1. What do you see as the highest leverage step in the behavior management cycle? What will move your classroom management the most if you do it right? What will be challenging? What will be easy?

2. What is a burning question / topic you want to discuss?

2. a. How do you call all investors randomly?!b. How do you set up expectations for TPR?

I would love to hear if you have any tips related, specifically, to starting the school year strong.

Burning question: Day one—do you have students come in quietly and complete their do now’s silently? Do you positively narrate as you’re greeting students at the door?

1. The highest leverage is the relationship piece, I think. Giving well-timed consequences is really important.

2. I do (think) I care about my students but at the same time I am not really interested in their jobs or extra curricular activities unless there is a problem. Then I am interested in listening and learning and helping. How can I get more interested in the good parts of their lives?

1. About giving consequences-we do not have demerits/ merits at our school and we cannot assign d-hall, so what do you suggest?

Any thoughts on how some of this can translate to after school elementary classes? Our aim is to remain fun, with structure and learning, obviously!

Thank you!! That is really helpful!

Can you / Would you share the survey you hand out day 1?

I struggle most with responding in the moment when something negative happens - a student willfully doesn't follow directions for example. I feel like I'm a deer in headlights. Also, it seems like a lot of your content comes from Teach Like a Champion stuff. Do you, or they, have videos modeling first weeks of school setting up routines, etc.? It would be so helpful to see it modeled.

What are ways I can do a whole classroom reset on day one? I am the only Latin teacher at my school, so I have the exact same section of students. We ended 6th grade together on a bad foot and I lost control of the classroom by the end of the year. I'm worried that they'll walk in on day one of 7th grade in September and automatically be resistent to any changes I try to make to improve classroom management.

How did you organize/track those merit/demerit systems?

Do you have a premade demerit and merit point system that you can share with word?

How do you do narrating at the beginning of the year before you know the students’ names?

Do you have an example of the reading packet?

what does a period where you celebrate student progress look like?

I’m diskless…name plates are harder

deskless*

OR have your seating chart on your clipboard

How do you do name plates without desks?

how can I do nameplates without desks

Hang the name plate around their neck (knitting yarn as the necklace part)

how do you make your consequence ladder explicit to students? Do you just tell them verbally? Do you post it in the classroom?

What do you do if students lose their weekly packet-or do you have them keep them in the classroom?

do demerits and merits translate to a grade in participation? if so - how?

I say “ What are you most proud about from the summer?"

You mentioned it when students are absent or out for a long time during week 2 zoom

After I did TPR, I had a hard time transitioning to TPRS. They kept wanting to go back.

Do you tell the kids they have to participate with TPR? What do you do when they resist?

You said you had some addition information to share about TPR?

Special person where is bryce hedstrom star student framework link?

I teach in an elementary proficiency program. my students have taken French since 1st grade for 135 min per week. this year my admin has put 38 special ed kids in our classes 4&5 and they have never been in French. I'm distraught that my class is the cog wheel of scheduling... Am I alone that this is unfair to all students?!!!

Hot spot. My principal just went over saying don't say certain things in class. How am I suppose to follow his instructions while still doing hot spot?

I love the no warnings thing and immediately writing the kid's name on your clipboard as their first consequence. I think giving too many warnings has been one of my biggest management mistakes. My question is, what is the actual consequence when you write the kid's name down? Or is that it? "I'm writing your name down because you did x. If this continues, y will happen."

Yay! I really wanted that too!

Thanks.

Thank you all for sharing so much!!!!

How do you spread star of the day student? I did it everyday and it got boring real fast. I had a class of 30. Would you do it all?

The 5 minute no holds barred spot

seat

How many questions are in your interview?

That was a really good lesson on Star Student lesson. I have not done it because I couldn’t do that. Now I can’t wait!

are the kids responding in TL?

I'm doing one tomorrow!!

How do you get your students to do a job? Are they rewarded?

Yes, they do but they may not in sentences. That is one reason why you repeat what they are saying

oh right! -but I mean the persona especial?

night night

thank you

thank you!!!

Thank you, that was awesome! I appreciate it!

Thank you!!!! You are amazing

thank you!

I just attended a 2 day Mike Peto conference. So good. Go see him if you have the chance. Anyway, he picks 5 questions for student interviews and puts them up on the screen. He numbers them from 5 down to 1 so everyone knows what's next.

it's silly how teachers are claiming techniques like Star student! let's not be vain. Bryce is not the first to do it!

Thanks, everyone!

Muchas Gracias!!! You are great!!

Thank you!
