Sometimes, kids make bad choices… but that doesn’t make them a bad kid. I hope we communicate that message to our students. Tomorrow is a new day. (And we’re all hoping to be a little bit more mature tomorrow than we were today.) #Redemption

ALL kids are good. They wake up every morning wanting to succeed. Some make bad choices or have difficulty or lagging skills, but they are not bad kids!
There are no BAD kids! There are kids who:
-have been traumatized
-have little hope for the future
-have never experienced success, love or joy
-have not learned how to regulate their emotions
It is NEVER too late to help a kid who is struggling!

Kids need consequences, not punishments. Consequences hold students accountable for repairing harm, are logical, relate to the offense, and build empathy.
Punishments build fear or indifference & don't teach empathy.

Used “Let’s Try” for the first time w/ a S who was escalated. His eyes lit up when I showed him the box with options. It proved to be a powerful resource to help him regulate quickly. Followed up using “Let’s Talk” @caselorg#HackingSchoolDiscipline#PIA#BeTheOne#AHSchools
Used “Let’s Try” w/ a student who was emotionally escalated & not interested in talking let alone problem-solving. After 3 mins of using dominos from the “Let’s Try” box he was smiling & willing to talk & reflect on his actions. @caselorg#SEL#HackingSchoolDiscipline#BeTheOne
