Enhancement behavior

1 thing you shouldn’t say
Do you really have to pull him out for therapy at this time? Instead suggest allotting more center time so child does not get behind
2nd thing you shouldn’t say
I’m calling because….something negative instead, I’m calling bc they hD a good day and did (something specific the child struggled with) ensure plenty of positive so the blow of negativity it less severe
3rd thing you shouldn’t say
Didn’t finish this today’s so I need them to finish it at home instead just don’t it at all if it’s important find time during the school day
4th thing to not stay
Won’t (talk, listen, be still, pat attention, etc…) instead say you are struggling to get —-to stop. Here’s what I am planning to try next is there any strategy you have had success with at home?
5th thing not to say
I’m his teacher I can’t….think about this real hard and it’s something you absolutely cannot do talk with your administrator and ard team about how to meet this need. Bring parents to a solution instead of leaving them to find one
Discuss what Wong means “learning has nothing to do with what the teacher covers. Learning has to do with what the student accomplishes” and how that relates to the 3 student centered domains of PDAS
Learning lies within the student and what they internalize/accomplish. The teacher can cover anything, but it is irrelevant if the student doesn’t learn anything. PDAS is focused around the student in the areas of engagement, instruction, and evaluation bc if the teacher is truly being effective, then the results will lie within the students accomplishments
