How fine-tuned are your listening skills? Counsellors Laura Harley and Beverley Hills share their top tips to become a more active listener
The time between Halloween and Winter Break can be so difficult! Build in positive reinforcement incentives to keep lessons moving forward and classroom management under control. What's the problem? You don't really need me to answer that do you?! There might not be a more frustrating period of time to teach content than November and December. Students are distracted by school programs, secret Santas, decorations, countdown to break, social events, more school programs, time off for Thanksgiving.... Okay, we know what the problem is! What's a teacher to do? Build incentives into your teaching that will motivate students to stay on track and work for you. Incentives also provide students with a positive reward that will help improve your classroom management. 1. Find what they like By this time of year, you know your students. You know what activities they've delighted in and have begged for more of. Maybe you had a cool art project that went with a novel study. Maybe your students loved the "pass back" story activity or had a blast with your bingo vocab game. Choose an activity you think your class will work for. It can be a bit of a trial and error process, but that's the great thing -- you can do something different every time. 2. How can you incentivize it? Take you idea to your students. I wanted to have a "game day" every other Friday. I proposed the idea to my students. What if we had a "game day" if we finished all of our scheduled work? My students loved that idea. 3. Get organized My students formed groups and chose what game they wanted to play. I discovered that many of my students had board games at home that they have never played! I made sure I had information from each group: who was in the group (making sure it was a reasonable number for the game and that everyone was in a group), what game they were playing, who was bringing in the game, and if they knew how to play the game or not. 4. Working toward a goal I let my students know what we needed to complete before we were eligible for the game day. For ELA, it included writing goals that I posted on my board each week and broke down for each day. The daily goals for the class helped reduce student talking and off-task behavior that wasted class time -- students used peer pressure to work for their goal. While I originally wanted to stretch out the goal for two weeks, the first time we tried this, I had the game day at the end of the week. This gave students a taste of what game day looked like and why they wanted to earn it. 5. Keeping it fresh Having a game day every Friday would quickly lose its novelty for middle schoolers -- no matter how much they try to convince you it wouldn't! After the first week, I stretched the reward out two weeks. I also asked students to change games and groups. I also kept a few games in my closet. Students would forget to bring in a game, or they became bored with the one they brought. You could also have a whole-class game day to play that Bingo game you have stashed in your cabinet. 6. Kicking it up a notch My original game day evolved into an annual Scrabble Tournament. Even my principal was impressed! Words! What could possibly go wrong?!! If you're interested in hosting a Scrabble Tournament, here's how I did it Scrabble Tournament. Give it a try! Lots of fun! What do you think? What incentives would work for your students? Share your ideas in the comments below! Happiness always!
As the only elementary school counselor in my district, traveling between three buildings, it is really hard to not take on the 'lone wolf' mentality. Even though teachers and administrators are there to support our students' emotional, social, and behavioral development, let's face it...it's not the same as talk'n shop with other counselors. Andrea from JYJoyner Counselor Blog, mentions many of the benefits of connecting with other counselors through social media in her post Flying Solo? You are not alone. As soon as I read the post title, I got the overwhelming urge to sing some MJ: So the video

So what do penguins, shapes and intervention plans have in common? Not much other than randomness in the life of a K-2 SPED teacher! Penguins were our focus theme this week and the kids had a lot of fun. Then I had a great intervention team meeting, and your perk for my little meeting is a little behavior intervention freebie. Then we started working on geometric shapes and did some fun centers. Check out our cute little penguins we made! I cut the shapes out of an old file folder and had the kids trace and cut out the pieces before gluing it all together. So I don't know about you, but I'm OBSESSED with Pinterest now! During the summer I had no idea what it even was, and now I don't know how I ever taught without it! There are so many great ideas out there, but they were all lost in the crazy world of cyber space until Pinterest put all those great things together in the world of pictures! I'm a very visual person/learner and Pinterest is just plain perfect for me! Prekinders is one of the many fabulous discoveries I've made. It's meant for preschool, but some things are great for kids a little older than that too! The pattern blocks printables are amazing! My students were entertained for an hour!!! They were begging me to print more! I used these dry-erase pockets I got on the dollar isle at Target during back to school time. It saved me time it would have taken to laminate all of these. I put two in each pocket and the kids just traded them around after they finished making the animal shapes on both sides of their clear pocket. Part of my intervention plan was to work with my student during some "special time" together so we could create a feelings sheet for him to complete when he makes a bad choice. It's amazing how calling anything "special time with the teacher" makes the kids instantly think it's fabulous to have them all to themselves! We actually talked about this during our meeting. A (great!) doctor for kids who are twice exceptional (gifted/autism, adhd/gifted, etc) came into my class to observe a kid I've been struggling with. This kid is beyond brilliant! Quite possibly the smartest kid I've ever met, but with that comes it's own challenges... So this Dr. comes in to observe to get a better idea of what's going on. One of the things that shocked me was when the doctor said "He clearly adores you! I never saw one thing that indicated otherwise!" To be clear, the kid was far from an angel that day, and he's tested my every nerve and teaching strategy this year. But Mr. Doctor Guy pointed out that it's like he loves me so much he doesn't want to share me. Which suddenly makes sense to me. Sorry, I got on a tangent there for a minute... So the doctor's suggestion was that I work with my little guy to create a form for identifying feelings, identifying the problem, and brainstorming solutions. The point was to make it feel like it was the kid's idea to make this thing, in the hopes that he'll buy into using it everyday. So my little guy and I used our special time to make this together! He came up with all the feeling words himself. Please note the complexity of these words and he's only 5! The very bottom box is the list of suggestions for things he could write in the "things I could have done" section. Animal images at the top of the page are from KPM Doodles. Time to do some serious lesson planning. I've been told there will be more construction and painting in my classroom this weekend, so I have no idea what disaster I'll be walking into when I walk in tomorrow morning! I'm making sure I have everything ready now, so I can fix/clean up my room when I get it there. Crossing my fingers that it's not too bad. Plus I'm looking forward to the new cabinet they promised to give me! I don't even have a clue what it looks like, but no teacher complains about more storage!!
