  2. Reframe and Renew • Adjust the way you consider a situation • “How will I help this kid? What can he learn during this conversation?” • “How will I support and maintain our high standards?” • Breathe! Take an appreciative moment.

  6. Closing the conversation: Congratulate the student for his respectful, calm self-advocacy (a successful student strategy) “Even though the outcome wasn’t what you had hoped for, you should be proud of yourself that you came to see me and engaged in a meaningful dialogue.
