If you only work on building relationships when there is time, you will never build relationships. Relationships must be prioritized.

A7: I really enjoyed this book study! Everybody gets a chance to voice their thoughts. Plus it is in print so I can always go back to look at everyone's great ideas. I will definitely do this again!#HackingSchoolDiscipline#IRESthebest
A5: I like how the authors talk about "umbrella" behaviors. Kindness is such an important expectation that could be nurtured more in our school. Maybe we could spotlight different actions of kindness. #HackingSchoolDiscipline#IRESthebest
A3: I believe restorative practices are a great way to bring students and teachers together and build trust and relationships. #HackingSchoolDiscipline#IRESthebest
A2: I think it is important that students know that they can't fix everything for everybody but that doesn't mean they don't care. Giving examples of what empathy is not will cue students to recognize this.#HackingSchoolDiscipline#IRESthebest
A5: I also liked the 3 they mentioned in the book. I also think Be Kind to Others would work! One kind word or action from another student or a teacher can change a student’s mindset!❤️#Hackingschooldiscipline#IRESthebest
A4: This is exactly what CHAMPS classroom expectations does. The students know what they are suppose to be doing and what it looks like. Verbal and visual reminders help students stay on track. #Hackingschooldiscipline#IRESthebest
A3: I build a positive and nurturing classroom by getting to know the students, taking an interest in them and letting them have a voice. #Hackingschooldiscipline#IRESthebest
A2: if the situation can not be remedied by the teacher and the behavior is interfering with the other students’ learning, removal of the student might be necessary until they calm down. If they are being disruptive, learning is not taking place.
