1.) An educator can change that mindset by maybe sitting down with them maybe with the school counselor and seeing what the root of the problem for the child is. Or sitting down with them one and one and really trying to understand. They should try to have more of an open mind, and patience with children who are a bit more difficult than others. I definitely think the educator should believe it is their job to help the student. We don't necessarily know what happens behind closed doors of a student's home, and we have to be there for them trying to help them be a better version of themselves.
2.) When an educators sees violence and bulling I think they should stand up for the child getting bullied, and definitely send that kid to the school counselor, and get the parents involved for they can try to help to prevent that from happening again. Also, do anti-bully programs in schools.

One of the methods, I believe, to combat the concept of “bad kid” is to reflect upon how you personally approach the child when it comes to disciplinary issues. You don’t want to get to the point where you always have the student get under your skin. Doing show will inevitably lead to a personal “vendetta” against the student. This means that no matter what the student does, you will constantly view them as the one who does not know how to be respectful, obedient, caring, etc. Your actions will speak louder than words and your students will begin to inherit your train of thought. They will start saying to themselves, “well our teacher is always yelling at them so they must be bad.” This too may lead to them purposefully blaming the bad student for things they did not do. Therefore, as educators, and more so guardians, we should talk with the student rather than automatically scorn them. Sometimes all the student wants is to be heard and befriended. Get to know their likes and dislikes.

In terms of bullying, I feel that the issue is growing because of the nonchalant attitude some educators take towards it. While many times it is in fact cumbersome, some students approach the teacher telling of how a student hit them. Sometimes we will simply write this off as tattling and tell them not to do it again. But this form of nonchalant response could make the “victim” feel as if you aren’t doing anything about it so what’s the point in telling you anymore. Other times, educators will say, children are just being kids. They will fight and argue….it’s part of growing up. While this is true, we don’t think of how this affects the “bully” in the long run. If they aren’t being disciplined while they are young, they will simply grow up thinking that it is ok to continue with their actions. Educators should be vigilant in putting a stop to bullying. They should enforce good behavior inside the classroom and take heed to how students behave during other activities such as lunch and recess.

I think to change how you look at someone you need to have an open mind.  The educator must be willing to try to understand the root of the issues in the student.  The educator must also be very patient, especially since they are dealing with children.  In my opinion when you are an educator you should already have the mindset that it is your duty to help the student.  They should. look at all students that way.

Well first they need to know why students are being bullied and it usually because the person who is the bully thinks the other child is different from them.  It is the educators job to teach the children that they are all equal as well as showing it through their actions as well.

1) It is easier to label difficult students as bad kids, but as a teacher it is our job to reach out to every student in our classrooms. Teaching has its challenges, but we have to be open minded, so we can dig a little deeper in to what might be causing the bad behavior. It is important as a teacher to understand what student is feeling that might be causing him to act in an undesirable manner. For example, a student might act out because he is having a hard time understanding the assignment, so as a teacher it is my job to understand what is it behind the behavior, and then try different management strategies to set clear expectation for students. Communication is the key to making sure  that student are able to share their feeling, and understand that as a teacher, we care and want them to do their best, so they can be successful academically.
2- As a teacher, it is our responsibility to confront stereotypes, and have open discussions with our students about bullying and violence. Unfortunately, we have seen a surge in violence in recent years, so it is important for the teachers to be prepare for these discussions. It is the job of an educator to set clear expectations from the beginning that no form of bullying will be tolerated. The teachers can also focus on teaching problem solving skills to their students from a young age. They should encourage students to resolve conflicts by having an open line of communication, where every one is heard. Educators should also educate themselves in spotting signs of anger and isolation, so they can have discussion with their students about how to manage their behaviors. Having open lines of communication with parents can also help combat bullying and violence inside the classroom.

How might educators change the mindset of “that’s just a bad kid” to “It’s my job to help this student?” Violence and bullying is increasing in schools. What’s the role of the educator?  The attitudes that we ourselves bring into the class room of how we think students should behave greatly affect how students get classified, or referred as having a behavior or emotional disorder. Perhaps the student isn’t really “being bad” but just expressing himself in a way that is acceptable according to his culture background.  We need to have a firm grasp and understanding of the tell tale signs for behavior disorders so that we can offer aid and support services to families, so that the student can be helped.

Violence and bullying is increasing in schools. What’s the role of the educator?

