  4. Guidance- • uses good judgement • offers empathy • clearly indicates the desired behaviour for younger children when necessary • example: “You need to use your words.” • non example: “Don’t hit!” • builds upon our philosophy of education so we are congruent

  8. Guidance- Techniques EFFECTIVE PRAISE OR ENCOURAGEMENT Hitz and Driscoll (1988,p.12) • Daniel just finished a painting. He comes to you, the teacher, and says, “Look at my painting. Isn’t it beautiful?” • You reply, “You look happy about your painting. Look at all the colours you used.” • How is this different from other praise?

  9. Guidance- Techniques EFFECTIVE PRAISE OR ENCOURAGEMENT • Sue seldom talks in the group. Today she told a short story about Hallowe’en. • “That was a very scary story you told. It gave me goose-bumps.” • How is this different from other praise?

  10. Guidance- Techniques INEFFECTIVE PRAISE: • “I like the way you put up your hand.” Why? • This praise is manipulative, value laden and judgmental. • We need to get in the habit of providing children with information about what they did coupled with WHY it made a difference, (the results of their choices).

  11. Defending limits: purpose Is the purpose protection or control? restrictiveness less is better: for example quiet voices instead of no talking flexibility may need to modify timetable, assignment, etc. Guidance- Techniques & Kohn

  17. Guidance on the playground:Peacemaker model • Peacemaker programs are being used throughout the province. • They provide the shirt, and training kit to schools and other groups. • A teacher has to take the initiative to do the training and monitor the program, wash the shirts, make the certificates. • Like all programs, some student loose interest quickly because it cuts into their playtime. • Other students become excellent mediators.
