Motivate Students By Giving Them What They
Need
The Four C’s Connection-having the sense of
belonging Capability—having the ability to take
care of oneself Counting—having the knowledge that
one can make a difference Courage—believing one can handle
what comes

Misbehavior
Students who feel
not connected
not capable
they don’t count
no courage
Act out by
seeking attention
seeking power
seeking revenge
seeking avoidance
Please Remember
Misbehavior is NOT the problem. Misbehavior is the student’s attempt to
find a solution for a problem they feel they have.
We have to help children find alternative solutions.
Encourage vs. Praise?
Encouragement-instilling courage by helping students see their strengths and developing a belief in themselves
Praise—pointing out what we think he/she does well
What might you do to help your students develop a
sense of…
connectedness? capability? worth? (counting)
courage?
Helping Students Feel Connected, Capable,
Count, Courageous (4 C’s)
Provide opportunities for cooperative interactions
Show an interest in each student Give positive attention Find and recognize strengths and talents Show acceptance—separate the deed from
the doer Send cards, messages, homework to absent
students Conduct classroom meetings
The Three R’s of Logical Consequence
Relate logically to misbehavior
Respectful in order to avoid humiliation (firm and kind)
Reasonable—logical and understood by the student
