Great classroom goal to round out the week! #CHAMPS

[Safe & Civil Schools @SafeAndCivil]

Goal: We can access all materials, workspaces, and essential locations without disturbing others. Create a natural traffic flow, assign seats, and place responsible students near areas that have the highest potential for distraction. #earlystageinterventions #safeandcivilschools

@JessicaSprick Ohhhh good point!

[Kaytie Milliken, Ed.D. @KayMilliken]

I always encourage teachers (and MYSELF) to look in the mirror and practice finding an emotionally neutral facial expression and vocal tone. What does it look and sound like? Return here when responding to misbehavior!

[Safe & Civil Schools @SafeAndCivil]

In times of stress, it is easy to fall into bad habits like emotional, angry reactions to student misbehavior. During these difficult times, most of us need to find daily ways to consciously prompt & monitor ourselves to ensure responses are calm and unemotional. #CHAMPS #DSC

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! 🤓

We're excited to announce that registration is OPEN for our 2022 National Conference! 🎉  https://t.co/xC5IzeKhEE

[Jessica Sprick @JessicaSprick]

When stressed, tired, or on edge about other things, these are the times to be most intentional about remaining emotionally neutral when a student is misbehaving. Take a deep breath and think before responding. Seek to act calm even if you don’t feel it

Can children feel and articulate their loneliness? Authors Campos & McConnell Fad explore this question in their new text, Lonely Kids in a Connected World. https://t.co/zXuWtbDhPA

Greet your students. 👋🏼
At the door. 🚪
By name. 🗯
Every day. 📆

[Melanie Sanders @DrSandersESE]

I’m a firm believer that this is the most underutilized while most important strategies...just recognize positives more than negatives. When we really do this, it is a game changer.

Active problem solving, solution oriented approaches, continuous improvement! As my dad always says, “misbehavior is a puzzle to be solved, not a threat to be removed” ~Randy Sprick

[Safe & Civil Schools @SafeAndCivil]

Strive to increase your ratio of positive interactions! Calling students by name & greeting them at the door are simple ways to start the day/class off with a focus on relationships. #CHAMPS #DSC

[Kaytie Milliken, Ed.D. @KayMilliken]

In your classroom, does it benefit students more to behave appropriately or inappropriately? Which type of behavior do you acknowledge most often? #CHAMPS

[Safe & Civil Schools @SafeAndCivil]

Increasing positive interactions is especially effective with students engaging in attention-seeking misbehaviors. Catch them following expectations. Demonstrate that responsible behavior consistently results in positive attention. #CHAMPS #DSC

[Kaytie Milliken, Ed.D. @KayMilliken]

Will always remember the words of my dear friend @solsearcher, “Q-TIP!” Quit taking it personally!

[Safe & Civil Schools @SafeAndCivil]

Don't take student misbehavior personally! While it can be easy to become emotional with a student who exhibits repeated misbehavior, continue to lead in a professional and positive manner.  #safeandcivilschools
