Right now students need the adults to be unconditional, predictable, and kind. Be unconditional by leaning into the relationship. Be predictable with structures and routines. Be kind in all interactions. Every student is worthy of success! #BISTon #AllInCARE @OurCornerstones

This week be visible and intentional as students arrive on school grounds. Reconnect your relationship, reteach procedures and routines, demand that students meet high expectations. This will help reduce worry to create a calmer learning environment. #BISTon @OurCornerstones

Adult perseverance and resilience through the holiday season is critical to maintain a calm, predictable school culture. Adults stay kind and connected to each other. The work you do with students on a daily basis is important heart work. #BISTon #AllInCARE @OurCornerstones

Lean into the relationship! Students must know they can’t be bad enough to get rid of us. When students reject, the adults must see this as a missing skill and extend a partnership to help guide students to more frequent success. #BISTon #AllInCARE @OurCornerstones

Predictability is part of an unconditional relationship. It falls into 3 areas: 1. Community—common actions among the adults. 2. Logistical—procedures and routines. 3. Personal—my mood does not determine how I interact with you. #BISTon #AllInCARE @OurCornerstones

Connection is critical! By greeting students at the door by name on a daily basis you can increase engagement and decrease disruption. Be sure to intentionally assess and address student emotion in order to protect the learning environment. #BISTon #AllInCARE @OurCornerstones

Boundaries provide emotional safety for students which helps reduce worry. Boundaries fall under: 1. It’s never ok to be disruptive to learning, it’s always ok to be a good learner, 2. It’s never ok to be hurtful, it’s always ok to be kind. #BISTon #AllInCARE @OurCornerstones

Grace—an unconditional relationship has four significant components. 1. Boundaries, 2. Connection, 3. Predictability, 4. Leaning into the relationship. Are you providing these on a consistent basis? #BISTon #AllInCARE @OurCornerstones

Parent teacher conferences provide an opportunity to enhance partnerships with families. Families want their children to 1. Be smart, 2. Have friends, 3. Feel good about themselves and 4. Stay out of trouble. How will you help students achieve? #BISTon #AllInCARE @OurCornerstones

Processing with students after an issue gives the adults a chance to reconnect and hold students verbally accountable. Use this as an opportunity to increase partnerships, help students problem solve and plan future solutions. #BISTon #AllInCARE @OurCornerstones

Common language falls into 3 areas: community language, language of partnership, language of redirection. All language is meant to reduce resistance and increase trust in order for adults to coach students for more frequent success. #BISTon #AllInCARE @OurCornerstones

Early intervention—1 verbal redirect then take action per activity. This is critical to stop contagious behavior, to increase adult credibility and to reduce adult emotion in the redirect. Revisit this concept as a staff on a monthly basis. #BISTon #AllInCARE @OurCornerstones

There are 3 building equalizers that make every adult in the building equal with students: 1. Early intervention, 2. Common language, 3. Processing. Focus on the adult competence in each area to increase community predictability. #BISTon #AllInCARE @OurCornerstones

In 25-26 let’s create a cohesive adult mindset. The way we think drives the way we act. More than ever students need the adult community to be predictable and consistent in actions. This allows kids to trust multiple adults at a quicker pace. #BISTon #AllInCARE @OurCornerstones
