Learning to ask for help is an incredibly important life skill!

As obvious as this sounds, it's not always intuitive for individuals with social learning challenges. Learning to ask for help in the early years prepares individuals, as they get older, to self-advocate and not rely on others to anticipate their needs. Teaching different types of advocacy (stating one's opinion, negotiating, letting people know when you need something that you have not received, etc.) are all steps to add to a treatment or education plan.

Asking for help is also an important part of building workable and meaningful relationships with others. The person who never asks others for help or defaults to telling others what he or she knows, can be perceived as a "know it all" or arrogant.

Within the Social Thinking® framework, we include asking for help as part of the category of Initiation within the ILAUGH Model of Social Thinking. Here are some examples of ways to explore asking for help:

Establish a system for how to ask for help.Most students in a classroom raise their hand while looking in the direction of the teacher to indicate the need for help. If, after ongoing explanations and clear models of how to get help in this manner the student still does not use this strategy, then it's time to try another approach. For example, start with having the student simply flip a card on her desk to indicate, "I need help." Some students may benefit from having a visual cue card to hand to the teacher. These strategies can be very helpful to our less verbose or more anxious students. This is often a concrete, although temporary, solution to an abstract problem. Also, student with selective mutism may be willing to stand by the teacher's desk as a sign they need help. Continue to brainstorm different choices for different students.

Know your students' strategies -both constructive and problematic!Teachers and parents should be assessing the strategies a student uses to ask for help as well as avoidance techniques! We should also observe how often the individual uses these positive or negative strategies when doing homework, when working in class, etc. Sometimes students don't ask for help in a traditional manner but instead appear to have behavior problems (highly distracting to themselves and others) when unsure what to do. You may notice that this same student does not use these behaviors when highly engaged in a task that she understands.

Now in its third edition, is the bestselling resource that offers both new and seasoned teachers a hands-on guide brimming with practical advice, tips, checklists, reproducibles, and ready-to-use activities that get results. Discipline in the Secondary Classroom is written to be a teacher's go-to reference for designing a management plan that prevents problems, motivates students, and teaches students to behave responsibly.

Step by step, the book outlines an effective classroom management plan based on Randall S. Sprick's acclaimed STOIC framework. By following the STOIC approach, readers will learn how to prevent and calmly address misbehavior and confidently implement research-based strategies to maximize student motivation. The teacher-tested STOIC approach guides you through developing a classroom management plan that will:

S tructure and organize all settings to prompt responsible student behavior.

T each your expectations regarding how to behave responsibly within the structure you have created.

O bserve whether students are meeting expectations by physically circulating, visually scanning, and collecting meaningful data.

I nteract positively with students to build relationships and provide frequent, age-appropriate positive feedback.

C orrect irresponsible behavior fluently—calmly, consistently, immediately, briefly, respectfully, and (as much as possible) privately.

This accessible, value-packed resource shows educators how to create a well-managed classroom where learning flourishes. In addition, the companion DVD features short video lessons from discipline and classroom management expert Randall Sprick, along with a wealth of checklists, forms, peer discussion worksheets, and tools that are described within the book. The DVD also features three sets of ready-to-use graphic icons that educators can use to teach and display their classroom expectations.

"This book empowers educators to become behavior problem-solvers. Dr. Sprick has found a way to blend the science of behavior management with the art of teaching!"

— Lissa Vasquez, social emotional supports manager, Fresno Unified School District, California

"An extraordinary resource. This readable book is written with passion, and contains vivid examples and countless practical suggestions that can be readily implemented."

—From the foreword by Donald D. Deshler, director, University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning

When asked what skills they would most want their students to have upon graduation, parents, teachers and administrators agree:

Respect and Responsibility. The Key to those includes civility.

Research has found that mental and physical health, productivity and employee retention, customer relations, student achievement etc. all greatly suffer when work and social environments are uncivil. Additionally, when leaders and those held in high esteem in our culture behave in uncivil ways their behavior is modeled and repeated by others.

