Start Each Day with a Clean Slate

Letting go of the emotions and frustrations from a challenging day is essential for fostering positive relationships and maintaining a supportive classroom environment.

Starting each day with a clean slate allows teachers and students to focus on growth and new opportunities rather than dwelling on past mistakes. This approach reinforces trust, accountability, and a culture of empathy.  

  1. Forgiveness – Forgive students for past behaviors to focus on their potential.
  2. Forget – Don’t let yesterday’s behavior define today’s interactions. 
  3. Move On – Use the MOVE-ON Method to approach each day with a positive, forward-focused mindset.
