about a kid being “off-task” –

one of our favourite buzzwords

– my first response is going to

Application Go back to your charts from the beginning

of class

In the second column, guess what could be going on (use the theorists)

In the third column, discuss what is needed / what needs to be considered in order to meet the child’s goal / need.

Homework:

Open your management plan file

For homework last class you were to write a small paragraph on the importance of a teacher to consider the affective domain when planning. Under this paragraph, skip one line, and support your argument using one of the theorists we discussed today. Make it short! (Principals hate to read a lot during interviews.) Remember to link this paragraph back to your last homework paragraph.
