Misfit Minute 13: Reduce Student Pushback with Simple Choice Strategies in Special Education
Update: 2025-10-07
Description
Offering students simple choices can reduce pushback and boost cooperation. In this Misfit Minute, we break down how to turn everyday directives into opportunities for autonomy and engagement.
đ Key Takeaways
- Choice = Power: Even small choices give students autonomy and reduce resistance
- Circle Time Example: Let students choose where or how they sit instead of forcing one option
- Directive Reframe: Switch âPut your things away and line upâ to âDo you want to line up first or pack up first?â
- Weekly Challenge: Rewrite one classroom directive as a choice that works for you and your students