We need to make sure that the entire student body need to be taught appropriate behavior expectations, school based character education and anti-bullying programs.

1)      Educators can change the mindset of believing “that’s just a bad kid” for themselves and their peers by first approaching each child who is challenging with an open mind and a true to desire to view the issue from a holistic perspective. If we as educators approach the behavior knowing that it in itself is only a manifestation of a deeper underlying issue as most behavior usually is, then we automatically remove some of our own bias/prejudice regarding the situation. Also educators can approach challenging behavior with the mindset that not one single child sets out to be challenging. No matter how the educator may feel, they must not perceive the behavior as personal. When educators are able to free themselves of personal biases/prejudices and realize that ultimately the student is an individual with real thoughts/ideas/problems that they can begin to realize that it is their job as an educator to help all children no matter how challenging reach their ultimate academic potential.

2)      The role of an educator with regard to violence and bullying that occurs in the school is that of an advocate. Educators needn’t be afraid to speak up whether it is to their class, school staff, or even the ptsa board. When violence and bullying are the topics of discussion or the issues at hand, silence is the same as consent.

# data[].attributes.body
My attitude towards changing educators thinking about "bad kids" may be a little optimistic, but I'm a big believer that it comes down to empathy. And that can mean educators empathizing with the student- "How would I want to be taught if I were in this student's position?"- or it may even be easier for the educator to empathize with the parent- "If my child were in this position how would I want them to be treated in the school building?". I think that when asked to mentally assume one of those positions most educators would become more patient, understanding, and dedicated to their challenging students. As a counselor, that can be a question I ask of frustrated teachers to help them take a new perspective.

When it comes to violence and bullying in schools, my colleagues and I talk a lot about making sure kids know where safe places and people in the school are located. Finding a "trusted adult", an advocate for those targeted by bullying, is critical  for stopping that habitual aggression in any form. We can then work with both the target and the aggressor, building care and resiliency in each, to help foster a better climate in our schools.

1. I think it is truly important that  all educators to adjust their mindset and stop referring to these children as "bad". I think a better way to look at is misguided or in real need of help. That would be the first step in helping them realize that is their job to help these children. It's almost like taking an oath. When a teacher receives their certification, they should look at everything they are doing and ensure they are helping each child to the best of their ability. No matter if it's academically or socially, it is very important. It's important as educators that we remember to be a support system in these children's lives because we do not  know what their home life completely consist of. By us being an important model for them, it may just help them stop receiving that label of being a "bad kid".

2. With the increase of violence and bullying in the schools, it is very important for educators to take a stance. I like the idea of incorporating a new subject in the schools. Just as educators spend time teaching about math, science and English, teaching about the importance of not being violent, or what to do if being bullied should be a new implemented subject as well. I think in doing this there is no way that a child is not educated on this topic. In addition, educators need to pay close attention to how their students act socially. Not turning a blind eye to early signs of a child being bullied or being a bully can help save a child.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think educators should personally reflect on their treatment of children with problematic behaviors to help shift their mindset. They need to look at the student not as a burden, but as an actual person who might be struggling. Teachers should try to remember their own problematic behaviors from childhood and how the way their own teachers handled it either benefitted them or made them hate the teacher. Also educating themselves on the function of problematic behaviors to get to the root of the problem can help with changing the mindset of the child just doing it to annoy you/be a bad kid.

2. Educators should be a role model in the classroom. They should set the example by being kind and respectful to all of their students, even if one is being annoying or frustrating the teacher. Kids pick up on when we are treating their classmates differently, so we should make sure we never treat a child poorly. Educators also need to make sure they are looking out for warning signs that a child is being bullied and intervene when necessary.

