If you are any of the above, have I got a resource for you!
Podcasting, a free service that allows Internet users to pull audio files from Websites, provides educators with an almost endless supply of content. One Podcast site that I recently found is that of Dr. Laura Riffel, otherwise known as the "Behavior Doctor". Although I first learned of this site through one of our district special education supervisors, I quickly began incorporating the site into my own online "New Teacher Induction" course. Any question a new or veteran teacher may have regarding student behavior is captured in a radio podcast! The tips Dr. Riffel provides are applicable to ALL students, and I think you will find her site a welcome "go to" spot when you have questions from any teachers regarding discipline!
Here's a link to the Podcast I just used with new teachers yesterday entitled, "You Can't Make Me Yogi", a short session to guide teachers for those students who say, "I don't want to and you can't make me"!
