Capturing Kids' Hearts
Self-Managing Behaviors...
I don't think teachers get tired of teaching, but we can get tired of managing behaviors – especially in conflict.
When students hold each other accountable by using “Fouls” and “Put Ups” you have a much safer environment. Plus, you have more time to teach.
Reflective Question:
Do your students call a foul when disrespect is observed?
Tips
- Model “Put Ups” often. They learn from us.
- Give students a resource! Hang a "cheat sheet" of affirmations on the wall so they can refer to it when giving "Put Ups".
- Be ‘ok’ with clumsy "Put Ups" early on. They will get better with practice.
- Keep a bulletin board with character traits.
- For younger or non-verbal students, provide fill in the blank sentence strips that can be filled in and delivered to the person who was fouled.
- Affirm students when they own their behavior and make the relationship right.
Thank you for teaching students how to appropriately hold each other accountable and how to reestablish their relationships!
