Celebration
Celebrating the birth of Baby Wachtman and the successful completion of our Parent Teacher conferences. It was great seeing all of the parents in and out on Wednesday and Thursday and teachers have given some positive feedback in regards to how they went.
PBIS TIP OF THE WEEK
Safe classroom environments create both physical and psychological safety for students. As teachers, we are responsible for both. A teacher’s response to student behavior directly impacts whether students feel valued as human beings. Work to eliminate any anxiety that students may feel about being called out in front of their peers or humiliated. This begins with understanding that everyone makes mistakes, and learning to separate “the deed from the doer”. Ensure that the dignity of the student is maintained, even when discipline is required, by following up with the student privately and respectfully.
