When I think of responding to student behavior, the first thing that comes to mind is a DAP principle. The DAP principle talks about the relationships that are so critical to be formed. These are parent/child, child/child, parent/teacher, and teacher/child. I think of this because when these relationships are strengthened students are able to become more comfortable in their environment and this can minimize negative and unwanted behavior.
Peer tutoring is one thing that was really stressed throughout this chapter. I think this is important because it encourages the relationships between students. I think this is also an awesome technique because teaching is the best way that we can learn. I know that as I have taught my peers throughout the duration of this class I have learned much more than I may have just studying for a test.
I think that as we help children take charge of their education they will take more pride in what they do. It is important that we tell students the why behind what we are teaching them and asking them to do. We are teaching the future.
