Summary

Teachers are often told to "focus on the positive and ignore the negative" when it comes to student behavior. While providing positive reinforcement and specific praise is good practice, it's NOT the only thing we need to do, and consequences are a part of learning behavioral expectations.

So how do we get the outcome of better behavior?

Classroom teacher Amy Stohs is here to share how her teaching philosophy manifests in a blend of grace and consequences in the classroom. Having taught at both the early elementary and middle school level, Amy offers practical guidance about how to take away privileges as a logical consequence for students at all age levels.

Amy also shares tips for maintaining a productive learning environment even during the final weeks of the school year, having fun with each other, and enjoying the classroom community you've built together.
