This is the formula we're working with: Clear expectations, teach the expectations, then run around like crazy reinforcing the expectations. This results in a safe and predictable environment. Today one focus is: Eating times Defining the Problem... - rubbish - time to get to class - taunts, play ground behaviour continuing Question: Does watching a screen slow the kids down eating? Or is helping to calm them and give the teacher the time to solve problems. When you are starting a new routine you need 7 times to practise. When you are stopping an old habit and starting a new one you need 28 opportunities to practise. Let the kids know what they are coming back to... "When you come back we are going to have..." Watching the videos of kapahaka - and practising by the end. Or a video about who is coming in... watching each other. You could set up a drop in centre during lunch breaks. Kids can come and talk to a teacher about their problems (or good things). Afte
