Responding to Tragedy: Resources for Educators and Parents
Rating
0.0 stars

When tragic events happen, it can be difficult for educators, administrators, and parents to know how to help children understand and cope. How adults manage their own reactions, as well as how they help students deal with their questions and feelings, are important factors in providing children with the support and guidance they will need. Below are some useful, informative, and thoughtful resources for adults to help children through traumatic situations. Some of these resources are relevant to parents as well as educators.

School-Wide Strategies for Managing Defiance / Non-Compliance
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

Students who are defiant or non-compliant can be among the most challenging to teach. They can frequently interrupt instruction, often do poorly academically, and may show little motivation to learn. There are no magic strategies for managing the behaviors of defiant students. However, research shows that certain techniques tend to work best with these children and youth: (1) Give the student positive teacher recognition. Even actions as simple as greeting the student daily at the classroom door or stopping by the student’s desk to ask ‘How are you doing?’ can over time turn strained relationships into positive ones. (2) Monitor the classroom frequently and intervene proactively to redirect off-task students before their mild misbehaviors escalate into more serious problems. (3) Avoid saying or doing things that are likely to anger or set off a student. Speak calmly and respectfully, for example, rather than raising your voice or using sarcasm. (4) When you must intervene with a misbehaving student, convey the message to the student that you will not tolerate the problem behavior—but that you continue to value and accept the student. (5) Remember that the ultimate goal of any disciplinary measure is to teach the student more positive ways of behaving. Punishment generally does not improve student behaviors over the long term and can have significant and lasting negative effects on school performance and motivation. (6) Develop a classroom ‘crisis response plan’ to be implemented in the event that one or more students display aggressive behaviors that threaten their own safety or the safety of others. Be sure that your administrator approves this classroom crisis plan and that everyone who has a part in the plan knows his or her role. One final thought: While you can never predict what behaviors your students might bring into your classroom, you will usually achieve the best outcomes by remaining calm, following pre-planned intervention strategies for misbehavior, and acting with consistency and fairness when intervening with or disciplining students.

School-Wide Strategies for Managing Hyperactivity
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

Hyperactive students tend to have a very high energy level, act impulsively and can be behaviorally distracting. They may fidget, play with objects, tap pencils so loudly against their desk that kids from across the room look over at them, or blurt out answers to teacher questions before the instructor is even finished asking them. When working with students who are hyperactive or impulsive, teachers should keep in mind that these students are very often completely unaware that others view their behavior as distracting or annoying. Teachers working with such children can greatly increase their own effectiveness by clearly communicating behavioral expectations to students, by encouraging and rewarding students who behave appropriately, and by being consistent and fair when responding to problem student behaviors. Here are teacher ideas for managing impulsive or hyperactive students who display problem motor or verbal behaviors:

School-Wide Strategies for Managing Off-Task / Inattention
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

tudents who have chronic difficulties paying attention in class face the risk of poor grades and even school failure. Inattention may be a symptom of an underlying condition such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. However, teachers should not overlook other possible explanations for student off-task behavior. It may be, for example, that a student who does not seem to be paying attention is actually mismatched to instruction (the work is too hard or too easy) or preoccupied by anxious thoughts. Or the student may be off-task because the teacher's lesson was poorly planned or presented in a disorganized manner. It is also important to remember that even children with ADHD are influenced by factors in their classroom setting and that these students' level of attention is at least partly determined by the learning environment. Teachers who focus on making their instruction orderly, predictable, and highly motivating find that they can generally hold the attention of most of their students most of the time.

Self-Assessment Transition Rubrics
Only Sharing Permitted
CC BY-NC-ND
Rating
0.0 stars

This is a self-assessment tool that is designed for administrators to use to reflect on their schools’ success in supporting smooth transitions for students. We know that schools are generally welcoming to students who arrive in September or at other expected transition times, but sometimes in the hectic world of schools the important work to welcome, orient and support new students is overlooked. Many students who transfer at unexpected times are in challenging circumstances and need transition support. I encourage you to support your school administrators in establishing strong communication and relationship protocols that support smooth student transitions. See the preamble and the rubric itself for further details.

Shifting Minds 3.0 Redefining the Learning Landscape in Canada
Rating
0.0 stars

"Shifting Minds 3.0: Redefining the Learning Landscape in Canada offers a vehicle for learning systems to reflect and inspire innovation that supports competency and resiliency in a global economy."

KEY MESSAGES
"*Surface changes in education will not equip students for the 21st century: change is needed at the core of educational practice.
*Whole-system reform requires conditions that support educators in examining and reshaping the foundations on which their practice is built.
*A dual strategy of both improvement and innovation is required to maintain stability while enabling forward momentum.
*Leaders watch for the fine balance between the need for autonomy to innovate at the school level and the desire for systemic and sustainable improvement.
*Diversity is messy but critical in order to minimize ‘group think’ and maximize the possible solutions that will meet real-world needs.
*Insights from complexity theory can help leaders think outside the box of the traditional system to inspire and spread positive changes.
*Change is inevitable: transformation is possible."
