00:00:02,289 --> 00:00:07,008
Teacher: Alrighty friends, we are going to read a passage about
the landmarks in Tennessee. Would someone like to volunteer to pass

00:00:07,008 --> 00:00:08,937
out the readings?

00:00:08,937 --> 00:00:14,268
Teacher: Thank you, Kayla.

00:00:14,268 --> 00:00:17,212
Teacher: Colin, nice job sitting quietly.

00:00:17,212 --> 00:00:20,820
Teacher: Kai, excellent job showing me you’re ready for reading
by sitting quietly.

00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:22,414
Kai: Thanks.

00:00:22,414 --> 00:00:27,871
Teacher: Okay, so today we are going to do a popcorn activity with
fun facts you learned about Tennessee and if you want, you can read

00:00:27,871 --> 00:00:30,254
them right from your book.

00:00:30,254 --> 00:00:32,832
Teacher: Okay, let’s see. Diamond, could you start us off?

00:00:32,832 --> 00:00:41,701
Diamond: Sure. Tennessee touches eight other states: Missouri,
Kentucky, Virginia, North Caro-N-North Carolina, Arkansas, Georgia,

00:00:41,701 --> 00:00:48,478
Mississippi, and Alabama. Popcorn, Haley.

00:00:48,478 --> 00:00:54,832
Haley: Tennessee is tied with Missouri for the state with the most
borders. Popcorn, Riley.

00:00:54,832 --> 00:00:56,103
Kai: Ugh [puts head down, taps pencil on desk]

00:00:56,103 --> 00:01:03,401
Riley: Tennessee is famous for its music, hot chicken, and rolling
hills. It’s called “The Volunteer State.” Popcorn, Kai.

00:01:03,401 --> 00:01:12,401
Kai: Uh. That’s the one I was gonna say. Umm… Tennessee is pretty
moun-mount-uhh-a [puts head on desk].

00:01:12,401 --> 00:01:15,754
Teacher: Kai, that word is mountainous, and please keep your head
up and keep trying your best.

00:01:15,754 --> 00:01:17,597
Kai: Uhh I’m done with this!

00:01:17,597 --> 00:01:19,934
Teacher: Excuse me, sir, that’s not how we talk to each other.

00:01:19,934 --> 00:01:20,875
[Kai gets up out of his seat and pushes the papers off his desk.]

00:01:20,875 --> 00:01:22,962
Kai: Leave me alone! [runs out of classroom]

00:01:22,962 --> 00:01:26,821
Teacher: Class, please continue with your reading [looks out the
classroom door].

00:01:26,821 --> 00:01:33,172
Teacher: [[picks up the classroom phone] Hi. Kai is headed towards
the cafeteria. Thank you. [hangs up phone]

00:01:33,172 --> 00:01:39,909
[SOMETIME LATER]

00:01:39,909 --> 00:01:42,365
Teacher: Hi.

00:01:42,365 --> 00:01:44,538
Principal Sanders: Kai is back, and he’s calmed down a little bit.

00:01:44,538 --> 00:01:47,080
Teacher: Great. Thank you. Can you take over the reading activity
for me?

00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,127
Principal Sanders: Yes.

00:01:49,127 --> 00:01:50,483
Teacher: Sure. [hands Principal Sanders the reading activity]

00:01:50,483 --> 00:01:53,149
Teacher: Class, Principal Sanders is going to take over the reading
activity, and when you’re done, you can work on your comprehension

00:01:53,149 --> 00:01:54,749
section.

00:01:54,749 --> 00:01:58,195
Teacher: [meets Kai in classroom doorway] Kai, I’m so glad you’re
back. This might be a good time to go straight to the Peace Corner.

00:01:58,195 --> 00:01:59,461
Does that sound cool?

00:01:59,461 --> 00:02:00,566
Kai: Okay.

00:02:00,566 --> 00:02:02,129
Teacher: Right on. Go ahead. Relax.

00:02:02,129 --> 00:02:04,267
[Kai reenters the classroom.]

00:02:04,267 --> 00:02:06,027
[10 MINUTES LATER]

00:02:06,027 --> 00:02:07,299
Teacher: Hey, Kai. Are you good?

00:02:07,299 --> 00:02:08,534
Kai: Yea, I’m good.

00:02:08,534 --> 00:02:11,769
Teacher: Awesome, bud. If you’re ready, I have an activity for
you to complete at your desk.

00:02:11,769 --> 00:02:12,713
Kai: Okay.

00:02:12,713 --> 00:02:16,318
Teacher: Okay, cool. Why don’t you pick up your things and get
settled and then I’ll give you the directions.

00:02:16,318 --> 00:02:26,400
[Kai picks up his things from the floor and sits in his desk.]

00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,660
Teacher: Great. Thanks so much for picking that up, Kai. [puts
worksheet on Kai’s desk] This activity is about the story we read

00:02:30,660 --> 00:02:36,037
yesterday, so these are pictures of events in the story, and your
job is to put them in order.

00:02:36,037 --> 00:02:36,780
Kai: Got it.

