Teachers, if you are having a tough time with behavior management this year you are not alone. Students are a bit out of practice with self-management and self-direction. It takes time to readjust to a new normal. Be patient with your students and be patient with yourself.

How to have a disagreement that opens minds instead of closing them: How can you possibly believe that? → How did you arrive at that view? That's ridiculous! → I'm surprised to hear you say that. Tell me more You're wrong! → What would lead you to rethink that?
