It’s the same when it comes to school suspensions. The evidence is there, in spades, that it doesn’t work and that there are much better ways. 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗

We shouldn’t punish kids for being kids. If they sit in desks too long, don’t be surprised if they get fidgety or talkative. They need more time & places to play, move, socialize & be kids. That's how they naturally learn. And don't take away recess as punishment. They need it

1. Punishment uses fear. It says, unless you stop behaving that way, I will make you unhappy. Some children learn to use that on others. ‘If you don’t stop shouting at me then I’m going to break your favourite vase’ makes adults angry - but the logic is learnt from us. 2/

When a young person is in a dysregulated state this is not the time for reasoning and questions. What happened?.Why did you do this?.You should have know better?.The highest part of the brain(Pre-frontal Cortex) thinking ,reasoning,decision making ,learning memory is offline.

LOVE this. I tell classes early and often this is my signal that they're ready and listening. "Your pen down and your eyes on me is my signal you're ready." I'm performative and *bothered* about EVERYONE doing this. "Just a sec.. Chantelle you still working? Ready? Cheers."

Alfie Kohn@alfiekohn·
I'm old enough to remember when "evidence-based" meant "based on evidence." Now it denotes practices derived from behaviorism - direct instruction, systematic phonics instruction, ABA & PBIS - even though (as I've argued at length) all these rest more on ideology than on evidence

@msrebeccabirch I’m hearing a lot of schools/systems talking about an attendance crisis. It’s actually an engagement crisis. We need to start with why the pandemic has changed the way kids view school kqed.org/mindshift/5897…

'If Your Behaviour Doesn't Improve...'. Parents often tell me about the behaviour systems used in their children's classrooms. Children's names are moved from the sun to the clouds, or from green zone to red zone. Here's why I think this should stop. (with @_MissingTheMark) 1/
