[Updated Audio] Effective Student Discipline (Glendon Strickler)
Mar 1600:49:14Tap to summarizeDrop us a question for the special, upcoming Q & R episode with Gerald Miller. As principals and administrators, it’s your responsibility to guide your teachers in effectively disciplining students and to get involved in handling the toughest cases. Many of you also teach and are on the first line of discipline yourselves. In this episode with Glendon Strickler, you will hear an overview of how to discipline students that will enable you to better equip your teachers as well as grow in your own approach to discipline. Glendon’s ideas have been formed through his experience of some very challenging teaching assignments and through his experience as a principal. He backs up his points with numerous stories from those experiences. Throughout the talk you’ll hear him unpack lessons he’s learned such as: effective discipline takes time, why students misbehave, approaching discipline through a student’s perspective, building a strong defense, and more. There are three main sections in the talk. Basic discipline techniques (6:25) The steps in a discipline session (28:00) Techniques to avoid (41:15) Links This talk was first published as “Modeling and Teaching the Anabaptist Christian Faith in a Practical Way Through Discipline” on The Dock: https://www.thedockforlearning.org/content/modeling-and-teaching-the-anabaptist-christian-faith-in-a-practical-way-through-discipline Other recordings from Teacher’s Week 2010: https://www.thedockforlearning.org/series/faith-builders-teacher's-week-2010 Questions for the Q & R episode: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/KQnYsYgPAq Contact us: https://thedockforlearning.org/contact-us/ 3-minute feedback: https://forms.office.com/r/1G564EGQkn
Transcribe →Great Opportunities (Stephen Gingerich)
Feb 2400:40:15Tap to summarizeDrop us a question for the special, upcoming Q & R episode with Gerald Miller. Sometimes problems come to us disguised as great opportunities. This episode with Stephen Gingerich addresses the challenge of working with high needs students. We’re not exploring specific learning disabilities here. That is sometimes part of the picture and deserves attention. This is more general and establishes a baseline for how we engage a high needs student. Drawing on his years of experience in education, much of it gained through his work in Guatemala, Stephen develops his approach around the three great virtues: faith, hope, and love. He reminds us that our goal is to prepare children for life. And for that they need well-formed skills but they need well-formed character more. And this character they absorb from their role models. This means they will take a part of us with them through their life. Stephen’s talk is generously sprinkled with stories of what relating to needy students looks like.
