Meet and Greet:
Let kids know you care
This first step is essential to the success of your time with
the students. It begins when you greet students and draw
them into a relationship.
• Start the day with a positive greeting
• Affirm each student
• Welcome them as they come in by giving them your full
attention
• Shake hands or welcome with a greeting

Social Contract
• Opportunity to teach the concept of
teamwork. An effective social contract = a self
managing group.
• Part of growing a group means facing conflict in
a postive manner for the benifit of supporting
teamwork.
• The concept of the social contract is most
effective when used with all the strategies
related to Capturing Kids Hearts .
Consequences/ Hand Signals
Classroom Hand Signals
Pioneer Central School
Teacher to Class - to quiet down and pay
attention
Student to Student - to tell another student
to check their behavior
Putdowns/Fouls - to tell another student that
they putdown another student and need to
give 2 put-ups
Four Questions
The 4 questions should be first used with the whole group
to hold them accountaable to self manage thier behavior.
1. What are you doing?
2. What are you supposed to be doing?
3. Are you doing it?
4. What are you going to do about it?
• Ask only the given questions
• No lecturing during or after
• Don't move to the next question until you get an
appropriate answer to the question you are asking.
• Don't fall for smoke screens/Don't argue
• Don't bail them out by giving them the answer.
• Don't approach the student when your buttons are
pushed.
• Watch your body language and tone.
• Do not accept "good" or "bad" for an answer.
Make the questions work for you.
• Initially only ask the question two times
• Create silence.
• Give genuine affirmations about the person.
Teaching Voice Level
Why it is important: Explain to class why different voice
levels are important and necessary at different times and
places throughout school. Five some examples from
everyday life: playground, hallway, lunch room, school
bus, church, football game, movie theater, cell phones in
public places, etc.
0 = Silent
1 = Whisper
2 = Conversation: One – to – one, or small group – can’t be
heard on the other side of the room.
3= Presentation: Speaking to a whole room
4= Emergency/Shouting: Outdoors, speaking to a very large
group, or maybe gym class only!
Role Play of Situations
Positive Launch
The launch has to do with the way we end and
send the students. This is vastly different from
just having students rush out the door when the
bell rings.
This gives you the opportunity to end your time
with students on a postive note and paves the way
for the next encounter you have with the student.