Q1: There are several ways that educators can change their mindset of believing that a child is just a "bad kid." One way is to first try to figure out why the kid is acting out in the first place, because it could be for a number of reasons. It might be because their personal/home life isnt okay, or it might be because they just do not get the content that you are asking them to identify. Once you find out what it is that is bothering them, you can come to a solution on how to best help the student out. As future educators it is our job that we do not simply cast off a student to the side because they are being "bad" it is our job to adjust to their needs and make changes as needed to better suit them.
Q2: Our role as the educator in dealing with bullying is to address it, and not simply sweep it under the rug. I feel that many times educators ignore comments that students make in regards to other students thinking that they are just horseplaying. But there is a very thin line with that, because we never know how those words affect another students and what impact it makes on them. So I believe that it is my duty to address any situation that even resembles bullying so that it does not escalate into something further.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally believe that educators should always have the "it's my job" mentality; however, I do understand how that may be difficult at times. Teachers are often under a lot pressure and that can often lead to stress. Negatively labeling a student may often come without thinking, but moving away from such a mentality is important. By understanding where the student is coming from, the teacher can better help with their behavior problems.
I believe that goes hand in hand with the issues regarding violence and bullying; in one of my other education classes I recently read an article concerning both those topics. The student took violent action in response to bullying--the article also stated that the student felt like he had no support from his teachers. I think teachers should always be there to listen to their students and ready to help. Teachers impact their students so much, and by letting them know they are supported, I think, many problems could be resolved.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers can change the mind set of "that's just a bad kid" by being empathetic.  Teachers have to understand that when a child behaves a certain way, there is always a reason. Whether it is for attention, or because a student is stressed,  a teacher should have the ability to put themselves in the shoes of their students. Teachers should always try to understand why each student act the way that they do.

As a teacher myself, and working with young children for a very long time, I have noticed that bullying usually starts with the educator. Because they are the leaders of the classroom, they have the ability to show the children how to treat each other. I often seen teachers talk to or about children in a negative way, then see the children talk about the same child. Teachers set the example for how their students treat one another. Also, when teachers see bullying it is their job to address it immediately and appropriately.

# data[].attributes.body
Q1. By understanding the individual problem with this student and helping him to get better in his daily performance and also visit the community where the student resides and if possible  engage with the family to gain an understanding of the student's support system to avoid negative mindsets.
Q2. As an educator you should be very vigilant or whats going on in the classroom and hallways. The educator should always report any incident of bullying.Monitor areas where bullying can be expected such as bathrooms, lunch room and on the school bus.Provide classroom activities and discussions related to bullying and violence including the harm that they cause and strategies to reduce their incidence. Involve students in establishing classroom rules against bullying and steps they can take if they see it happening.

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of this has already been said, but the teacher is responsible for setting the example that the other students follow. If a teacher holds judgment or disdain for a child because of their behavioral challenges, the other students can sense that and will respond accordingly.

One way I like to think about behavior is that it's always an attempt to communicate something. The book talks about how behavior always serves a function - perhaps it is to get out of a dreaded math class or to seek attention. But I think a more positive way to word this is that behavior is always an attempt to communicate a need. If you think a child is engaging in attention seeking behavior, a good question to ask is, "How might this child not be getting the attention he or she needs to thrive." Teaching children how to express their needs and get them me appropriately will not only help them succeed in school but in every aspect of their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Actions speak louder than words, so the first step to changing mindsets is changing behaviors. I would definitely research and understand how no child is considered to be "bad". We all are human and we all have to respect the fact that everyone is made differently. So for example a students reaction to a test might not always be a positive one, but that child reaction does not make him a "bad kid".
2. With violence and bullying increasing in schools , it is the educator's role to be the protector, the mediator, and the wisdom of any situation. With violence the answer is never more violence so guiding students in the direction to think before acting , and learn proper procedure of how to deescalate any violent situation. Then with bullying it is the educators job to make sure both parties know the seriousness of bullying and why it has to be taken seriously and not for a joke. And to also report anything that is bullying.

1. The best way to begin changing the mindset of “that’s just a bad kid” to “it’s my job to help this student” is to first understand cultural differences. In the book, it talks about how in the Thai culture, students who are extremely shy or fight frequently are not seen as problematic and will grow out of it, whereas here in the states, we see this as a cry for professional help. Things that could help educators may be to eliminate factors including biases (intentional or unintentional), understanding the values and behaviors between the culture of the educator and the student. and overall discrimination. Some student face difficulties at home that transfer into the classroom, it is the teachers job to either help the student or let him/her fall through the cracks.
2. When it comes to bullying and school violence, it is the educators role to create a safe classroom for all students. The educator needs to first stop the bullying and second understand why the bully is acting out violently against other students.

# data[].attributes.body
The way to change the mindset of “that’s just a bad kind” to “it’s my job to help this student” is to remember it’s not the student who is bad but it’s the behavior. We first need to understand and classify their behaviors. Then know that all behavior happens for a reason. For example, there is a student who loves to play with his/her friend during recess time but giving a bad attitude in math class. The reason for the bad attitude is because student believes that he/she is not good at math from previous experience. In this case, teacher’s job is to give him/her an extra care during the math class because it is their job to help this student to success.

