@MisterMayes5 A5: not giving into the manipulations of the behavior shows your commitment to their whole self and the goal of the discipline. Speaking in love and discipline through a relationship with trust from the start makes the difference. Be sure they smile and laugh with you. Always.
@MisterMayes5 A4:follow up with guardian/continuous conversation about the change the child wants to see. Be sure they want to seek change and that itโs not you asking for change. We have no programs or follow up in my school. Would love to know what others have. #loveSCschools @SCASCD
@MisterMayes5 A3: continuous praise on the tough days. Even if you have to dig deep. Giving opportunities for responsibilities and ownership no matter how minor. Praising positive interactions between the struggling student and peers-proving that discipline can be with any age interaction
@MisterMayes5 A2: quick writes for students, break the ice games, request sports/activity schedules, meet and greet night, show vulnerability and empathy through intentional conversations #loveSCschools @SCASCD
Your voice is important. That idea you have needs to be heard. You are not the weakest link. Go for it. Someone needs you. We can learn from you. Your perspective can be explored. #iLEADbecauseiLOVE
