AMS Behavior Tip of the Week: Find the Right Tone of Voice
The tone of voice you use when speaking to your students matters. Using the wrong tone can have far-reaching effects, especially from your at-risk students. Every class will be different, so what worked for last year’s class might not quite fit the students you have this year. It might take a few days to get your tone just right, but once you do, the rewards can be big. Remember this when you must correct students, individually and as a group.

AMS Behavior Tip of the Week: Demonstrate
It’s likely you have certain procedures designed to make each day run smoothly. For some students, just telling them what those procedures are won’t be enough. Showing them, however, will help it stick. Interactive modeling will put actions to the words you use. If your morning routine includes coming in quietly, hanging up backpacks, stowing lunchboxes in cubbies, placing homework in a designed spot, and sitting down, demonstrate that procedure. As the year progresses, re-demonstrate it if need be.

AMS Behavior Tip of the Week: Assume the Best
Your students will behave as you expect them to. If you begin with the assumption that there will be misbehavior, chances are they will fulfill that expectation. However, if you expect the best from them and communicate these expectations, they will do everything they can to meet your assumptions about their character and abilities. It’s just human nature, and it’s at work in everyone from children to adults.
This week at AMS we will build on our expectations from last week and assume the best from our students.
