Thank you to Sean Nash for Slideset

What has this to do with praise?

Inviting the student to learn.

The basis of being inviting is building

relationships.

Answers the question, “Will this teacher treat me fairly?”

Four Areas of Invitation

• verbal comments

• personal behaviors

• physical environment

• self-talk

Sort the following strips into two categories.

• Invitational

• Disinvitational

Students can refuse words, but they cannot refuse an invitational

attitude.

Four Levels of Invitational Education

Intentionally Disinviting

These teachers deliberately demean,

discourage, defeat, and dissuade students.

And they never smile.

Unintentionally Disinviting

These teachers are oblivious to the fact that they are negative people.

They feel that they are well-meaning but are seen by others as

chauvinistic, condescending, racist, sexist, patronizing, or

thoughtless.

And they keep their arms folded when interacting with

students.

Unintentionally Inviting

These are the “natural-born teachers.” Such teachers are

generally well-liked and effective. They are usually affable, and this characteristic often hides the fact

that their students may not be learning to their fullest potential.

These teachers are sincere, they try very hard, and we like to have them

as friends.

And they bubble with excitement.

Intentionally Inviting

These teachers have a professional attitude, work

diligently and consistently, and strive to be more effective. They

have a sound philosophy of education and can analyze the

process of student learning. They know what it means to be

invitational, and they work at it.

And they use the proper emotion at the proper time.

• With your table, look at the charts we’ve created.

• Which of these actions are intentional?

• Which are unintentional?

Effective teachers know how to open the door and invite their

students to learn.

Procedures

If you do not structure your classroom, the students will structure the classroom for

you.

Harry Wong

Responsible

Highly engaged in meaningful tasks

Motivated

Procedures“THE NUMBER ONE

PROBLEM IN THE CLASSROOM IS NOT

DISCIPLINE; IT IS THE LACK OF PROCEDURES AND

ROUTINES.”

WHAT PROCEDURES DO YOU NEED TO ESTABLISH IN YOUR CLASSROOM?

Take a moment to think... and jot them down in your notebooks.

(Please draw a line down the middle of your page and write your procedures in the left column.)

Give One-Get One

• Walk around the room during the music and stop when the music stops.

• Find your closest neighbor.

• “Give” them one of your procedures.

• “Get” one of theirs.

• Write it in the right column of your notebook.

• Repeat.

• Take a few moments to read pages 165-169.

• As you’re reading, find the sentence that sticks out in your mind & mark it.

• Do the same for a phrase.

• Repeat with a word.

• When you’re finished reading, add your sentence, phrase, and word to the charts.

Independent Reading

PROCEDURES HAVE BETWEEN THREE AND FIVE STEPS.

Practice

• Look through the list compiled from Harry Wong.

• Pick 5 procedures from your notebook collection and/or Harry’s list.

• Write the “procedure” for each.

• Share at your table.

What does it look like to follow a procedure?

• Model your expectations!

• Got it!

• Almost Got It

• Not It

THE THREE STEPS TO TEACHING PROCEDURES

1. Explain. State, explain, model, and demonstrate the procedure.

2. Rehearse. Rehearse and practice the procedure under your supervision.

3. Reinforce. Reteach, rehearse, practice, and reinforce the classroom procedure until it becomes a student habit or routine.

Basic Beliefs

Classroom organization and procedures have a huge impact on student behavior.

How do I teach them to do what I want them to do?

Basic Beliefs

Focus more time on positive!

Remember, inviting vs. disinviting language.
