Great classroom goal to round out the week! #CHAMPS
Goal: We can access all materials, workspaces, and essential locations without disturbing others. Create a natural traffic flow, assign seats, and place responsible students near areas that have the highest potential for distraction. #earlystageinterventions #safeandcivilschools

I always encourage teachers (and MYSELF) to look in the mirror and practice finding an emotionally neutral facial expression and vocal tone. What does it look and sound like? Return here when responding to misbehavior!
In times of stress, it is easy to fall into bad habits like emotional, angry reactions to student misbehavior. During these difficult times, most of us need to find daily ways to consciously prompt & monitor ourselves to ensure responses are calm and unemotional. #CHAMPS #DSC

When stressed, tired, or on edge about other things, these are the times to be most intentional about remaining emotionally neutral when a student is misbehaving. Take a deep breath and think before responding. Seek to act calm even if you don’t feel it

Greet your students. 👋🏼 At the door. 🚪 By name. 🗯 Every day. 📆
Strive to increase your ratio of positive interactions! Calling students by name & greeting them at the door are simple ways to start the day/class off with a focus on relationships. #CHAMPS #DSC

I’m a firm believer that this is the most underutilized while most important strategies...just recognize positives more than negatives. When we really do this, it is a game changer.

Active problem solving, solution oriented approaches, continuous improvement! As my dad always says, “misbehavior is a puzzle to be solved, not a threat to be removed” ~Randy Sprick
Just like we do with academics, we must continue to review, prioritize, revise, & implement our classroom management practices. Create a target & thoughtfully apply strategies that will help you & your students meet the goal. Celebrate successes & achieve together! #MTSS

In your classroom, does it benefit students more to behave appropriately or inappropriately? Which type of behavior do you acknowledge most often? #CHAMPS
Increasing positive interactions is especially effective with students engaging in attention-seeking misbehaviors. Catch them following expectations. Demonstrate that responsible behavior consistently results in positive attention. #CHAMPS #DSC

Will always remember the words of my dear friend @solsearcher, “Q-TIP!” Quit taking it personally!
Don't take student misbehavior personally! While it can be easy to become emotional with a student who exhibits repeated misbehavior, continue to lead in a professional and positive manner.  #safeandcivilschools

LEADERS!!! FIND JOY and PURPOSE in the PRESENT. Spending time thinking about what we don’t have takes away from spending time FINDING JOY in what we do. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #1minwalk2work #ImpactTheNarrative #HackingLeadership