In this presentation, participants discover and practice the 8 Keys:

#1: GET THE PICTURE
Ask for their Why. What is their dream?

#2: RISK
Run to, not from. Choose the decision you would make if you had no fear.

#3: FULL RESPONSIBILITY
Move from B.C. (Blaming & Complaining) to A.D. (Acting & Dreaming).

#4: FEEL ALL YOUR FEELINGS
Honor all emotions as valid, including Mad (fire) and Sad (water).

#5: HONEST COMMUNICATION
Listen to what is behind their words. Let them know you hear them.

#6: FGH - FORGIVENESS of the Past
Release the past so that you can communicate in the present.

#7: FGH - GRATITUDE for the Present
Begin each encounter and each meeting with gratitude.

#8: FGH - HOPE for the Future
Keep on keeping on. The road to success is never a straight line.

13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do- Amy Morin

# data[].attributes.body
Posted by Kelsey Carbajo

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Mentally strong people have healthy habits. They manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in ways that set them up for success in life. Check out these things that mentally strong people don't do so that you too can become more mentally strong.

1. They Don't Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves

Mentally strong people don't sit around feeling sorry about their circumstances or how others have treated them. Instead, they take responsibility for their role in life and understand that life isn't always easy or fair.

2. They Don't Give Away Their Power

They don't allow others to control them, and they don't give someone else power over them. They don't say things like, "My boss makes me feel bad," because they understand that they are in control over their own emotions and they have a choice in how they respond.

3. They Don't Shy Away from Change

Mentally strong people don't try to avoid change. Instead, they welcome positive change and are willing to be flexible. They understand that change is inevitable and believe in their abilities to adapt.

4. They Don't Waste Energy on Things They Can't Control

You won't hear a mentally strong person complaining over lost luggage or traffic jams. Instead, they focus on what they can control in their lives. They recognize that sometimes, the only thing they can control is their attitude.

5. They Don't Worry About Pleasing Everyone

Mentally strong people recognize that they don't need to please everyone all the time. They're not afraid to say no or speak up when necessary. They strive to be kind and fair, but can handle other people being upset if they didn't make them happy.

6. They Don't Fear Taking Calculated Risks

They don't take reckless or foolish risks, but don't mind taking calculated risks. Mentally strong people spend time weighing the risks and benefits before making a big decision, and they're fully informed of the potential downsides before they take action.

7. They Don't Dwell on the Past

Mentally strong people don't waste time dwelling on the past and wishing things could be different. They acknowledge their past and can say what they've learned from it. However, they don't constantly relive bad experiences or fantasize about the glory days. Instead, they live for the present and plan for the future.

8. They Don't Make the Same Mistakes Over and Over

They accept responsibility for their behavior and learn from their past mistakes. As a result, they don't keep repeating those mistakes over and over. Instead, they move on and make better decisions in the future.

9. They Don't Resent Other People's Success

Mentally strong people can appreciate and celebrate other people's success in life. They don't grow jealous or feel cheated when others surpass them. Instead, they recognize that success comes with hard work, and they are willing to work hard for their own chance at success.

10. They Don't Give Up After the First Failure

They don't view failure as a reason to give up. Instead, they use failure as an opportunity to grow and improve. They are willing to keep trying until they get it right.

11. They Don't Fear Alone Time

Mentally strong people can tolerate being alone and they don't fear silence. They aren't afraid to be alone with their thoughts and they can use downtime to be productive. They enjoy their own company and aren't dependent on others for companionship and entertainment all the time but instead can be happy alone.

12. They Don't Feel the World Owes Them Anything

They don't feel entitled to things in life. They weren't born with a mentality that others would take care of them or that the world must give them something. Instead, they look for opportunities based on their own merits.

13. They Don't Expect Immediate Results

Whether they are working on improving their health or getting a new business off the ground, mentally strong people don't expect immediate results. Instead, they apply their skills and time to the best of their ability and understand that real change takes time.

