@MsHammett Here’s another thing I love and didn’t get to talk about....the good behavior game. https://t.co/7WoDDqCree and https://t.co/aRlSePAI0i

A2: https://t.co/U4Ft8DDlq5 and https://t.co/lRbQH7aFvc are two really great resources for addressing(and preventing) behaviors #StandOUTchat

@MsHammett @teacherlife2020 Thanks for having us!! We love working with your team!

A7: other cheap reinforcers- helping the principal count the change in the coke machine, help the janitor wipe down tables, listen to headphones during work time, sitting in the teacher’s chair, lunch buddies where they eat with teacher and a peer #standoutchat

I love me some cheap, effective reinforcement. Things to try: “stinky feet” (kids can take off their shoes), “class DJ” (can choose the pandora or Spotify tunes for the class), helping the secretary make announcements on the intercom, help the librarian scan inbooks #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!

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

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

A4 again! #standoutchat

A4: use what they love to motivate them! Kid loves dinosaurs? Put a dinosaur sticker on his math work. https://t.co/NjRWLQZJz2

A4: VISUALS!!! Visual reminders of rules, expectations and reinforcement for doing the right thing. Example: hang a green sheet of paper on your board when kids can talk quietly, and a red sheet when it’s time to look at you and be quiet/ready to learn #standoutchat

A3- group contingencies are awesome to put in place! The whole class has to work together to earn the reward. https://t.co/nTeTWlP1nZ

@teacherlife2020 Love contingency maps! Super helpful to have “in the moment” to visually redirect

[caryn allison @carynallison2]

@MsHammett Love this point—- it’s also not necessary to make them apologize or acknowledge that they know better! You will have time to process when not in crisis mode. Research has shown that when in a crisis, our IQ can drop nearly 40 points!
