I’ve come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized.”  ~Haim Ginott

When dealing with undesired behaviors in the classroom, our only goal must be to prevent the behaviors from happening again and not to punish the student because "angry students are a problem, not a solution" (Whitaker 26).]]> 2016-07-17 19:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ziebarthj/mczgowoptrq5/wish/116516569 https://padlet.com/ziebarthj/mczgowoptrq5/wish/116517073 There were a lot of great things that I took away from this week, but the most important thing that I took away was the importance of setting expectations at the beginning of the year. ]]> 2016-07-17 19:58:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ziebarthj/mczgowoptrq5/wish/116517073 https://padlet.com/ziebarthj/mczgowoptrq5/wish/116520174 2016-07-17 22:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ziebarthj/mczgowoptrq5/wish/116520174 https://padlet.com/ziebarthj/mczgowoptrq5/wish/116522150 Praising students has many positive rewards, but the praise needs to be genuine, specific, immediate, clean (not critical) and one to one with the student.