"It's Monday morning and George walks out the front door to his car and a flat tire. But this is the least of his problems. His home life is in shambles and his team at work is in disarray. With a big new product launch coming up in 2 weeks for the NRG-2000 he has to find a way to get it together or risk losing his marriage and job. Forced to take the bus to work, George meets a unique kind of bus driver and an interesting set of characters (passengers) that over the course of 2 weeks share the 10 rules for the ride of his life... and attempt to help him turn around his work and team and save his job and marriage from an almost inevitable destruction."
In the mode of other best selling business fables The Energy Bus, by Jon Gordon, takes readers on an enlightening and inspiring ride that reveals 10 secrets for approaching life and work with the kind of positive, forward thinking that leads to true accomplishment - at work and at home. Everyone faces challenges. And every person, organization, company and team will have to overcome negativity and adversity to define themselves and create their success. No one goes through life untested and the answer to these tests is positive energy-the kind of positive energy consisting of vision, trust, optimism, enthusiasm, purpose, and spirit that defines great leaders and their teams. Drawing upon his experience and work with thousands of leaders, sales professionals, teams, non-profit organizations, schools, and athletes, Gordon infuses this engaging story with keen insights, actionable strategies and a big dose of positive infectious energy. For managers and team leaders or anyone looking to turn negative energy into positive achievement The Energy Bus provides a powerful roadmap to overcome common life and work obstacles and bring out the best in yourself and your team. When you get on The Energy Bus you'll enjoy the ride of your life!

"If you want to fuel your family, your career, your team, and your organization with spirit, read this book. Jon's energy and advice will leap off the page and help you cultivate positive energy in everything you do-and you will make the world a better place for your having been here. Thanks, Jon, for pumping us up and making sure we get on the right bus."
- Ken Blanchard, Co-author of The One Minute Manager® and Leading at a Higher Level

"Jon Gordon's concept of the Chief Energy Officer teaches us that attitude alignment isn't just little but a non-linear leap that makes the ultimate difference between abundance or lack of happiness, success, performance, motivation, ability to be team oriented, and our reality of achieving our personal goals in all parts of our lives."
-Ken Fisher, CEO of Fisher Investments, Forbes columnist, author of The Only Three Questions That Count

" The Energy Bus is more than a book. It is a great tool for building a winning team. Every team or person, who wants to be a champion, will face adversity. There are "Energy Vampires" on every team. I use this book as a reference to assist me in turning a negative into a positive."
- Doc Rivers, Head Coach, Boston Celtics

" The Energy Bus is a game changer that I could not put down. It is so easy to get distracted by what everybody else is doing and saying that we forget who controls OUR journey. The Energy Bus reminds us that we drive our BUS and that we are responsible for the road that we are traveling on. Our main goal at Northwestern is to empower young women to make a positive difference in the world. The Energy Bus will either get you started or get you re-started on this mission."
- Kelly Amonte Hiller, Head Coach Northwestern Women's Lacrosse

"The world would be a much better place if we all focused on being positive. Jon is 'the Pastor of Positive Energy" and I'm one of his believers."
- Danny Gans, Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year

"Jon so inspired our sales professionals with his positive energy that they were asking for more. Now, here is his philosophy in a book we can read and quote - and we will!"
- Linda H. Sherrer, President and CEO, Prudential Network Realty

"Given the challenges and adversity we face in business and life today, Jon Gordon provides a clear roadmap to navigate the negativity and pit falls that too often sabotage individual and team success as he shines a light on the truths that define great leaders, great teams and great energy. I especially loved the part about leading with purpose. I consider this a valuable book for anyone looking to bring out the best in themselves and their team."
- Tom Gegax, founder of Tires Plus and author of The Big Book of Small Business

"If you want to build a positive, high performing organization then get on the bus and read this book."
-Jeffrey Fox, bestselling author of Secrets of Great Rainmakers

"Negative energy can cripple companies at worst and make them less productive at best. If you are not making energy a part of your business strategy you are missing the bus. Use Jon's techniques to cultivate positive energy in yourself then in your team and watch your profits grow..."

