Thank you.<br /><br />Michael, that question is so much more complicated as a substitute because you don't really know the students. I think that your response depends upon what you mean when you say a student isn't responding to you, if they are not doing anything dangerous and are not too disruptive (that line in the sand is up to you, of course)then my vote would be to ignore the issue in that moment. Then, hopefully, to follow up with a conversation when you and the student are not the center of everyone's attention. If they are dangerous or too disruptive, it's a whole other issue.<br /><br />luckeyfrog, I may have to try that Stop, Think, Act strategy for myself! I have students who could benefit as well, but it sounds good for me.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725549451973770515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10378966.post-71264113497632798112012-04-09T23:10:02.611-04:002012-04-09T23:10:02.611-04:00Our counselor is using a strategy with one of my k...Our counselor is using a strategy with one of my kids.<br /><br />Stop- realize you're letting anger take over, and stop yourself.<br />Think- think about the options for reacting that you have, and what their consequences will be<br />Act- act in a way that is respectful to yourself and others.<br /><br />It's really helping him... most days!<br /><br />I always have to figure out what works.
