How might Grandma’s Law relate to a bus ride?
• What is your job here? --- to deliver safe transportation
• What do you need from your students to have you be able to fulfill your job?
--- seat belts on --- quiet at RR crossings --- respecting bus mates and you
• What else?

But….there’s more….Don’t forget…..
• Mutual respect – greet them by name each day
• Follow through with what you request
• Don’t judge nor critique
• Let them know you need their help to do your job – tell them what you need from them
• Give kudos to students, teachers, family, etc. for even the smallest progress – be sincere
![Page 9: Revisit ‘Grandma’s Law Via Behavior Modification 24th Annual TSD Conference March 20–25, 2015 Embassy Suites Dallas-Frisco Hotel, Convention Center & Spa](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d355503460f94a0d4c8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Yup…still more to come….
• If you see students not getting along, create a seating chart…when they ask how long they must sit there, tell them it is up to them – giving them the power to alter their behavior
• Allow music, I-Pads, etc. if not too loud
• Focus on their strengths
• Wait until the next day to address issues, if possible
CONSISTENCY RULES!!!!