The role of the educator in violence and bullying is to take care of all students. I believe that teachers can easily see which students are getting bully if they take care and give close attention to all students. Furthermore, teachers need to offer a support and be open mind to the student so that he/she can ask for help. Lastly, teachers can also give sort of group activity for students to practicing working together as a group. Finally and most importantly, teachers will need to talk both students’ parents, whose getting bullying and giving bullying and tell them the situation and work together to solve the issue.

Q.1: It is important for educators to understand behavior because appropriate and inappropriate behavior differ between cultures. Educators are the decisive element in the classroom, and they have tremendous power to help children. Teachers should try to understand why a kid might be acting the way he does. A lot of times some kids live in broken homes and chaotic environments, or are experiencing stress and an absence of supportive networks. An approach to help could be to be more tolerant, become more curious about the child and become more patient, sensitive, a good listener and fair and consistent with all children including the ones with emotional disturbances.

Q.2: The role of the educator is to work to create a culture that’s safe and supportive. This means teaching students to be welcoming of others, not matter what race, religion, ethnicity, etc… This also includes monitoring traditional bullying hot spots and encouraging students to open up about incidents of bullying so they can be addressed by you, and other staff members, immediately. As a teacher, take the time to walk the halls with your students and keep an eye out for any bullying behavior. If you see it, stop it immediately. Not only does this disrupt potentially detrimental behavior, but it lets students know that you and your peers are watching out for it and that it won’t be tolerated at all.

Q1:Educators are placed under so many restrictions due to the standards and curriculum that they are unable to acknowledge each child's unique personality. Becoming more open minded by introducing activities that allow children to encourage each other thus lessening the behavior problems. Allowing a child to enter his/her comfort zone will reduce the child from showing over emotion towards a situation.
Q2: Bullying is something that should not be placed to the side in order to finish a lesson plan. Bringing awareness to the situation will allow both students understand how crucial bullying is. Teachers have the ability to create early prevention to dissolve the issue at hand.

# data[].attributes.body
First and foremost, educators should set a good example: Don't engage in any behavior you would rather your students don't engage in, especially in front of them! Try and relate with your students, finding commonalities in hobbies and tastes. Be friendly, even if we can't be friends. And don't at all tolerate bullying or violence. Suitably punish such behavior and do not tolerate it.

# data[].attributes.body
Educators not only teach children but we influence them as well. A plethora of our students will view us as role models and value our opinions. It is our job to build and uplift each child, not to break them. By having a "that's just a bad kid" mentality not only are we dismissing the child's cry for help but we are giving up on them. We need to show compassion and love to each child. We can start this process by connecting to the students and defining any issues they may have. We have to confront all the problems before they can be solved but we must do this kindly and with patience. We have to be careful with our word choice try not to use a condescending tone. We have to remember that we chose to be educators because we wanted to share our knowledge as well as our love!
2. As educators we must protect our students as if they were our little cubs. We need to intervene as soon as an incident occurs and not just stand by. We should be observant and create an open door policy so the students will feel comfortable with the instructor. Setting a relaxed, comfortable environment for the children will allow them to open up and share personal details about their life. I will take note and pay special attention to students that may be at risk. Hopefully, this is will prevent bullying or violence in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Educators can change from the mindset of "thats just a bad kid" to "It's my job to help this student" by being more open minded and educated on not only the student but also the possibilities that the student could have more going on that the teacher doesn't know about. It is the educators job to look out for their students and do as much as they can to help their students succeed in everything they do. It is important to confront the chid about their actions that are raising issues within the classroom so that you can get to the bottom of the situation. It's never good to jump to conclusions about kids when you don't know anything about their background if they're being bullied in school or if they have issues at home that you're not aware of. It is also important for the educator to have an open relationship with their students. It's important for the kids to know that they can talk to you and they need to have trust in you so that they feel comfortable coming to you for help when they need it instead of acting out even more.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Educators should start by getting to know the student on a personal level. Getting to know a students situation could help the educators in better understanding where the student is coming from. They may be acting up due to house hold problems or lack of attention. Children are always being mislabeled due to educators over looking the cries for help. Educators do not take the time to sit with a student in solving the problem head on, but rather resort to kicking them out of class, giving them punishments such as detentions and shunning them from participating in class room discussions. As educators we find it an excuse to use these tactics or ideology is simple we are to busy and it is not our problem, let someone else take care of this matter. For this reason students do not receive the proper help required and tend to keep struggling throughout their academic careers.
2. Bullying is a major topic that is occurring on a constant basis. Before students would bully in school and would be reported and served punishments in hopes that it would not cause them to do it again. With technology on the fingertips of most students bullying is reaching students at home. Teachers should be vigilant in seeking students who have an history of bullying and are timid in class. These students will start lacking in attendance. They will also isolate themselves from the class. Teachers should catch on to these signs early and create prevention's.

