Behavior Management Within A Classroom

The behaviour policy outlines the school's aims of how to create “a positive community atmosphere in which children can learn effectively by promoting good standards of behaviour”. The school aims to recognise and respond to good behaviour in children, promoting a positive classroom environment where the focus is on praise of children's good behaviour and work. It outlines rewards and sanctions, and sets out a code of conduct that all children, staff, parents and governors should be aware of.

Comprehension is understanding the meaning and purpose of a text. There are several strategies that can help students improve their understanding of complex texts. According to Vukelich, Christie, and Enz (2008), one of the strategies is a literacy journal where “children can record observations, questions, and insight to make important links between what they already know and what they are learning” (p. 179). This article talks about a strategy similar to a literacy journal, called a SQUINK chart. This article explains how SQUINK was developed and how it helps children comprehend different texts.

As a special education educator, I observed that children identified with having an Emotional Behavior Disorder were likely to be disciplined harshly, and placed in more restrictive settings than students in other disability categories. Additionally, in my mild to moderate setting program, I observed that consequences for behavior infractions were more punitive in nature than restorative. Teachers and students began to engage in power struggles and that had a negative impact on classrooms and caused both students and teachers to withdraw from one another.

Over the course of my time devoted to receiving my degree there has been several aspects of education that I feel left an imprint of my philosophy of education, and two in particular that will remain within my teaching for years to come. One overall aspect that I will implement in the future is one of analyzing my own teaching behavior in order to create a learning environment in which my students can grow and learn within. Some behaviors that a great teacher should possess should include positive reinforcement. “Positive reinforcement is a very powerful and effective tool to help mold and change behavior. It works by praising and rewarding desired behavior, which then makes the behavior more likely to happen in the future” (Teaching: Positive vs Negative Reinforcement, 2012) While my own classroom, I have found that this technique, while quite simple, is an imperative operating tool in which we can see students listen, understand, and maintain overall behaviors that result in a successful learning outcome. “Following intervention, children’s inappropriate behavior, decreased to below baseline levels in all six classrooms. Intervention fidelity in all six

Your students behavior started out rough in 1st hour (Math); the 7th Graders started out loud and disruptive. Some students did not even want to do the worksheet. But, after I talked to them all about the behavior, they started to come around. Everyone was present. In 2nd hour (Science), the student were quiet and respectful to other during the quiz. Might have been because I mentioned “If you talk after I hand out the quiz until everyone was done that I would collect their paper and they would receive ‘0’ on the quiz.” And that worked for them. We finished the movie as well. Mr. Goldman took care of the rest of the day.

Use your experience of teaching as a source for describing a range of behaviours and analyse their impact on learners learning.

Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), based on the work of B.F.Skinner, surmises that behaviours can be limited by their exposure to the antecedent conditions, for example, if Greg sits near the window, he will tend to get up and move away from his desk because he does not like the bright light. He behaves better when he is seated on the far side of the room away from the windows. The antecedent condition is the “bright sunlight and the desk position” (Lyons, Ford, & Slee, 2013, p. 151). My personal classroom management philosophy aligns with this theory as I believe it is better to pre-empt a situation and control the behaviours through slight interventions rather than dealing with a major behavioural episode.

Christopher Dunbar writes an insightful and engaging article which explores the process necessary for moving away from inappropriate to appropriate behavior. Dunbar examines the psychology of bad behavior and the importance of functional assessment to ascertain the reasons for student misbehavior. This proves to be a critical step in the process of establishing an effective classroom management plan. The document also provides steps for evaluating a teacher’s management style and provides a step by step guide to establishing a functional assessment and behavior support plan. Dunbar’s work can be used to devise a well-organized and successful classroom management

Behavioural views of learning involves three separate steps which is applied within behaviour analysis of individuals. The first step is to be able to clearly identify the behaviour in present in order to be able to change and note the current level. The second involves in planning through using precise intervention by consuming antecedents, consequences or either both at the same time. The last step evolves to keep track of the results and adapt the plan (Woolfolk & Margetts, 2013).

The setting of a classroom has changed over the past few decades thanks to innovations in technology and improvements in education. Instructors are now more equipped to handle a variety of students with different learning abilities and backgrounds, than any previous generation. Still, the problem with learning disorders in a classroom setting can never be fully decoded although educators and psychologists have been trying to understand them for decades. A child’s behavioral pattern and learning capabilities are observed from the time a child enters grammar school so that counselors may identify handicaps or disorders that would prevent the child from learning at an acceptable pace. These handicaps can range from physical or mental issues that

When the public was polled on the same issues, they ranked classroom control/discipline as the number one challenge (Education Development Group). Disruptive behavior results in lost time for curriculum and creates a negative classroom environment that is not focused on learning. One key to getting rid of an unwanted behavioral problem in the classroom is to promote positive behavior before major problems arise (Education Development Group). Promoting positive behavior takes serious planning but have very worthwhile

Once all of the children are done washing their hands, some of them bring over comfy chairs to help set up for the movie. The TV stand is on wheels and is a bit messy having a PlayStation for a movie player instead of a DVD player, which causes many wires to be hanging down. They also have to use a game controller instead of remote, causing more unnecessary wires. The movies are placed in a basket on the stand in easy reach of all of the children.

Behavior management strategies are important to implement in a classroom. For children who lack impulse control is to set clear expectations and rules. Children need clear classroom rules that set clear expectations. For example, wait until the computer is available to use the computer. Children who lack impulse control skills and cannot wait for their turn might need more than clear expectations. One strategy to do is to use glass sand timers to indicate time. A glass timer will allow a child to visually see when their turn will be.
