Student Surveys

she was from

me communicate with her better.
- Amir, Grade 9
I say kind words because I know
- Ms. A likes them.
- Jahsir, Grade 3
I loved this survey because I want my teachers to know all about me. If you don’t like your teacher though, you won’t want to open up to them about that stuff.

A trigger is something that causes something else to happen.
What might cause a student to refuse to complete an assignment?
SLIDE 18
Disruptive Behaviors and Triggers
❏ Look at the list of disruptive behaviors in interactive notes. ❏ Within your group, discuss potential triggers for the behaviors. ❏ Be prepared to share out with the whole group.
SLIDE 19
Share Out
❏ Did you have any Aha! moments while listening to the group share out? ❏ Can you think of any other possible triggers or antecedents?

De-escalation Strategies
❏ Ensure safety of the child and others ❏ Talk slowly with a low tone of voice and limit body movements ❏ Calm yourself with deep breathing; the child will imitate you ❏ Ensure the child that you want to help him or her ❏ Eliminate loud noises and minimize the number of people in the vicinity ❏ Have child focus on something outside of the body (i.e. counting tiles) ❏ Provide a calm and quiet space ❏ Don’t lecture or ask a lot of questions ❏ Minimize verbalization
