3. Proactive Primary Management Build a positive classroom culture:
Trust your students can and will learn
Set a happy, safe, consistent tone
Express your sense of awe and marvel at astute comments or artistic expression
Whenever possible use the child’s natural way of learning “observe, try and refine”

6. Proactive Primary Management Peacemakers Program:

8. Proactive Primary Management Peacemaker Problem Solving Model:
Find a quiet place to talk
Ask each person to tell what happened. Listen to both sides.
Brainstorm ideas on how to solve the problem. (at least 3 or 4)
Choose one solution that is agreeable to everyone.
Try it!
9. Reactive Primary Management Restate the rule and the reason for the rule as necessary.
Example: We need to use our indoor voices because with so many of us talking as we work, it is too distracting for some learners.
Take exercise and/or nutrition breaks as needed
Use verses and clapping patterns to reorient attention as needed
10. Reactive Primary Management Insure safety at all times.
In JK and SK teachers often enforce “no hitting” with a “You hit, you sit” timeout strategy.
In grades 1, 2, and 3 you may use the “Red, Yellow, Green Light” strategy with individual students.
11. Positive Reactive Management Strategies Criss Cross Applesauce
If you hear my voice clap once
Clap pat patterns
Actions for being quiet (button, hook, Velcro, zipper)
Verses:
Roll your hands
I have two hands
12. Positive Reactive Management Strategies Red, Yellow, Green Light:
Red light- I know I am angry and that when I am angry I often invade others personal space and may hurt them.
I need to take some time to think things through and deal with my anger.
13. Positive Reactive Management Strategies Red, Yellow, Green Light:
Yellow: I can now think of things that I could do outside that are positive and will not get me into trouble. I have chosen three things I’ll do.
Green light: I am going outside and I’m going to try out my solutions. If I am having trouble, I’ll seek out the teacher on duty.
14. Punitive Reactive Management Strategies Time out
Sitting a child on a chair outside of the group
Losing recess
Hobson’s choice