1. Educators can shift their thinking by being more open-minded. I think attitude can change drastically if individuals are more understanding and do not follow stereotypes. Thinking about other factors that may influence a student’s behavior could radically change the teacher’s perspective. Also, the educator should remember that the students are acting that way because they may be under stressful circumstances. By interacting with the students, educators can know if the student is having problems in their personal lives.
2.  Educators understand how violence and bullying affect students in their academic and personal lives. It should not be treated lightly. Every instructor should know the implications and consequences of bullying. I think it is their job to be aware of what happens in and outside the classroom. I mean to be attentive to the students and pay attention to cues of bullying amongst the students. Also, the educators should set the example of how to be a kind, responsible, and understanding individuals because they are with the students for a large number of hours daily.

As educators, it is so imperative to consider the factors that enable poor behavioral performances in the classroom. The mindset of "that's just a bad kid," must be corrected with factual reason. Also, we must consider person first language. We must address the student as a child who displays poor behavior at times, rather than the student being just a "bad kid." Also its important to know that if we as educators label a student as a "bad kid," then we are essentially blaming that child for things he or she simply cannot control. That is very dangerous and can only yield to an increase in potentially poor behavior. In order to shift the mentality, we must as stated before, consider the student first, and offer our assistance and guidance to help rectify and correct the behavioral issues. We must be patient, understanding and well educated on how best to address the issues, rather than assuming the worst and labeling the students.

Ultimately, as an educator it is our job to put the overall well-being of our students before all else. We must be in tune to every aspect of our classrooms and even outside of our classrooms. We should be
first-respondents when it comes to the trials of bullying and violence. As educators we set the tone. Period. We essentially determine what will and won't be tolerated. Therefore, our role is to protect and serve the children. We are to establish rules and regulations that are explicit and comprehensible, and that ensure a general feeling of safety among the students. The role of the educator is to encourage respect, responsibility, kindness and acceptance. All of the things aforementioned will hopefully decrease the rates of violence and bullying.

# data[].attributes.body
As educators, we need to have a lot of patience with our students when it comes to their behavior. I have to admit that through our text reading, I realized, I tend to be the type of educator that likes a quiet atmosphere and expects the children to work quietly at their desks and raise their hands if they want to speak. However, my personal concept of this needs to be changed. Obviously we need to have a handle on classroom management but not to the extent that we dismiss disruptive kids or their behaviors to sending them for help. We need to have the patience and really think about what might be going on in their personal situations before we determine if they might need some extra help or not.

When it comes to bullying and violence, as an educator we should not accept this. We should be an example for our students in teaching them how to be in the same space as others, i.e. accept one another, be okay with each other's differences, etc. We also need to be vigilant in that we need to observe who might be a victim and who might be the one doing the bullying and attempt to help each of them individually to see if there's anything that's causing this to happen and how to help decrease this behavior.

There's always more to a kid then their behavior. There is always something going on beneath the surface. Like Hannah said in her post, labeling a child as "bad", whether they have a disability or not, hinders a child from receiving the help they need. In the powerpoint there were several warning signs to look for, and educators can discover these in developing relations with parents. I, to a certain extent from my experience in the classrooms, understand the frustrations teachers deal with. They have 20-30 kids in a class and have to educate all of those children, making sure their grades stay up, making sure they actually understand the material, and have to meet county standards; all while trying to be creative, fresh, and engaging! That can be A LOT! Then to have a child(ren) who make the process more difficult. It is easy to fall into the trap of saying "thats a bad kid, and it's not fair to take away class time from everyone else to address him/her".

However, that is our job as educators. We spend more time with these kids than many of their parents do. We have to stand in the gap, to notice the child that needs help and get them that help. If we as educators don't do it, most likely no one else will. Most parents don't notice the issues (due to many factors) or they deny them. So we have to make every effort to advocate for the children in our classroom.

