Describe something you used in your program in the first weeks of school that you learned in the summer NTI program. How did it work? Did it get you off to a stronger start than last year?

This summer we learned different classroom management techniques to redirect misbehaving students. It is very useful to employ those techniques as appropriate. My new students reacted well to the techniques used and responded appropriately. My returning students thought something was wrong because I very calmly redirected their behavior. Initially, they did not know how to "accept" my techniques, but eventually they responded accordingly.

I am very happy with the change and I look forward to implementing other techniques learned.
