During our summer staff development, our whole campus was
able to receive training from Love and Logic for behavior guidance. The training was an eight hour training, and
I was able to help by modeling some student behaviors for our presenter. The staff all seemed on-board and willing to
give the Love and Logic strategies a try.
Faced with an especially challenging group of 8th
graders, I was able to use Love and Logic on the very first day of school. I also enrolled in a Love and Logic for
Parenting class that I attend once a week in the evenings. It is my hope to be able to share this
information with some particular parents as the need arises.
Last week, I met with the Academic Specialist, and we
created an update lesson for PLCs. We
presented it and included some new information that wasn’t given in the initial
training.
Everyone is still working on the basic processes of Love and
Logic, and many of the teachers had questions at the PLC meetings. However, the referrals for 8th
grade ELAR are already less than they were by this time last year, and we are
hearing students make comments about the way class is being run.
Next, I plan to work on a parent component, but I am not
quite sure what / how it will work. Stay
tuned!