This applies to bullying as well. As educators we can develop relationships with both the bully and the one on the receiving end. We are able to, as much as they will allow, get to the root of the issues. Depending on the age, children are willing to share once given a chance! I think it is important for educators to address these issues within their classes. Maybe even having/ creating a safe space for their students to vent. This, however, has to be done from a place of love. A student or person in general, will not feel comfortable or safe sharing with someone who is cold, distant, aggressive, or is over- authoritative.

Both of these situations require patience, love, and perseverance.

Calling students with disabilities "bad" makes it difficult for students to get the help that they need to be successful in education and in life. Just labeling them as bad makes them fall through the cracks, and leaves them behind in the educational system and in life. As educators it is important that we make sure that every student has the opportunity to succeed despite any disabilities they may have.

Educators' role when it comes to bullying is to create a positive and up building environment so that all classroom members feel like family and they will be less likely to hurt each other. Additionally, the other students will make it their responsibility to protect each other.

I think as  teachers we shouldn’t automatically judge a student by their behaviors. There are many factors that can affect the student acts in the classroom. One of them can be their home environment, which we don’t know much about at times. As a teacher, it’s our responsibility to try to understand students and their situations. We need to put ourselves in their shoes to instead of misjudging them. Teachers need to ensure they are putting as much effort with the “bad kids” as any other student. They are capable of doing the work; they just need encouragement and teachers need to get past their behavior.

Teachers need to ensure they create a safe environment for their students in the classroom. There needs to be ground rules letting students know that violence and bullying will not be tolerated. Teachers should not turn the cheek away and avoid these issues in the classroom. They could interfere with learning and students’ well-being. Teaches need to pay attention to not only the student being bullied or victim of violence, but also the student bullying. Teachers need to see what they can do to help them and what the reason is for their behavior. Fostering healthy relationships in the classroom is key and teachers need to be models of those acceptable behaviors.

# data[].attributes.body
we as educators, should understand that we are just as responsible for the student as the parent, there is no such thing as a bad child only behaviors or acting out, and those kids are displaying the behavior for a reason. we are sometimes the only adult figure they see during the day, we have a great influence on these kids. when we take on that responsibilty in the classroom we vow to give our all to these kids, no matter the behavior, we have to be understanding and patient with these kids.

our role as an educator when it comes to bullying and violence, is to teach acceptance. as well as tolerance, what behaviors are accepted and what is not accepted. Teaching each student that hidden curriculum of morals, see something say something. Allowing these students to stand for what is right and knowing no one should be hurting anyone physically or verbally based on differences.

# data[].attributes.body
That mindset begins when we see that each student is a person.  When we connect with them and start to understand what is going on in their life we realize that we have a chance to help them change where it is going.  This doesn't always work, but if you don't try then who will?

As an educator our role is to prevent this violence and bullying. This can be done first by preemptively teaching social skills early. Model kindness by showing it to all students and make them realize that they matter. The other way we stop this is by talking to students and observing. If we see bullying take place we stop it. If we suspect bullying might be happening talk to the student and let them know that you care and can help.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the educator can reframe the way they think about children with behavior problems by familiarizing themselves with the child's background. Sometimes children act out for reasons that they can't control such as having trauma at home or even an internal imbalance. I realize that it may be a lot to ask, but understanding their home life or keeping in touch with the parents to see what may be causing the child to act up.

The role of the educator is to help them find better alternatives so there can be peace in the classroom. I believe establishing rules for the classroom about what is acceptable and what won't be tolerated, as well as thoroughly outlining the punishments is important. Adhering to the rules and being supported but the administration  is important. I have seen situations where the teacher has tried to reprimand a child or enforce punishment, only for admin to say they cannot suspend them. The educator needs to do everything in his/her power to ensure all of the students are safe and provided with a peaceful learning environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Educators may change the mindset by putting themselves in their shoes. Sometimes kids act a certain way not because they want to make your life harder but because they may be facing obstacles within their home life that you aren't even aware of. Usually, there's a good reason for why a child acts the way that they do. There are many different reasons children act out. Their parents may be divorced, parents absent, deaths in the family, abused physically/emotionally, malnourished, unstable home life etc. Or sometimes they pick up on bad habits learned from parents or peers. Your job isn't to label the child as a bad kid but try and figure out why the child is behaving the way they are. If the home life is a problem, you as an educator, has to remind yourself that the only other main safe space they have is school. The child should be able to feel as if their teachers care for them beyond textbooks and graded assignments. Teachers are supposed to make the classroom a safe space and make it so all children feel as if they can be themselves without being judged. Teachers should set the bar high when it comes to expecting good behavior towards each and every person. Bullying and violence should not be tolerated under any circumstances. This is something that should be taken very seriously especially due to climbing suicide rates.

