Module 2: Delaying Consequences

Thank you again for your promptness and discussion in our meeting yesterday on Module 2: Delayed Consequences. For our next meeting on September 23 from 3:15-4pm in the Office Conference Room there are two things we would like you to complete. First, please be sure to have read and written down a few notes on the two remaining readings for the module, Readings 2.2 and 2.3. We will discuss those as part of our next session. Also, please reflect and discuss in the comment section below a response to the following prompts:

1) On the second page of Reading 2.1, the author notes, "The next time a student does something inappropriate, experiment by saying very softly, Oh, no. This is sad. I'm going to have to do something about this! But not now...later...try not to worry about it." Is this realistic in the classroom? Have you ever experimented with a response like this? Is there something similar that you have found that works just as well? Please share your thoughts and experience.

2) I really enjoyed the final paragraph of Reading 2.1. Share your thoughts on the paragraph after rereading the short section and ultimately answering the question, what then becomes important in our teaching when it comes to consequences and discipline?

Module 1: Neutralizing Student Arguing

Welcome to our first discussion topic. Earlier in the week we introduced the Love and Logic class and discussed Module 1: Neutralizing Student Arguing. We appreciate the input you gave, sharing both struggles we've had in this area as well as methods of neutralizing the arguing. Over next week, please take a few moments to discuss (and write down) methods you've used in the past to prevent power struggles with students. Also, reflect on the first few days of school and discuss one Love and Logic principle you've used to help a student or maintain your own sanity. Please use the comment section below for all discussions. Thanks and good luck!

Welcome!

Welcome to the Kimberly High School Love and Logic discussion group. Thank you for checking in, please return in the near future for the first discussion post.
