Essentially, you have to treat your students like human beings. According to Larry Ferlazzo, you have to engage them and make your instruction fun. Which for me is actually the hardest part of teaching. Use stress balls. Take deep breaths when you feel the need to resort to punishments, which I think I need to try. Buy them a book, he recommends Amazon. Ask them how they feel after a successful day. Help them get to know feelings of success. And as always model, model, model.
