1- Neutralize Arguing

  • Go "Brain Dead" 
  • Pick a one liner
  • "I know, but what did I say?" "I'm sure it seems that way"
  • Do not attempt to think- Stay "Brain Dead"
  • If they continue...give em options
Don't argue with the students, give them the one liner.

Don't argue with students, give them a one liner:
More examples:
"Probably so."
"I know."
"Nice try."
"I bet it feels that way."
"What do you think you're going to do."
"I don't know. What do you think?"
"Bummer. How sad."
"Thanks for sharing that."
"Don't worry about it now."
"That's an option."
"I bet that's true."
"Maybe you'll like what we have for the next meal better."
"What do you think I think about that?"
"I'm not sure how to react to that. I'll have to get back to you on it."
"I'll let you know what will work for me."
"I'll love you wherever you live."

2- Delay Consequences

  • No Warnings
  • "Try not to worry, I'll get back to it later"
  • Ask for suggestions
  • Pick appropriate consequences
  • Plug the holes in your plan
Delaying consequences gives you time to think about an appropriate consequence or as a peer.

3- Empathy

  • Deliver consequence with empathy, not sympathy
  • Keep it short, sweet, simple and repetitive
  • No sarcasm, be genuine and empathetic
  • Sad not Mad. Sad not Mad. Sad not Mad
Empathy: When you understand and feel another’s feelings for yourself.

Sympathy: You have compassion for that person, but you don’t necessarily feel their feelings.

You understand their feelings but you don't feel sorry for them.

4- The Recovery Process

  • Recover is not time-out
  • Used to minimize student's ability to interfere w/ class
  • Giving them time to get themselves together...alone
  • Don't send work
  • Teacher attitude is you WANT student in class
This can look different in room to room. Keep students in your class as long as they aren't harming or threatening other students.

5- Develop Positive Relationships

  • Focus on nonacademic strengths 
  • "I noticed" technique
  • Smile, Smile, Smile!
  • Just listen, no lecture, or embarrasement
  • Find a teacher to "tag team" with
Positive relationships may take some time but work at it.

Spend time getting to know your students. 2 minutes for each student a day does wonders to a classroom.

You can do this walking to specialists, lunch, etc.

6- Limits & Enforceable Statments

  • Limits are set by adult
  • "I will teach when it is quiet"
  • "I call on students who raise their hand"
  • Enforce limits and do not engage in arguing
  • "How do you get my attention?"
  • Turn your words into gold
Remind yourself by setting up sticky notes to remind yourself of these limits and enforceable statements. This puts the responsibility on the students, not you.

Instead of "Stop talking" try saying "I will begin when it is quiet"

7- Use Choices to Prevent Struggle

  • Give little choices
  • Give choices that won't cause a problem
  • Only choices that fit your rules/system
  • Pick choice after 10 seconds
  • "Feel free to do this in pen or pencil"
Little choices make all the difference. If the choice isn't going to cause a problem, let students do it.

8- Quick and Easy Interventions

  • Change student location 
  • "Please save that behavior for later"
  • Eye contact with a head shake
  • Get closer to student 
  • Give choices
Non-verbal inventions work wonders in the class. Make a secret sign for you and a student who may need some extra interventions.

9- Have kids solve own problems

  • Empathy "I bet that stinks"
  • Send Power Message "What can you do?"
  • Offer choices "Would you like some options?"
  • Have student state consequences "How would that work?"
  • Give permission to solve problem "I hope it works out for you"
Put the problems on the students, don't solve it for them. Allow them to solve their own problems.
