No matter how much I paddled them, suspended them, restrained them, or secluded them.
The resources are available. Research has and is being done. There are evidence based strategies that are available. Can we just get them into the classroom?
Maybe we could all have a dream for a positive behavioral support plan for every student. We will obtain it when we ascend the mountain of ignorance.
Florida & Tampa Bay schools blog - The Gradebook:
"Where is the discussion about the necessary resources to teach behavior?
Most educators, even those who believe control is through power, understand the need to match teaching strategies to the needs of the student.
8:28 speaks to this when they speak of a student who 'cannot be reasoned with in the same way that other students can.'
The question is about learning 'a way' to reason with 'these students.'
Ask this question out loud:
'If usual teaching methods do not work with these students, then why do we expect usual punishments to work with these students?'
In other words, where is the specialized instruction in special education?
