Classroom ExpectationsThe school expects that:“students behave sensibly and courteously and that they accept that a family of 800 needs more rules than a family of five.”

Three worst things. 1. Punishment (increases the behaviour in long
term). 2. Inconsistent approach. 3. Love withdraw (this is the worst).
All good behaviour change comes from a partnership (love withdrawal makes the love conditional not unconditional which is very dangerous).
Images from ‘Scared Straight’.
Resulted in kids thinking "wow I'm only this bad and this guy is super bad arse I can be heaps worse".

Three best things. 1. Reward positive behaviour. 2. Induction (trick them into thinking it's there
idea to do the right thing). 3. Cognitive training (training their thinking)...
simply tell them what they should have done instead.
Nathan Mikaere WallisIf you say "think of a blue car" this will take 25% of frontal cortex - then if you say "don't think of a red plane" the frontal cortex will force you to do this. So we should be going through the best/good actions with our students. The language that comes out of the mouth of teachers is the single most important factor in a school climate. E.g. "you will need to sit on that chair everyone else sits on their chairs in this classroom". The more detail you can paint in that frontal lobe the better the effect. e.g. if you get a 2 year hits another for the toy you can teach them (realising their still two)... bring the cortex online.
