What did you Say?

You are molding these students into the human beings that they will become in the future.

What are some words/phrases that should not be said in the classroom? Explain your reasoning.

What could happen to you as a teacher if these words/phrases were repeated by a student?

Activity• Groups of 4.• Each group will pick a card.• The group will have time to make a skit or

scenario demonstrating the word that they picked.

• The class has to guess what word was being demonstrated.

• Have an open discussion as to why this should not be allowed in the classroom.

Unexpected Situations in the Classroom

Bullying, harassment, or abuse

Drug and alcohol use

Eating disorders Gang activity Sexual activity

and pregnancy

Suicide attempts Medical

emergencies Weather

emergencies Shootings Bomb threats

Be Prepared for ANYTHING!

Be prepared for unexpected situations. Know where to go for weather

emergencies. Have contacts of administration in your

classroom. If you see or suspect something, tell

someone. Know each child's medical history. Do not accuse student of anything.

Activity: Have a Plan Count off by 2’s. We will give you one of the ten unexpected

situations that we previously talked about. In some situations the counselor would be

the best option but lets say you are the only person available to talk to.

With your partner, explain the actions you would take in order to fix the situation.

Present your plan to the class.

REMEMBER! Be prepared. Be yourself. Enjoy teaching. Be smart in everything you do. You are a role model to your students

so always be that role model for them.

BREAK TIME!
