@BrianMendler Meet the need, then teach the skill.
Ask "Are you Hungry, Angry , Lonely or Tired?" (HALT)
Listen to the answer, meet that need... then teach the skill... it's transformational.
@BrianMendler HALT Are you Hungry Angry Lonely or Tired.
FUDN Tell me what is Frustrating you, Upsetting you, Disappointin you...Now what.
Both are great diffusers of stressed or angry kids.

I love this. The message. The song. The kids. The tears.
Watch this with a classroom full of kids today.
@nowMrsMFLAHT If you don't kick out some curriculum you kick out kids. Teachers teach students not curriculum. Positive school culture means that everyone is responsible for behaviour. Every kid, every staff member, every day all of time you are at school. Alignment matters.
If you follow Kate's pointed finger, and enlarge the frame you will find a spider bout the size of the palm of your hand... plus dinners.
All of this is above a path that at least a hundred people a day walk on... I wonder how many notice it?
If classrooms are as stressful as emergency rooms, how can teachers be present for students in need? By practicing the skills of #emotionalintelligence, teachers can make high-stress situations more manageable. @EdSurge @TishJennings @YaleEmotion@YaleCSC https://t.co/IR720qapXh
