Respectful redirection can help you remind students about behavior expectations and give feedback. And all without embarrassing them!

You can give calm, clear feedback when students go off track. She shares why this positive behavior strategy can work especially well for students with learning and thinking differences. That includes students with ADHD. Plus she offers key dos and don’ts for using it in the classroom. This video is part of our Positive Behavior Strategies series.
