    Study Notes

    • Reflective writing can help students think about the problematic behaviors and come up with solutions.
    • Students answer questions regarding the incident. What happened? Why did I do it? How did my actions affect others? What can I do to correct the situation?
    • Then, they use their answers to create a well-written essay. I find it helpful to keep graphic organizers handy for students who need help with structuring their responses.
    • Students also follow a rubric that holds them accountable for including a topic sentence, supporting sentences, a conclusion, and a paper free of grammatical errors. Our teachers use these essays to teach concepts such as word choice and sentence structure.
    • These reflective essays are not about punishment: They help students sort through their emotions and provide valuable insight into the true cause of their actions.
    • An added bonus of this strategy is that it can provide effective documentation for parent-teacher conferences and for Student Assistance Teams.
    • Using reflective writing not only strengthens writing skills but also affords students the opportunity to grow from their mistakes.
    • Teachers need to be aware of how their students are behaving and take appropriate action when necessary.
    • Students should be respectful and responsible in order to maintain good relationships with their teachers.
    • It is important to have a clear understanding of what is expected of students in order to maintain a positive classroom environment.
    • Examples of positive conduct can be found in the text.
    • By responding to undesirable behavior logically and speaking with kindness, teachers can keep their students in the classroom and protect their relationships with them.
