Self-Regulation

by mv/bc

Mar 10, 2015

My colleague and I are putting together a presentation on self-regulation for a group of parents with preschool aged children. I know there is a lot of info on the web, but if you personally know of a really good resource or particular article that would help us with our presentation that would be really appreciated!! Thank you.

Flacka At the interviews I have been part of, they usually ask about reading and how you go about teaching it. Other key issues are ESL students, classroom management, and lesson planning.

Behavior and mom

by Getting too old for this

Feb 22, 2015

I have a student who tattles constantly. I told her that I would not listen unless she is hurt or someone else is hurt. Mom does not like this one bit. Tells me that daughter feels like I am not paying attention to her. She is also one that wants to go to the nurse frequently. I won't let her unless she is feverish or about to get sick.

If mom gets a call EVERY day to come pick her up, I'm hoping that MOM gets tired of having to pick up her "complainer who cried wolf." The situation will fix itself. Plus, if mom's not happy about anything, show WONT be happy if you refuse to send her little angel to the nurse.... so keep sending her! Mom will have nothing to complain about because you are "attending to the needs of her child by taking her complaints very seriously"... and sending her home.
