AGD; attention getting device
spring break checkup (low risk way to get to know your students)
first three minutes is key. has to be productive or you will lose them
people like being read to.
planned absences are key, make sure you touch base with the sub so it is still a productive class
The moral of the story is that if you believe you are different it is only a matter of time before people realize your difference is beautiful. you just have to find the right time. it might not be perfect but it shows you for you. be patient and never stop believing in yourself.
What if there is a parent who does not support their child's sexuality or sexual identity? how do you encorage the student without angering the parent?
WRFA; you have the legal responsability to report it, even if its only a suspicion
what is a good example to model acceptance
what are things to look for to help a child come to know themselves
WRFA: make them laugh, put their hands on their head when they're done.
Scenario 1.
make sure that they understnad you will not tell anyone if it does not harm them or others
ask them if they are comfortable talking here
if you cannot talk then, arrange a time
I am here to support you
WRFA; keep your door open when talking to kids. if needed bring someone else in the room
WRFA: murphey's law; if it can go wrong it will, make sure you have a mindset to protect yourself
2. I believe it is important for kids to realize that they are not bad people just because they are gay
bring a councelor in
ask if their parents have done anything bad to them?
ask them if they feel safe at home
WRFA; three positive comments before doing anything else
WRFA: involve mentor, team mate, guidance coulcelor, soial worker and staff representative
WRFA: never get into the right or wrong of the issue. the legal term of captive audience; people must legally be in your room you can not use that time to make statements of right or wrong
3. i would remind the class as a whole, not naming names, that it is important to respect your classmates. i would also ask the two students to stay after class (door open) and find out what happened.
act swiftly and promptly and very obviously
have a catchphrase, go into broken record.
WRFA: publicly squashed. must set the tone.
WRFA: make sure both students write downs what happened and then sign it
WRFA; tolerance. your job is to advocate for kids and teach tolerance.
WRFA: have critical conversations with your students. make them feel uncomfortable by asking the questions you do want the answer to.
4.comfort
I would immediately ask them if their parents are aware of the situation
I would reccomend they deactivate their facebook account, talk to a councelor
although students rarely like to name names its impportant that bullying be squashed
WRFA: when it comes to discipline it should be two fold. it should be punitive and educational. You are going to get a consequence
be midnful of monitoring the situation after it is addressed.
you can take action on anything that disrupts the school day
5.Do i act or do i monitor?
if act;
it is important first of all to stress to the student that you support them
talk to them about their feelings but remind them that passing notes is not ok
is the friend ok with this
purposeful conversation
6. I would confront the coach right then and there and say that the language is not appropriate, especially in front of a student. I would ask the coach to apologize to the student and i would also possibly lodge an incident report
WRFA; silence is acceptance, do not accept descrimination
WRFA; you need to act...What would you do? you act until you see something change
WRFA: stand at the door beginning and end of class and you check in with EACH and every student.
7. You need to take all student involved, bring them aside, check first that no one is hurt and then impiment the punitive and educational punishment.
report it to the administration
monitor the situation
are you talking to the right people? if not, talk to someone higher up. get other involved
make sure that nothing actually has been done and no progress has been made. when you turn a kid over to the office you name is no longer involved, it is no longer your business.
