Hello -,

Teachers and schools everywhere are preparing for the new school year, and many are turning to Love and Logic resources and training. Educators often tell us these techniques are easy to use and highly effective in the classroom. Many even say Love and Logic has been the key to their success with classroom management.

What Makes Love and Logic Teachers So Effective?
Love and Logic teachers challenge themselves every day by asking one simple question: How long can they go without providing a consequence for misbehavior? This isn't about being permissive, but about understanding a fundamental concept.

Highly effective teachers prevent misbehavior

while less effective teachers constantly react to it.

Challenges of Classroom Management
Over the years, we've found that most classroom management challenges come down to three simple realities:

When teachers must stop to provide a consequence, they are no longer teaching.
When teachers are no longer teaching, other students get restless and begin to act out.
Teachers really don’t have any consequences that will motivate the toughest students to behave.

Love and Logic’s Quick and Easy Approach
The Quick and Easy Classroom Intervention is one of the nine skills taught in our recently updated educator curriculum, 9 Essential Skills for the Love and Logic Classroom. These interventions rely on subtle actions to redirect behavior while maintaining the flow of the lesson. Below are some examples:

Begin with nonverbals such as:

Walk toward the student while continuing to teach.

Stand close to the student while teaching.

Get students thinking by asking:

“What do you plan to do about that?”

“Is this helping?”

Build the relationship:

Notice one of a student’s interests outside the classroom.

Casually comment on these by saying, “I noticed that you….”

These interventions can help you overcome some of the challenges that the upcoming school year will present.
