       Positive Intentions

       Chapter 9 discusses positive intent.  It says that difficult or
       challenging students need positive intent above all else because
       they have defined themselves as bad or unworthy and they live
       out this self fulfilling prophecy at school.  Can you describe a
       time when you have assigned positive intent to a student's
       behavior and the outcome was significantly better than it could
       have been?

       There is a boy in my class named Angel. He had a really hard
       time in Kinder and beginning first grade communicating when he
       was upset about something. He would just yell, throw things,
       hit, etc. There have been a few times over the past few weeks
       that Angel has been frustrated but seeks me out. He starts
       yelling but I first ask him to breathe and I place my hand on
       his back or chest so that he knows I need to feel his deep
       breath. Then I use DNA and he usually corrects me if I get
       something wrong. Then I ask him if he knows the words or if
       needs my help with them. He usually knows the words to say but
       asks me to go with him. And this usually solves the problem.
       This has been happening more and more. And I've noticed his
       outbursts are happening less and less.

       I figure if I approach a situation with positive intent, then
       tell the student who struggles why, it helps way faster and
       gives a huge success in school.
