Finding the formula for success transforms…
• Josh’s story
• “Every child has within him or her a formula for effective learning and authentic success. We can enable a child who has differences in learning to understand himself and to be understood by the adult world.
• This model provides a means for understanding and managing weak school performance whenever a child’s brain functions can’t keep up with demands.” (Levine, 2002, One Mind at a Time).

Culturally Relevant Strategies Encourage use and sharing of primary language in reading,
writing, and speaking
Highlight students’ countries of origin on a map
Be aware of differences in communication styles
Reaffirm connectedness/community by having a class discussion
Group desks together and share materials
Show specific interest in students as individuals, by greeting students at the door or being aware of extracurricular events they might have
Verify that assignments do not alienate certain students due to their background
Have high expectations for all students; differentiate only as needed to help students achieve success
What other strategies do you use?
SCARFSCARF is a cognitive tool, a heuristic*, for quickly
and easily recalling the potential impact of your actions on others (and others’ actions on you), thus enabling the possibility of different choices. (*heuristic: tool that helps you problem solve quickly)
Used with Developmental Stages of a TeamForming, Storming, Norming, and Performing

SCARF in the Classroom“Social threats in particular, such as a fear of
looking bad in front of your peers, can inhibit high quality perception, cognition, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. Having a memorable language for social threats and rewards allows us to notice these experiences at several points that we may not otherwise: before, during, or after an emotion-producing event.”

Classroom Applications
Teaching with Love and Logic
The Four Key Principles of Love and LogicThe Enhancement of Self-concept
Relationship building “I noticed that…” Getting them to love you.
Deposits in emotional bank accountThrough Ebony Eyes by Gail Thompson “Effective Strategies
with Students of Color p65Shared ControlConsequences with EmpathyShared Thinking
“All effective systems allow people to learn from the results of their own decisions.” p26 Love and Logic
Teaching with Love and Logic
The Three Basic Rules of Love and Logic- how to apply the 4 principles in the classroomUse Enforceable LimitsProvide Choices Within LimitsApply Consequences with Empathy (Consequences
don’t have to follow immediately)http://www.loveandlogic.com/t-what-is-for-Love-an
d-Logic-teachers.aspx
Enhancement of Self-Concept
1. I’m loved by the “magic” people in my life. Establish a relationship of unconditional acceptance and respect. Give positive relationship messages whenever a negative content message is sent.“Just because I like you, I can’t let you get away with tha
t.”
I know more about my strengths than my weaknesses. Don’t remind kids of their weaknesses, but praise them for their strengths.
I can handle consequences of my own behavior. Don’t rescue kids from inside or outside pain of consequences. (10-2)
Shared ControlTeachers gain control by giving some of it away.
Do I want to control kids or do I want to obtain their cooperation? We either give control on our terms, or the kids will take it on theirs. (p139 Love and Logic) Establish classroom rules through discussion.1. Give choices that are legitimate and equally
acceptable to you.2. Your delivery is important. Try to start with:
You’re welcome to ____ or _____.Feel free to _____ or ______.Would you rather ______ or _____?Example Chart p. 154
Consequences with Empathy and Shared
ThinkingGive the child the opportunity to be involved in the
solution/decision making. Demonstrate problem solving techniques if the child cannot solve problem.
Administer the consequences with calm interest. Be empathetic.
Give students the opportunity to develop a new plan of behavior for next time.
Use “anchoring” to lower the student’s emotional state- lowered tone of voice, calm demeanorHeads down, lights out, write it out (10-2)
Amy’s Tips Deescalating opportunities
The safe seat Reflection sheets Writing or drawing to vent Time out in room (child returns to group when ready) Buddy classrooms Helping teacher before class or at recess
Teaching correct behaviors vs. punishment
Organizational techniques More organized, less behavioral issues Clear signals for responses Teach and practice group work protocols and protocols for
