Intensive

The two day intensives were interesting, engaging, inspirational, and enlightening.  It has brought a sense of appreciation of what was happening in the weekly face to face sessions. The sample BIP’s  and the group discussion brought some clarity to me with regards to completing the Behaviour Intervention Plan.  I was about half way through my plan but I had not done any interview with the parent.  Participating in the intensives caused me to subsequently complete that aspect of the assessment. From the discussions it was reinforced that when students are meaningfully engaged, the classroom is well managed.  For the classroom to be effective and run smoothly there needs to be rules, routines, trust and student ownership. Teachers should therefore engage students in collaborating to create clear rules and discuss why rules are necessary.
