Brian Mendler's L.A.A.D. approach to defusing power struggles works and has helped me tremendously. Don't get mad...get L.A.A.D. It works! #FranconePDChat
Eliminate or devalue the honor roll to prevent bullying or aggression?! Never would have thought it, but Brian Mendler did. Since he couldn't eliminate it, he added to it with the On A Roll concept, which is recognizing students who are improving in anything. #FranconePDChat
Brian Mendler's Two by Ten (2 x 10) really piques my interest. What a great way to build a relationship with a student who rarely participates or engages in activities! #FranconePDChat
Growing up, my teachers always had the last word, and it wasn't productive. Brian Mendler's Second to Last Word is Best principle is key for teachers. I started using it more last school year, and it got me out of my power struggles. #FranconePDChat
Brian Mendler has opened my eyes about the power and control students have in their lives and how it affects them. Watch Your Mouth! is a must-read. #FranconePDChat
What kind of pilot am I? I am patient and know how to redirect the plane if there's too much turbulence for my passengers aka students. I want to carefully guide and steer my students down a path of productivity that will have lifelong benefit. #FranconsSoar@FranconeElem
