  1. Literacy Team – October 21, 2010 Sally Beck Northeastern Randolph Middle School

  2. Sign in And grab a snack

  3. EQ #1 How can we help our students here at NERMS grow both socially and academically?

  4. It’s a matter of balance. • There are TWO elements to instruction – social and academic • Our middle class kids come with an understanding of the social rules, but our economically disadvantaged students do not • Unless both elements are present, we’re not reaching our students who are children of poverty

  5. Eric Berne’s Three Voices • Internal voices in everyone’s head • The Child • The Parent • The Adult

  6. The Child Voice

  7. The Parent Voice

  8. The Adult Voice

  9. Stop and think.In terms of “voice” what do our children in poverty lack?

  10. Implications for schools • Discipline should promote successful behaviors • Structure and choice are important • Discipline should be a form of instruction

  11. Focus #1: The Hidden Rules About time and Money

  12. We cannot • Scold Students • Excuse or ignore their behavior

  13. We can • Teach students there are two sets of rules

  14. Example from Ruby Payne If a student from poverty laughs when he is disciplined, the teacher needs to say, “Do you use the same rules to play all video games: No, you don’t because you would lose. The same is true of school. There are street rules and there are school rules. Each set of rules helps you be successful where you are. So, at school, laughing when disciplined is not a choice. It does not help you be successful. It only buys you more trouble. Keep a straight face and look contrite, even if you aren’t.”
