Everyone wants… - to belong • to feel valued • to have a choice • to have a voice • to contribute
The Basics of PD • Creating connection • Mutual respect • Problem-solving & autonomy • Intrinsic motivation not rewards • Focus on unmet needs not punishments
Challenges • Chatting • Answering back • Lack of motivation • Lying • Not listening
Mistaken Beliefs • Think of a difficult student • How do they act? • How do they make you feel? • How do you often react? Is this effective?
The Show off Behaviour: disrupts, interrupts, class clown Teacher feels: annoyed, irritated Student’s belief: I belong only when I’m getting attention Effective Response: Provide positive opportunities to contribute
Whiny & helpless Teacher feels: Guilty, responsible, sorry for him/her Student’s belief: I belong only when I keep others busy with me Effective response: Train in problem solving, promote autonomy & allow failure
Mr Know It All Teacher feels: Challenged, provoked Student’s belief: I belong only when I’m in control & when I’ve “won” Effective response: Withdraw from conflict, give choices
Rude & Destructive Teacher feels: Hurt, angry, retaliating Student’s belief: I don’t belong so I’ll hurt others like I’m hurt Effective response: Connect, gain trust, avoid punishment
Indifferent & Withdrawn Teacher feels: Discouraged, helpless Student’s belief: I don’t count because I’m inferior, I’ll convince others to expect nothing from me Effective response: Continued faith & confidence, remind past successes
Problem Solving Steps • Identify a problem • Brainstorm as many solutions as possible • Choose one • Try it for a week • Review at next class meeting • Evaluate & choose another one if necessary
Self Care • Make a list of things to feed your heart & soul • Make time for yourself EVERY DAY • “I’m a brilliant teacher” photo album • Ask for help • Give up guilt • Hang out with positive vibes
Mistakes are wonderful opportunities to learn! • The 4 Rs of Recovery: • RECOGNIZE you made a mistake • Take RESPONSIBILITY for your behaviour • RECONCILE and apologize if necessary • RESOLVE by focusing on a solution