00:02:36,780 --> 00:02:39,647
Teacher: Cool, and just let me know if you have any questions.

00:02:39,647 --> 00:02:43,385
[5 MINUTES LATER]

00:02:43,385 --> 00:02:47,000
Teacher: Hey, Kai. Do you think you’re ready to give some thought
to what happened earlier?

00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:47,856
Kai: Yea.

00:02:47,856 --> 00:02:52,247
Teacher: Great. [places debriefing behavior form on Kai’s desk]
You can use this form to talk about what happened, why, and what

00:02:52,247 --> 00:02:54,369
we could maybe do differently next time. Okay, and you can let me
know when you’re done.

00:02:54,369 --> 00:02:55,311
Kai: Okay.

00:02:55,311 --> 00:02:57,122
Teacher: Any questions, just let me know.

00:02:57,122 --> 00:03:00,488
[5 MINUTES LATER]

00:03:00,488 --> 00:03:02,208
Teacher: Hey, Kai. Let’s revisit what happened earlier. Okay?

00:03:02,208 --> 00:03:03,107
Kai: Sure.

00:03:03,107 --> 00:03:04,257
Teacher: I’m going to use this form to guide our conversation.
[touches debriefing behavior form]

00:03:04,257 --> 00:03:05,733
Kai: Sure.

00:03:05,733 --> 00:03:11,353
Teacher: [picks up debriefing behavior form] Cool. I saw you get
upset and run out of the classroom. Umm can you tell me about what

00:03:11,353 --> 00:03:12,864
happened from your perspective?

00:03:12,864 --> 00:03:20,003
Kai: I knew I was gonna have to have a turn. I don’t know how to
read all the words, and everyone else knows it.

00:03:20,003 --> 00:03:26,125
Teacher: I see. So, you were already upset before you even started
and then when it was your turn, you ran into a tough word. What

00:03:26,125 --> 00:03:28,013
did you do to deal with all of that?

00:03:28,013 --> 00:03:30,391
Kai: I don’t know. I got angry and ran away.

00:03:30,391 --> 00:03:32,976
Teacher: Yea. How did doing that work out for you?

00:03:32,976 --> 00:03:36,265
Kai: Not good. Now I look bad in all kinds of ways.

00:03:36,265 --> 00:03:40,905
Teacher: I can totally understand you feel that way, but I think
your classmates like you and appreciate you and you don’t have anything

00:03:40,905 --> 00:03:44,057
to worry about. But is there something else you could try next time
that might work better?

00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:46,095
Kai: Can I skip my turn?

00:03:46,095 --> 00:03:50,924
Teacher: That’s a great idea. Then next time we can just agree
if you come to a word that you don’t know, just popcorn to someone

00:03:50,924 --> 00:03:52,196
else. Okay?

00:03:52,196 --> 00:03:53,216
Kai: Okay.

00:03:53,216 --> 00:03:57,071
Teacher: You can also always ask for help. There’s no shame in
that. Umm, I’ll also try to give you some time to look at the passages

00:03:57,071 --> 00:04:03,154
in advance if you want. Okay? Maybe we could practice the first
sentence and have you start the popcorn activity the next few times.

00:04:03,154 --> 00:04:06,607
Kai: I would like that.

00:04:06,607 --> 00:04:12,176
Teacher: Umm. I want you to try writing down these strategies.
You can write “Ask for teacher’s help and then keep going from there.

00:04:12,176 --> 00:04:14,018
Okay. [places debriefing behavior form back in front of Kai]

00:04:14,018 --> 00:04:14,960
Kai: Okay.

00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:15,899
Teacher: You can let me know if you need any help.

00:04:15,899 --> 00:04:17,288
Kai: I’m done. [hands debriefing behavior form to teacher]

00:04:17,288 --> 00:04:22,775
Teacher: Alright, Kai. Nice job writing down those strategies we
identified. One more thing we need to talk about. Any time a student

00:04:22,775 --> 00:04:27,524
shows any unsafe behavior in the classroom, like leaving the room
without permission, the teacher needs to call home and write an

00:04:27,524 --> 00:04:33,019
office referral. I just want to make sure you’re aware of that so
it’s not a surprise. Do you have any questions about that?

00:04:33,019 --> 00:04:35,321
Kai: No, but my mom is gonna be mad.

00:04:35,321 --> 00:04:39,212
Teacher: I’ll do my best to make sure your mom understands that
this is all part of the process and that you’re learning how to

00:04:39,212 --> 00:04:41,838
get your needs met. Okay? So, no worries about that.

00:04:41,838 --> 00:04:42,700
Kai: Thanks.

00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:45,888
Teacher: Cool. And what do you think about making some extra time
to practice reading?

00:04:45,888 --> 00:04:47,121
Kai: I’d like that.

00:04:47,121 --> 00:04:52,489
Teacher: That sounds great. Umm, I’ll talk to your mom about that
too, and then really thanks so much for having this conversation.

00:04:52,489 --> 00:04:56,022
I think you did a great job, and I’m really glad you’re in my class.

00:04:56,022 --> 00:04:57,520
Kai: Thanks, Mr. S.
