They can point to pictures to choose a handshake, a high-five, a hug, or a dance move.<\/p>\n<p>Choose Your Greeting is a great way for students to greet their teacher in a positive way that they are comfortable with! All student will be comfortable with different things- some students need a lot of hugs some students don&#8217;t want to be touched at all. This tool allows students of all comfort levels to start the day on a positive note! I have never used this tool exactly, but in our management course on the last day, Gus invited us to choose between a handshake or a hug on the way out the door. Personally, I appreciated that as I am not a hugger, and physical contact usually makes me uncomfortable. A handshake was perfect for me, though! That showed that this tool can be modified to fit any age group.<\/p>\n<p>I put this tool in the preventative phase because it is building a personal connection between students and teachers. Being allowed to choose what you are comfortable with builds trust, which is invaluable in managing a classroom. If students trust their teacher, that teacher is in a much better position to guide them in the right direction and make good choices. This tool is collaborative because it facilitates teachers and students working together to build trust and a positive relationship. It is also student centered because it is about making the student comfortable and helping them enter the classroom in a positive, productive way.<\/p>\n<p>More Information &#8211;<br \/>\nTool Source: A video uploaded to Reddit.com<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><p>      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MadeMeSmile\/comments\/9vujai\/a_teacher_like_her_makes_a_huge_difference\/\">A teacher like her makes a huge difference<\/a><br \/> by      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/WeedScaper\">u\/WeedScaper<\/a> in      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MadeMeSmile\/\">MadeMeSmile<\/a>    <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>    <script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This tool allows students to choose how they want to greet their teacher every morning.
