1. Classroom
Management
with:
Love
and
Logic

2. What is Love and Logic?
Love and Logic is the philosophy of classroom
management, which allows teachers to
become happier, empowered, and more
skilled in their interactions with students. The
goal for all Love and Logic classrooms is an
environment of consistency of values, which is
much easier to obtain than consistency
between students, situations, and
consequences.

3. The Parts of Love and Logic
Love: allows the students to grow and learn
from their mistakes
Logic: allows the students to understand and
live with the consequences of their mistakes
Together: Love and Logic puts teachers in
control and teaches the students to be
responsible, and prepares them to live in the
real-world of choices and consequences.

4. Practices of Love and Logic
• Read and re-read all you can about Love and Logic.
Over-learning the techniques is recommended.
• Obtain a copy of the Creating Your Schools Core Beliefs
worksheet. Pick 5-7 of the ideas to adapt for your
classroom and to guide your disciplinary practices.
• Start slow. Pick one or two techniques and start to
experiment in your classroom.
• After you’ve experimented with those, pick one or two
more and repeat the process.

5. Practices of Love and Logic Cont.
• Make sure to use Enforceable Statements.
• Once you have a plan in place for you classroom,
give a copy to each of your student’s parents so
they understand your policies.
• Post a list of expectations and describe to your
students how the classroom will be run.
• Do not warn students of specific consequences in
advance!

6. Anticipatory Consequences
• Do not give consequences when you’re
angry.
• Show sadness or empathy before giving
consequences.
• If you dont know what to do, delay
consequences until you have thought about
it or conferred with others. (Delisio, 2008).

7. Anticipatory Consequences
• Example:
Say something like, “Oh, no. This is so sad.
I’m going to have to do something about this! But
not now… later. Try not to worry about it.”
• This allows the teacher time to confer with
others and to make sure consequences that
can be enforced. Gives student time to think
about the possible consequences.
(Delisio, 2008).

8. Curriculum Research
Statement on Love and Logic website:
“Although there has been limited empirical research
conducted on these programs, the studies do show
evidence that support (sic) using Love and Logic
techniques. Love and Logic does not currently have
any studies published in academic journals, however,
it is a project that is currently under review” (Fay,
2012).

9. Curriculum Research
Information on L&L Website
Lengthy list of supporting theory and research, little of
which dealt directly with Love and Logic, Two
doctoral dissertations that cited interviews with
teachers trained in Love and Logic – Bullock, D. (2011).
Early childhood teachers perceptions of student
behavior after implementing love and logic classroom
management and discipline program. (Doctoral
dissertation, Walden University). – Spencer, P. (2008). A
logical choice?: Perceived impacts of love and logic.
(Doctoral dissertation, Capella University).
