The kids really do feed off of the teacher's energy. She provided positive statements throughout the class, to the whole class and individuals. Taking into consideration Maslow's Hierarchy, it's really important that us teachers create a safe space for students, so they can feel confident and motivated to learn.]]> 2023-09-27 03:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/flopez8917/cpmb97kjpkqaoreu/wish/2722364094 Example 1 flopez8917 https://padlet.com/flopez8917/cpmb97kjpkqaoreu/wish/2727688638 As I am explaining a mathematical procedure, I stop after every step to ask students if they understand the process so far. Students respond using their thumbs.

  • A thumbs up means “I have a good understanding.”
  • A thumb to the side means “I still have some questions.”
  • A thumb down means “I don’t get it.”

If a get a few side-thumbs and/or down thumbs I will reexplain that step, or ask a student that understood to explain it.

This method is a far better method than asking if anyone has questions. Students can either be too shy or confused to ask.

I'll change name from problems to my students' name. I also have students make voices to impersonate characters from the problem. It get students to pay attention and also have a good time.]]> 2023-10-01 20:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/flopez8917/cpmb97kjpkqaoreu/wish/2727691280 WOOP Goal-Setting flopez8917 https://padlet.com/flopez8917/cpmb97kjpkqaoreu/wish/2736583532 Ask students to answer the following questions:

  • Wish - What is something you wish to acheive?
  • Outcome - How will making that dream come true make you feel?
  • Obstacle - What is something that is something that is stopping you from making that dream come true?
  • Plan - What is something you can do to avoid that one obstacle? If the obstacle still arises what can you do to overcome it?

As a first-year teacher, I felt I was a good teacher if I handle out misbehaviors on my own. I would only call home as a last resort.

As a second-year teacher I have started communication with them early- specifically positive communication.

The goal is to have consistent interactions to create positive reinforcement cycle.

You can call home and touch open the following points:
1. Share one positive thing about the student’s behavior or academic performance
2. Share areas of concern about the student, such as recent attendance issues, failing grades, or missing assignments.
3. Ask the parent or guardian if there are specific things the school or class could do better.
4. Reiterate why it’s important to address the student’s academic, attendance, behavioral, or social-emotional issues
5. Ask the parent or guardian why the student might be experiencing challenges at school
6. Discuss ideas and action steps for working together to get the student back on track  
7. Share more about yourself and your experiences to build trust with the family]]> 2023-10-07 16:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/flopez8917/cpmb97kjpkqaoreu/wish/2736587416 Video flopez8917 https://padlet.com/flopez8917/cpmb97kjpkqaoreu/wish/2736590340 2023-10-07 16:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/flopez8917/cpmb97kjpkqaoreu/wish/2736590340 MTSS Strategies Behaviors flopez8917 https://padlet.com/flopez8917/cpmb97kjpkqaoreu/wish/2736595895 1. Make sure to avoid getting anyone in trouble before routines have been instilled. 
2. Breaks can actually help students to self-regulate
3. Silent-signals avid antagonizing students in front of everyone. Tap on the head or the shoulder can be it if proximity doesn't work. If the taps don't work you can whisper to them what you would like them to do.
4. Reinforce positive behavior by restating the desired behavior and reward when followed by whole or most of the class with a fun activity.]]> 2023-10-07 16:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/flopez8917/cpmb97kjpkqaoreu/wish/2736595895
