I loved your videos.. I am just wondering if this will work for a special education class. I work with Emotionally Disturbed (ED) teenagers. Most of the time I get animated or ask them to do things like this they just start to say profanity and say they won't do it. Then... what do I do? I'd appreciate your suggestion(S)

I found myself mirroring Chris's movements as he was speaking! I loved his seminar!!!

This is only the barest introduction to Power Teaching. As the videos develop, we'll present ways to deal with problems like the one you describe. At minimum, the student you describe is violating Rule 5, "Keep your dear teacher happy." To specifically address this problem we have developed the Guff Counter which you can find described in our free download, "Teaching Challenging Elementary Students." I'll post the address of our new website soon.

The technique you offered for suspending a rule during special activities helps ensure order while providing the needed flexibility. Thank you so much!