Do you have students in your schools who are chronically disrespectful, physically assaultive, disruptive, or unresponsive? Are teachers spending too much time correcting the behavior of a very few very difficult students?

You can change that.

A consistent, district-based behavior management plan supported by your entire staff can help you:

Implement evidence-based behavior support procedures for students with targeted and intensive needs

Reduce the number of students who "fall through the cracks"

Improve staff ability to individualize behavior management and to intervene early with evidence-based interventions

Reduce unnecessary referrals to Special Education

Foster student success in the least restrictive settings

Improve relationships with students and staff

Develop a culture of data-driven decision making for behavioral interventions

Safe & Civil Schools can help you achieve these benefits throughout your district.

***Implementing Interventions

A Safe & Civil Schools associate will train your general education teaching staff to consistently and comprehensively implement an agreed-upon set of Tier I interventions in the early stages of misbehavior. Additional days of training target district special education teachers, support staff, and intervention planning teams. These additional days focus on how to work collaboratively with teachers to implement Tier II interventions that address a variety of misbehaviors executed by students with intensive needs - from physically dangerous or disruptive behavior to chronic interruptions or poor work habits.

Solving the challenge...

Teachers can't always control what comes into their classrooms. Capturing Kids' Hearts 1 shows them how to create high-achieving centers of learning by strengthening students' connectedness to others through enhancing healthy bonds with their teachers and establishing collaborative agreements of acceptable behavior.

Capturing Kids' Hearts 1 is a process that is working in thousands of classrooms across the country to provide the strategy and training for teachers and administrators to achieve success in today's classrooms.

Give us a teacher who's passionate about their subject, a teacher who cares for the welfare and success of their students, and we'll give that teacher the tools they need to engage and challenge students, and raise them to a higher level of performance.

participant Outcomes

Our research-based processes improve the five key indicators of school performance: fewer discipline referrals, improved attendance, higher student achievement, lower dropout rates, and higher teacher satisfaction. The widespread impact of Capturing Kids' Hearts 1 reads like a wish list for school administrators. Schools that implement our processes report:

Strengthened student connectedness to others by enhancing healthy bonds with teachers.

Consistent rules of conduct with reduced disciplinary escalations and referrals.

Dramatic reduction in truancy and dropouts.

Reduction of negative behaviors such as isolation, violence, early sexuality, and substance use.

Significant improvement in student academic performance.

District-wide improvements in test scores.

Higher rate of job satisfaction among teachers.

Increased teacher retention and improvement in teacher recruiting.

approach

Capturing Kids' Hearts 1 is an immersive, participatory experience. Teachers, staff, and administrators learn and practice skills they will use and model in their classrooms, schools, and districts, including:

How to build meaningful, productive relationships with every student and every colleague.

How to use the EXCEL Model of teaching to create a safe, effective environment for learning.

How to develop self-managing, high-performing classrooms using team-building skills and a Social Contract.

High payoff techniques for dealing with conflict, negative behavior, and disrespect issues.

Capturing Kids' Hearts 1 is the beginning of a transformational, multi-year process for teachers and administrators at the campus or district level.

Avokiddo Emotions -- Playful Learning for Kids is a creative play app that encourages kids to get goofy with props and then tune in to the animal characters' emotions in response to the props. With three adorable characters and more than 100 props, kids can feed ice cream to the zebra, plant a pumpkin on the sheep's head, or dress up the giraffe to look like the next top chef out for a night of disco dancing. Tap the sheep, the giraffe, or the zebra to bring that character to center stage. Props appear, and kids choose the ones they'd like to use with the animal. Kids can take a photo if they'd like to save a scene. Swipe the lever for more props, or return to the home page to choose another animal. The props fall into the scenes in batches of five to nine items, which limits kids' choices, and only one of the three animals is interactive at a time. As kids create scenes with the props, the animals show expressions of humor, displeasure, happiness, and more, depending on the props kids choose. There are also backgrounds that appear to help set the scene, plus funny sound effects.
