Behavior Intervention Plan Essay

Setting:

Dates: 01/10 and 01/12

Grade level/course: 3rd grade Math

The classroom seating arrangement: There are 23 students in the classroom. Here is the chart how student seats are arranged. Most students sit in pairs, and there are five students sit on the two sides of these pairs.

The Behavior Intervention Strategy: Get-to-Know-You:

Day 1: 5 minutes (I called this day is “get- to-know-me”) In our classroom, students are each other very well, so the first day I decide to introduce myself to my students and let them ask me some questions.

First, I introduced myself to the whole class about 2 minutes. After my introduction, I told my students that each of them can ask me a question. They asked me a lot of questions. For example: what is

my favorite color, how old I am, and how much siblings that I have. But, a question was attracted my attention. One student asked me about how Chinese students act in school. I told them that in China, students wake up early because they have class at 7. Then, they opened their eyes widely and said, “what, that is too early.” I think it was good start to let students know about my culture background because they could be aware that we live in the totally different learning environments.

Day 2: 5 minutes (This time is for me to get to know them) Before the class start, I give each student a form with leaf shape and have three questions on it. Here is the example of the questions.

start with say, “last time you know about me. It is time to let me know something about you.” I pass each paper to all students, and say “please answer the three questions on your leaf, and after you finish all the questions, you can color the leaves into green.” When they start writing, I walk around to check to what they write on the paper. Then, when they start to color the leaves, I ask questions when I toward each student. These questions help me know them a little bit batter, and it helps me remember their names.

Discussion: Think of this as the most critical piece of the written assignment. What went well, what didn't? Why? What could you have done differently? How will you continue developing a relationship with your students? What are you learning about yourself and the process of changing behavior? What effect did your behavior have on you and the students?

I think the part that I went well was that I set the whole actives into two parts.

The first day, I could have time to observe their behaviors and actions in class, so I could collect a little information about these students. However, I did not introduce myself very well because I was nervous and I did not use a teacher voice to introduce. After the Christmas break, I do not feel confident to speak English in front of people, so I think that I acted too shy when I started to take in front of them. If I have another time to do it again, I will practice more before I talk. I learned good teachers always prepare more than we do before the class start. The second day that I chose to do was helped me a lot develop relationships with these students. During this second week, I started to talk with these students before the class start. I am happy that they have willingness to come and talk to me. When I start to ask them teach me how to pronounce their names, they are happy to help me. When I pronounce words wrong, they help me. They help me build confidence and change my behavior in their class. I am not afraid to speak in front of them. I think I was affected by Chinese education, so I am strict in the classroom. When I see some students are not listening to the teacher, I will go to their place and ask them to stop. Therefore, eave time I am toward to them, they will stop doing their own things and follow the instruction in

class.
