A1 Loved what we taught, but I try to hook Ss into the subject & get Ss to fall in love, too, or see relevance #WhenIWasBoredIWasBad #oklaed

— Vanessa Perez (@vperezy) September 4, 2017

#OklaEd A1: I'm old (dirt was clear – not dirty yet). Nothing but lectures except lab courses & PhysEd. But no misbehaving that I remember. https://t.co/qVRpPOtTnf

A2: 3 ?s asked before even dealing with an issue…have you eaten? Where did you sleep last night? How did you get to school today?#oklaed

— RhondaSchroeder Ed.D (@rhondaschroeder) September 4, 2017

A2) As a K T, I have fed kids, washed kids in a sink, sewn on buttons, & given that love & attention they need, anything necessary #oklaed

— Kimberly Blodgett (@KimberBlodgett) September 4, 2017

A3: ❤️ this❓.Don't know the A. ⬆️class sizes make it difficult to focus on changing behavior, rather than reacting.Needs to be fixed.#oklaed

— Sophia Smart (@Smart__Science) September 4, 2017

A3: We've seen (and been taught) to control the behavior. It's almost like we have to say "I'm in charge". #oklaed

A4: Yikes! Good question. I don't have that student this year, but in the past I've just been glad when they were absent. #oklaed Rethinking https://t.co/Nqaq3rSyJs

— Debra Thoreson (@djthoreson) September 4, 2017

A4: honestly the Ss I've had like this have Ps who don't want to parent but be their friend. #oklaed

— Sarah Nelson (@sarahmomof3boys) September 4, 2017

A4b. But yes they are the ones who usually have a rough home life or something going on in their life. It is heartbreaking #oklaed

A5: Past experiences are very influential.. Have to remember each person is different! #oklaed

— Becca Nixon (@msnixon5) September 4, 2017

A5: I have a hard time w/ the bullies. My bias-I would be upset as a mom if my child was his victim so I don't see underlying cause #oklaed

Q6 #oklaed pic.twitter.com/BuuHY8l6mV

— Kimberly Blodgett (@KimberBlodgett) September 4, 2017

A6: as a general practice? No. I saw this in some circumstances but never as a general practice. Wish it occurred more frequently. #oklaed https://t.co/bUcG8j9I0o

— Mr. David Burton (@MrBurtonMPS) September 4, 2017

A6 depends on those involved. Love the idea of involving them more and making that standard. #oklaed https://t.co/lp7uA1AwnC

A7: Just started, but flipping the classroom has helped a bunch with boredom related discipline issues. #oklaed pic.twitter.com/uTcQBtMrkO

— Sophia Smart (@Smart__Science) September 4, 2017

A7: Sometimes I find it's not the kid….it's the lesson. #oklaed

Q8 #oklaed Loving this chat!!! It's important to remember behavior management isn't just about managing the Ss, but also managing ourselves. pic.twitter.com/4AnNaQGjTD

— Kimberly Blodgett (@KimberBlodgett) September 4, 2017

A8 another example of why it's so impt to build relationships with Ss…consensus and shared expectations work better than top down #oklaed

— toby brown, phd (@tbbrwn) September 4, 2017

A8 and not just on Ss but other adults. Can't expect perfection from Ss, Ts, As, family, friends–appreciate and assist them #OklaEd

Q9 #oklaed I love hosting these chats because of all of you!!! 🙂 pic.twitter.com/yL63fS7ktC

— Kimberly Blodgett (@KimberBlodgett) September 4, 2017

A9: This year I've been sitting in the circle with my Ss more. I haven't had as many behavioral issues this year. 🙂 #oklaed https://t.co/NdTLu8pwou

— Debra Thoreson (@djthoreson) September 4, 2017

A9. I let them reflect on their behavior. Let them say why they behaved that way. Then we discuss how to "fix" it or improve. #oklaed

Q10 #oklaed pic.twitter.com/9JJUaWTEPt

— Kimberly Blodgett (@KimberBlodgett) September 4, 2017

A10: Stayed firm, fair, & consistent as possible. May take all year & into next, but they see YOU care & won't give up on them. #oklaed

— Jun Kim (@MPSTechnology) September 4, 2017

A10: my most difficult students are ones court ordered to be there Acknowledging they don't want to be there is a huge first step #OKLAed https://t.co/WiKvYzNGdr

Q11 #oklaed This hour flew by!!! pic.twitter.com/U2FL9eZK9F

— Kimberly Blodgett (@KimberBlodgett) September 4, 2017

A11 I need to spend more time listening to Ss. #oklaed

— Mrs. Waters 📚 (@watersenglish) September 4, 2017

Q11: One simple change I'm going to make is greeting Ss at the door. Much more important than checking my email between classes. #oklaed

— Sophia Smart (@Smart__Science) September 4, 2017

 

Favorite question and why?

Erin: Question 8 – Permanently changing behaviors is tough as adults. (losing weight, stop smoking, caffeine, etc). It takes several tries. So why do we place expectations on our students that we don’t expect of ourselves?

Scott: Question 4 – Think for a minute about the kid when absent gives you a sigh of relief. Is their behavior what you thought of? What are they trying to communicate to you? What need isn’t being met? How can you help him/her? How can you change your perception of this student?

Boomsauce tweet(s) of the night:

Scott:

I stand in awe of #oklaed. 20 to 120 kids per day, being responsible for their behavior AND education, most lay people would run in fear.
