Modifications:

  ·       Use a matter-of-fact, neutral tone of voice

  ·       Take a short break if you are too angry to deal with the situation in that moment

  ·       Suggest to the student that they take a break to calm down

  ·       Use support staff to help you and the student

  ·      Engage students in a problem solving process when both parties are calm
Creating a psychologically supportive classroom:

  ·       Caring relationships with adults

  ·       Opportunities for meaningful participation in learning
