ
Inter Miami CF Academy shared this video of their players arriving to training - instead of the usual quiet walk onto the pitch, there was a sign saying: come in dancing or run 10 laps.
Naturally, most chose to dance ๐บ๐ชฉ
What I love about it is how deliberately it sets the level without feeling forced. Instead of demanding energy, they engineered it.
The session started with laughter, personality and zero self-consciousness, rather than nerves ๐
When people feel comfortable enough to be themselves, they stop overthinking and start overdelivering!!
Good vibes raise the level โก๏ธ

Every time I hear someone say that โbuilding relationships is how we get children to behaveโ Iโm amazed how often they then donโt define what
A) they mean by a relationship
B) how to actually build this mysterious thing.
This leads to multiple errors, eg trying to get kids to โlikeโ you and so on.
Part of the problem is that a lot of research into this appears to be dependent on correlation, not causation. Typically you see great behaviour and good relationships together, so people assume the latter causes the former.
But a good relationship is the outcome of good behaviour management, not the other way around. Itโs a product, not a cause.
Why? Because a โrelationshipโ is simply a description of two things- How two or more people typically
1. Behave and
2. Value one another.
So if you want to โbuild a relationshipโ you teach students how to act with one another, with you, with school peers, and so one. Simultaneously you teach them that they matter to you, and that their safety and success matters.
These things are far more important than โdo you know what football team they support?โ Youโre not their mate. The relationship you want- and they need- is adult to child, student to teacher. Demonstrated high regard AND standards.
Oh, one more major thing: boundaries. Students need to know there are limits of acceptable conduct, with penalties for crossing them. Any discussion about behaviour, or school behaviour system, that doesnโt have these, will eventually be pointless. No community survives without them, so why should classrooms and schools be different?
