When a student acts inappropriately ask: "Why do you think that is okay?" "How can you help fix this situation?" "What can we do differently next time?" Questions build reflection. Reflection builds change. #PositiveDiscipline #StudentBehavior #BehaviorIntervention

Hear What Not How...When working with challenging students, hear what they are saying—not how they are saying it. Their how often ruins their what. #Education #TeachingTips #StudentSuccess #EdChat #TeacherLife

Stop using the term "behavior problem" when discussing students. Behaviors are not the problems, but rather the solutions kids are choosing to their problems. We just need to show them a better way to solve their problems! #BehaviorSupport #TeachingTips

Behavior improves when students: -feel connected to the teacher, one another & the curriculum -believe success is possible -feel respected -are given responsibility #StudentBehavior #PositiveEducation

Hey teachers what do you think is the #1 skill needed to be successful in school? Why?

For the past year, @EddieShepp and I have been digging deep into a mindset shift we’ve seen in Canada that has had huge implications for consumer behaviour, politics, and the workplace. We’ve brought together all our research and spent some time working through what it means for

Some adults in school are good at pouring gasoline on a tiny fire. Not saying kid isn't at fault, rude, disrespectful, etc. Simply asking do you pour water or gasoline? The goal is to defuse every time.

Sick of kids saying "That's Not Fair!" Here's a prevention strategy that works. #teachers #edleaders

2 words teachers should try eliminating..."I need..." Try instead... "Thank you for... "What do you think about..." "I would appreciate it if..." Thanking someone before they do something is a game changer! Try it! #TeachingTips

Strategies to Avoid Arguments with Students: 1. Q.T.I.P. (Quit Taking It Personally) 2. Say what you need to say, then walk away. 2nd to last word person. 3. Hear WHAT they say, not HOW they say it. #TeachingTips #ClassroomManagement #EdChat #Teacher #SPED #BehaviorManagement

Power struggles don't help learning - calm responses do. When we stop trying to win the moment/argument and start protecting the relationship, then arguments lose their power.

Who's in? 🍳 Planning ahead for this weekend's hangover cure: the Shakshuka

Respect changes behavior faster than control ever will with challenging students.

More tips for managing students: 1. Stay personally connected without taking personally what they do and say 2. Easiest way to defuse someone is to agree with them 3. Changing behaviors is a roller coaster ride w/ ups & downs 4. 2nd to last word is best to avoid power struggles

Tips for managing students: 1. You can't control other people, only how you respond to other people. 2. Discomfort is the appetizer for growth. You can't grow without some discomfort. 3. Listen to students without expectations. 4. Every day is a new day. Don't hold grudges!

When an admin asks you why you are sending them your students, tell them this...

Teach students to pick their heads up in class. Not because it's disrespectful to the teacher, but because if you don't hold your own head high, why would others think highly of you? It's about respect & dignity for them, not us. #thatonekid

2 magic defusing words, "I'm sorry!" When a kid is yelling at you keep repeating these words until the student calms down. If they ask, "what are you sorry for?" Say, I am sorry for whatever I did or someone else did in this class to make you that upset. #TeachingTips

How to respond when a student says "I don't know". I tell students to pretend they knew or take a guess. This lowers their guard down. We already established that you don't know so no harm in venturing a guess. This strategy works more than 50% of the time. Thoughts? #teachers

Remember publicly praising someone is often as embarrassing as publicly correcting someone.

All teachers, not just SPED teachers, should learn instructional strategies that support students with learning differences. #thatonekid #teachers
