I have to learn to set realistic expectations of the students to see them in a positive light & appreciate them.

# data[].attributes.body
Make students understand that there's always consequences to every decision

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, one of the lifeskills to impart into them is that life is about decisions we make and accepting the consequences that come with it. Hence, they are able to buy into this.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. Affirmation is very important especially with our profile of students with low motivation

# data[].attributes.body
Yes definitely. Each individual has his/her plus points. Observe and communicate, and you will appreciate him/her in a way or another

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, every student can be improved!

# data[].attributes.body
Believe in them able to meet their own expectations and show them we care for them

# data[].attributes.body
Usually when an offence happens the first time in the class, I will share & reinforced the rationale behind the consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
Break the monotony of lessons by sharing a joke or telling a story to liven up the lesson. Often, this will create a touch point for the teacher to develop positive relationships with students.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. We always make it clear to the students that when we address issues, it is just the issues, not the person. We also use positive language and encourage them whenever there’s an opportunity.

# data[].attributes.body
Seize every teaching moment and praise them whenever we can.

# data[].attributes.body
Taking to the misbehaving student after class & explaining to them what they should do the next time.

# data[].attributes.body
Students are often reminded of consequences. Rationale is explained only sometimes. Will be mindful and make it a point to explain every time.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, belief is the key

# data[].attributes.body
Must set clear expectations. If they fail to comply, instead of just punishing, we need to educate them on the what, why and how.

# data[].attributes.body
Made it clear at the beginning of the year with constant reminders especially when someone flouts the rules

# data[].attributes.body
Get to know them better and find opportunities to talk to them outside class time ( e.g join them at canteen during recess).

# data[].attributes.body
The consequences are usually set with the class and implemented at start of lesson so that they know the rationale and can move on with the learning in lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
I do this when I respond to their journal entries where they do share in detail thoughts and/or other experiences that are personal.

# data[].attributes.body
We issue constant reminders.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes but still work in progress due to time constraint. So writing thank you notes & appreciation notes to Ss helps to affirm their good behaviour.

# data[].attributes.body
Sure! The students can definitely be a better version of themselves and there are many strengths they can work on. However, they need constant reminders of our expectations and rules.

# data[].attributes.body
Always show concern before pointing out their wrongdoings. Listen to what they have to say. Help them understand why this is wrong. Provide an alternative if there is. Encourage them. Tell them why it will be good if they can behave better.

# data[].attributes.body
Listen to what they have to say. Take them seriously. Use positive language.

# data[].attributes.body
Breakfast with form teachers is 1 platform we can build high quality positive relationships.

# data[].attributes.body
Show them that I care - not only with regard to how they perform academically but also about their character and emotional well-being.

# data[].attributes.body
Find out more about the students' background and use more positive language during communication with the students. Be firm and positive in implementing consequences. Constantly remind students of the expectations in lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
Addressing the issue one-to-one with the student. Follow-up action will also help Tr understand Ss better
