    Innovative forms--I like to have students complete janitorial work in the classroom which I feel teaches them there are consequences for actions but also allows them to take pride in the classroom. #OklaEd @UCOLME

  • djthoreson Oct 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: Somewhere in between. Sometimes there are circumstances that give Ss a reason for misbehaving, but sometimes it is just them testing limits. So I think the consequences should depend on the root cause of the problem. #oklaed

    A1) nontraditional forms of discipline, i.e., natural consequences, giving students opportunities to fix/change behavior rather than punitive measures #oklaed

    A1) I would like to think more of the innovative side, but sometimes situations and change in practice can send the wrong signal to staff. #oklaed

    A1 - a combo. I don’t like to take recess away, but do believe a break can be helpful (ie ISS or OSS). I do like “reverse OSS” parent shadows for a day. Also trying more positive reinforcements this year “PAWS-itive referrals” #oklaed
  • ShariGateley Oct 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1- I want to be innovative, but there aren’t a whole lot of options. I will say I have very few hills I die on &try to handle discipline myself. A lot of times a convo w/a S tells me what I need to know & we go from there. I try to send very little to those above me. #oklaed

    A1. Still using traditional methods that clearly do not work for most. Same repeat customers each day. I am open to anything proven or experimental. #oklaed
  • Stv_Gilliland Oct 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: Innovative or non-traditional. Traditional approach rarely solves the problem. I try to find out why things happen and work from there. #oklaed
  • kasnelson Oct 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: I’m innovative. I usually have 3 goals with discipline: 1. Restitution/apology 2. Learning the correct behavior & 3. fitting the punishment with the offense. So discipline might not be from a list of choices, but unique to each child and situation. #oklaed
  • Johnsonmath Oct 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: I am more a preventive disciplinarian. I work hard to ensure that my students understand all expectations and are stopped quickly when they are beginning to make bad decisions. I seldom need detention, ISS, suspension based on behavior IN my classroom. #oklaed
  • SethMeier Oct 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    I'll be going through some of these questions in a slower pace. I want everyone to have a chance to read other comments. #oklaed

    A1 part b - I really want to reduce our ISS and OSS days. When kids aren’t in the classroom, they are not learning. But, if they are in class disrupting, nobody is learning. Ready for new ideas #oklaed

    A1: Taking recess away isn't the answer. and even if it were you can still allow them outside to move, walk, something. Anyway, I have my Ss take a break bc in most cases that is what we both need. #Oklaed not real innovative, but it works.
  • edu_sanders70 Oct 21 @ 9:11 PM EDT

    A1)I would prefer innovative forms,but in MS sometimes ISD and suspensions are not optional when drugs, fights,and weapons are involved.Innovative ideas can work with bullying, drama, and disrespect.I don’t deal with discipline when it reaches that stage,and I’m glad. #oklaed

    #OklaEd A1: Were I given a classroom (right ...), I hope I’d be dedicated to facilitating students helping each other address individual issues or confrontational issues - WITHIN THE CLASSROOM. since this would be my approach to their learning, lots of problem solving exercises.

    A5 make sure we find a way to include the difficulties as opposed to excluding them. Don’t tell a parent their child can’t go on a field trip unless the parent goes unless there is no other way. These parents many times can’t go. #oklaed

      A3) Not a fan of missing recess.I am open to consequences that match the offense, but I see benefits for after school det. I like that parents have to be involved in order for the Ss to get home & it gives me 1 on 1 time with Ss to talk about the behavior & build relationships.

    A8 - Build a RELATIONSHIP with your students. Mainly the ones that are the hardest to build relationships with. It won’t fix ALL the problems, but a student who WANTS to be in your room, will have better behavior for you & learn more #oklaed

  • SethMeier Oct 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A8b) Slow down. Take time to listen. Don’t take everything personally. Motivate with positive reinforcement. Don't confuse the hard parts of teaching with not enjoying teaching. #oklaed
  • ShariGateley Oct 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A8 - As w/everything in education I would ask them, “What would you want for your own child?” We should approach every decision w/the idea that if it’s not good enough for our kid then it’s not good enough for any. #oklaed

    A8b Stop. Give the S and yourself time to calm down. Ask the S what happened. Listen. Respond with grace and compassion. Find a way to help the S succeed. You are on their side. #oklaED
  • kennethdward Oct 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A8 they have to first get over the belief that discipline alone will modify behavior in the difficult cases. Discipline typically has little positive effect. It takes hard work, a solid relationship, and persistence. We must understand we don’t get to give up ever! #oklaed
  • OklahomaTli Oct 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    #oklaed A7) How do we define "support"? Does our conception of an "ideal parent" cloud our ability to reach out... be supportive ourselves...be inclusive? Perhaps the first steps involve building an authentic relationship with the family that loves the kid they send to school.

  • mcappsparks Oct 21 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A8 think about if you would want your child/niece/nephew/cousin/neighbor/self to be on the receiving end of the discipline you typically dole out. What would you want it to look like instead? #oklaed
  • kennethdward Oct 21 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A8 they have to understand how to remain above the emotions and avoid power struggles. It’s not personal analyze the situation and review data. Act rationally not emotionally. #oklaed
  • jlreed2011 Oct 21 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A8) Focus the attention of the teacher back to the "why" they want to teach. Most get into the profession to make a difference.The easy student is not the challenge or where our skills are needed most. The difficult student is where our skills and talent can be effective. #oklaed

      When something goes wrong, we are rushing into ineffective or unsustainable solutions rather than staying with problem identification & solving. When we fix the wrong things for wrong reason, the same problems continue to surface. It’s costly & demoralizing. #oklaED @BreneBrown
