Good Afternoon,

I wanted to get this post out before the break so that we can spend our time thinking about Love and Logic over the next four days.

Three things we would like you to reflect on before our next meeting on November 10:

1) In our last discussion we asked the question on the topic of whether we should get angry at times to let the students know we are serious. As a follow-up to that question, share your thoughts on whether, in the Love and Logic paradigm, it is acceptable to get angry at students.

2) What alternatives do you use when students are acting inappropriately in class but a trip to Mr. Verboomen is not the right choice?

3) What methods have you found to be useful in building relationships with tough students?

Enjoy your break!

Module 3: Empathy

In prepartion for our discussion on October 13 on the topic of Empathy please share your thoughts on the following points:

1) I've had a few teachers ask me recently what to do when they have students sleeping in their classes. Based on our discussions thus far and your background information on Love and Logic principles, how would you respond?

2) One of the things we will look into in Module 3 is holding students accountable without them seeing us as the source of their problem and without responding by sending them into survival mode. How have you in the past held students accountable while keeping their best interests in mind.

See you on the 13th!
