@Springhillbrier A2: A student in crisis needs love and protection. Once the situation deescalates, then teaching and conversation about behavior can occur. #standOUTchat
@teacherlife2020 The main functions of behavior are to obtain and avoid. Be someone your students want to be near (especially your difficult ones) and not someone they will engage is disastrous behavior to avoid. It’s science!
A7: I used to let my "firsties" earn a "line hopper" pass. They got to line up in any spot they wanted and could move in line all day. They loved it and would work so hard for that reward! It was just a card with a frog printed on it.

A5: STRUCTURE IS KEY!! it’s so much better for everyone involved to prevent behavior with solid classroom structure. Structure is more than furniture arrangement, it’s procedures and routines+ visual/verbal/gestural cues #standoutchat
A5:Relationships first! Survey your students and get to know what they like and what motivates them
Plan for everything, systems for each part of the day: sharpening pencils, transitions, etc
Set high expectations/follow through They will rise to your expectations #standoutchat
A4: saw a great visual in a gen ed 1st grade room for a kiddo with asd who struggles with transitioning. Teacher made a “pause” symbol on an index card and taped it to his desk. When it was time to stop, the kiddo pushed pause, crisis averted! Genius! #standoutchat
