PROJECT Thrive: INTERVENE
Designing Strategic Support Systems That Work
No, these approaches are not guaranteed to lead to a perfectly smooth-running classroom with engaged students all the time doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing. There will always be those students who are off-task and disengaged, potentially interrupting the learning of those around them. In this thread, we discuss approaches to engaging with off-task, disruptive students to bring them back into compliance with expectations and restore the classroom environment that leads to positive learning outcomes.
This strand focuses on proactive and responsive strategies for addressing disruptive behaviors and re-engaging students. Topics include using verbal and nonverbal cues for redirection, implementing de-escalation techniques, and creating individualized intervention plans. Educators will also learn how to analyze the root causes of off-task behaviors, adjust environmental factors to minimize disruptions, and build positive relationships to encourage student cooperation. By employing these targeted approaches, teachers can effectively redirect students while maintaining a supportive and productive learning atmosphere.
