Just read “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds. It was a great story that I would read to my future class. Drawing takes talent and this book shows students art doesn’t have to be complicated, it can be as simple as a dot and still be beautiful.
A great technique that I observed for managing behavior while I was in the field was “Tamarana’s Tickets.” When students displayed a desirable behavior they would get a whole punch. At the end of the week, students were able to trade in completed tickets for a prize!
When I was observing a special education classroom, I noticed that the teacher had focus points for her students to look at when completing their individual work. I thought this was a simple and effective way to set expectations for students when they complete their work.
It is so important to consider the underlying cause to misbehaviors in the classroom. As educators, our daily interactions have the potential to positively or negatively impact a students school experience.
A3 consider the life lesson you want a child of 12 to remember at age 40 about you - would they recall being punished or forgiven by you for their disruptive misbehavior? Which will likely make them a better person? #satchat
This is a great classroom management strategy that I saw in the field today. When the students make it to the end of the week without losing a letter for undesirable behavior they get a star. When they get 4 stars they get a party. It is a great tool to encourage good behavior.
