Thought for Today

• We are the human connection to the learning
  environment. Our looks, words, attitude,
  constancy, knowledge, self-respect, and authority
  will influence how our students regard the rest
  of the room and the tasks at hand.
• Martha Kaufeldt (1999)

Assumptions About Consequences

• There are no punishments, just consequences.
• Consequences teach behavior and responsibility.
• Students have the power of choice.
• All choices bear fruit.
• Some fruit is sweet some fruit is bitter.
• Choices matter they have impact.

Celebrating Success

  page 14 and the handout.
• With a partner choose one celebration to share
  with the whole group.
• Pick one you do or like based on the age of your
  students.

Review Consequences

• Consequences provide a pause for students.
• Start with the gentlest consequence and move up
  the ladder.
• Procedures account for 90 of classroom
  management, so if procedures are well taught,
  many consequences are not needed.

10
Review Consequence Ideas

• Let your consequences do the work No teacher
  harangue child hears blah, blah consequence.
• Delay consequences until later you dont have
  to give the consequence immediately in order to
  be consistent.
• Get comfortable with your consequences or change
  them.
• Private meeting with teacher
• Give students consequence choices less
  complaining, keep the consequence choices on the
  same level gives teacher options.
