 WELCOME

TO

  ZODIAC

 

"Students can't help how they feel, but they can learn to make choices about how they behave."

The purpose of the ZODIAC classroom is to give students the opportunity to practice using  appropriate strategies to cope with frustration, anger, disrespect, conflict, bullying, anxiety, etc.

Students need to learn to recognize what situations and events trigger their behavior.

Equal treatment is not always fair, and fair treatment is not always equal.

Change begins with external motivation.  Change is lasting when the motivation comes from within.

It is important to ask questions before making judgments.

Perception may not be reality.

Trust is earned.

Individuals are unique.  It makes sense that their preferences may differ.

Continued experimentation leads to the best solutions.

Climate is everything in a behavior classroom.

Humor goes a long way.

Behavior consequences cannot be arbitrary.

The needs of the group are just as important as the needs of the individual.

We all learn differently.
