It didn't take me to long to start to look at student behaviours (positive & negative) and see their place on the Crisis Cycle and being able to identify and predict behaviours from my students. As I learn more about my students each day and develop deeper relationships with them and learning what their triggers may be that bring them to the escalation and crisis phase, I can use my knowledge of my students and of the Crisis Cycle to use specific strategies with individual students to help them de-escalate, stabilize and return to baseline. I have also noticed that as my relationships build with my students the longer students are able to stay in the baseline phase, or the quicker I can respond and get them back down to baseline if they have started to escalate.
This is definitely as skill that will follow me to all my future teaching endeavours! I am so thankful for having learned this.
