The Love and Logic approach is a behavior management program that has been very effective in dealing with issues in the classroom. It neutralizes arguing, offers delayed consequences, shows empathy, and develops a positive teacher-student relationship. It’s a way to set enforceable limits that prevents power struggles and guide students to own and solve their problems. It has been a valuable tool for PACT’s teachers that allows them to enjoy time with their students!

ENVoY is a nonverbal classroom management technique. It’s all about the tone of voice, position of the body, and the way to look at students that have the most significant impact on student behavior in the classroom. Teachers are trained to build awareness of these nonverbal patterns they use with students and, when possible, save their words for curriculum and building relationships—and the results have been excellent. In addition, we are seeing better relationships, productivity, and an increase in student independence. Finally, it makes for a healthy and respectful classroom environment.

Elementary students receive differentiated instruction based on their needs. In reading and math, differentiated instruction is provided during daily What I Need (WIN) Time. Students in need of additional help may receive small group assistance from licensed teachers. This also provides time for the homeroom teacher to meet with small groups of students to provide extra support and enrichment.
