See you very soon for new challenges!

Tip:

Create daily routines for common activities, such as the start of the day, transitions between activities, and the end of the day. This helps young people know what to expect and feel secure in a structured environment. It nurtures their need for predictability! Display the routines in the room that you co-constructed with them and repeat them regularly to reinforce their importance.

Recommendation:

Resource Management

Resource management, time, space, equipment, allows to create a structured environment that facilitates supervision and student participation.

Tip:

Establish clear rules and expectations from the start of the school year and ensure they are visible in the classroom. Involve the students in creating these rules to encourage their adherence. This nurtures their need for control! Use posters, pictograms, or charts to remind them of the rules/expectations/logical consequences and discuss them regularly with them.

Recommendation:

Tip:

Invest time in building strong relationships with each young person by showing interest, actively listening, and offering sincere encouragement. Organize group activities that promote cohesion and allow young people to get to know each other better.

Recommendation:

Solution Tree - Free Resources for Classroom Management and Behavior

Access worksheets, study guides, and free templates focused on behavior management, bullying prevention, and classroom culture.

Tip:

Establish a positive reinforcement system to encourage appropriate behaviors. This can include verbal praise, symbolic rewards, or additional privileges. Be specific in your compliments and rewards, clearly indicating which behavior is appreciated and why.

Recommendation:

Proactive management of work-related stress

Proactive management of work-related stress involves preventing and reducing stress before it becomes overwhelming, by adopting anticipatory strategies at work. It reduces stress by decreasing disruptive behaviours and improving the classroom climate.

Proactive management

Proactive management involves anticipating problems, needs or situations before they occur, in order to prevent them or limit inappropriate behaviours.

Tip:

When disruptive behaviors occur, intervene quickly but respectfully, focusing on the behavior rather than the student. Use conflict management techniques to resolve situations. Apply logical and proportional consequences to inappropriate behaviors, and ensure that young people understand the reasons for these consequences.
