School Culture: Reactive vs. Proactive
Reflect upon your own school or classroom. Envision your classroom management practices and those of the educators around you. Could your school or classroom culture shift from reactive to proactive?
Rather than approaching classroom management from the perspective of having power OVER your students, could you empower your students to have power over themselves—to relax, focus and make positive choices. This behavioral tool empowers your students to reflect on their decision making process and make more positive choices moving forward which, in turn, will create a more mindful classroom: one breath at a time.
