CONNECT- connections are natural emotional bonds.
Teachers have hundreds of opportunities every day to provide encouragement and affirmation that lead to positive connections.
CLARIFY- helping students to clarify and think through their problems and difficulties, to reflect on their challenges, THE TEACHER supports and models positive problem solving skills.
RESTORE- resolving conflict in positive ways and meeting students needs creates natural harmony and healing. The goal is to build strength.
This is very different from the usual chain of :
NAG-NAG-THREATEN---PUNISH!!!