A requirement of an educator is to ask questions and look beyond the surface. Why is this kid acting like this? What triggers it?  How is their home life like? Are their parents involved? ETC. Labeling student should be prohibited. Educators should understand the impact of labeling and that it can make their job harder when it comes to dealing with the child. School is a place where students should feel safe, challenged, inviting. It should be understood that an educator’s job is to help any student no matter their issues.
The role of the educator is much more than teaching a text book. It is their job to provide a positive learning environment, a counselor, a friend,and mandated reporter for all students. It is their job to exemplify the

An instructor can change their mindset by being more emphathetic to the students individual situation. They could start by figuring out why the student is having behavioral problems in the first place. Are they having trouble at home? Has something recently changed in their life that may be causing them extra stress? Have they experienced a traumatic life event that may be distracting them. Once you figure out what the issue may be, you can come up with a solution on how to help the student get back on track.

While a student is in school, the safety and wellbeing of the students are the responsibility of the educator. I believe that it is their job to intervene when violence and bullying occur, but sadly in todays society, a lot of instructors are turing a blind eye, or not holding student accountable for their actions towards other students. It is important for teachers to educate their students on what bullying is and what the consequences are for harrasment or violent behavior. All consequences need to be implemented when a situation arises, and the student needs to be counselled on appropriate actions and behaviors that are acceptable within the classroom. The educator needs to set the expectation and hold all student accountable in order to decrease school violence and bullying.

Q1: An educator can change the mindset of "that's just a bad kid" to "its my job to help this student" by thinking deeper than the student's actions. They must ask the questions of "Is the student's grades low?", or "Why is the child misbehaving?" This could all have an effect on the child. By the teacher being able to understand these things they will no longer think of the child as being bad.
Q2: The role of the educator is make all of their students aware that any type of violence or bullying will not be tolerated. Teachers should take any form of the situation seriously and help to create a fun and loving learning environment.

The role of an educator is to teach the students the material, but that is not solely it. As educators we are to teach children material the way it works for that child. If a child has behavioral issues we do not just immediately label them and give up, this is where empathy comes into play. We as educators need to try and understand what is going on in that student's head that is making them react this way. Whether it be home life or simply them not understanding something and lashing out. These educators provide empathy for all and create a safe space for these students to come and dive deeper into themselves. They do not create a space that is harsh on students who do not learn the "right" way, or act a certain way, they create an classroom for all to come and learn and create.

An educator’s mindset will change when they take a deeper look as to why the student is performing low and why the student is misbehaving. They have to understand that students will open up once they have a relationship with the educator. But before that can happen the educator has to want to help them; students can sense that they are not wanted or not cared for by the adult.  Once the educator mind is made up that this job is to not only teach, but encouraged students who are dealing with life and give them motivation.

The role of an educator is to provide a safe environment for all students, once a student can cause the environment to become the hostile create a negative effect on student learning. The educator is to build up the students and prevent students from tearing one another down and to not make it ok allow violent behaviors to occur in the classroom. Educators are here as safe guards and protection for students.

In order to change the mindset of "that's just a bad kid" to "it's my job to help this student" is to keep in mind that the individual student isn't bad, it's their behavior that's bad. According to the powerpoint and chapter, some students have emotional disturbances and behavioral challenges and those cannot be identified when you have the idea that this student is "bad." Students act out when they need help, so instead of thinking this kid is bad, think "they need my help because they have difficulty understanding something." When you give a student a difficult task and they don't understand it, they will act out, then the teacher will remove the student from the classroom, then the student escapes the academic task, and the student falls further behind academically. It's a cycle, think about helping the student individually rather then sending them outside because their behavior is bad.
The role of the educator is to provide awareness of bullying and the consequences of bullying. When that is addressed and an educator sees/hears about the bullying they need to report. Parents and students need to understand that bullying is not tolerated. We need to reduce the amount of time students spend unsupervised, monitor areas, schedule classroom meetings, etc. Our job is to report it and take it seriously. Our job is to make everyone aware that violence and bullying is not allowed.
