Use of “The Recovery Process” for Disruptive Classroom Students

The “Recovery Process” Allows the Teacher to Preserve the Classroom Learning Environment

The “Recovery Process” is one of the nine-skills found in the multimedia training program, 9 Essential Skills for the Love and Logic Classroom. This process allows the teacher to preserve the learning environment when nothing seems to be working with the student. We have found that some students just need a non punitive, brief “Recovery” period away from their classmates in order to adjust their behavior so they are able to return to the learning environment ready to engage and participate without continued classroom disruption.  An in-depth study of this technique is necessary to fully implement.
