During the school year, students will argue and argue, and four-part apologies will be implemented. Instead of forgetting the situation, a four-part apology will be implemented in my classroom. This will allow students to address the situation and take responsibility for their mistakes. Immediately after the situation, talk to the students and tell them they are not in trouble. Then ask the student to acknowledge, “I know about myself.” After acknowledging the problem, apologize: "I apologize because..." Then students will put the situation right: "What can I do to make things right." Eventually students will recommit: I recommit to…” The four parts of apologizing allow students to address their problems in a way that is successful for students and students will not bury their problems
