Thanks again for your attendance and participation at our discussion this week on Modules 4 & 5 of the Love and Logic class. As mentioned, we are going to rely on the blog this time to do a lot of our communicating and discussing due to our lack of time on Wednesday. Please reflect on and respond to the following three prompts:
1) Please reread Reading 5.2, "When Multiple Students Misbehave at Once." This was one of my favorite readings in the class and one in which I made a major mistake two years ago (I'll share in the comments below). Please refelct on this reading, including any experience you've had with a situation like this and if you agree or disagree with the steps they recommend in dealing with this issue.
2) Module 4 is one of my favorite parts of the Love and Logic concept. I appreciate how they address the fact that one or two students can ruin the learning environment for the rest of the class, and as a teacher or parent this is not acceptable. Please reflect on our discussions related to Recovery and Time Out and post your thoughts, including how you feel you could use the recovery process in your classroom.
3) Finally, when we next meet on December 1, we will look at Module 6, "Setting Limits with Enforceable Statements." In preparation, please list one or two things you've done in the past that has been successful in communicating with students without that communication leading to a power struggle.
