Recommended: Behavior management strategies

My practicum classroom was a 1st grade class and it was a secular school. I would definably use a behavioral chart at this grade/age as I have used one for this grade/age and I have had great success using them. For the ED student (this is hypothetical- the only ED student in this class is also classified as LD). he does not listen to the teacher; does not sit in his seat; cannot keep his hands to himself; and cannot follow directions when told the first time. To me, since he cannot follow the classroom rules, I do feel as if he needs a behavioral management plan, especially since he cannot keep his hands to himself.

I would make a behavioral chart the same way in which I would any other student; however, I would allow more "prompts"

  • The Behavioral Intervention Classroom ( Bic )

    1059 Words  | 3 Pages

    For my field experience, I went to Magoffin Middle school and spend time in the Behavioral Intervention classroom (BIC). A behavioral Intervention classroom is a class where mostly Emotionally Disturbed (ED) students attend. Though ED is not the only special need student that could be in the BIC classroom setting. Other classifications could be Autism (AU), Learning disabled (LD), other health impairments (OHI) to include ADD and ADHD. In regards to the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE), it is towards the bottom or point of the triangle, meaning it is more restrictive than a general setting classroom would be. The BIC classroom is a last result and not where the school wants to place a student. Let me say what I imagine how the classroom would be before I went to the class was chaos. Due to the time working at the school, I have seen my share of student meltdowns. Many occasions I have seen students outright disrespect authority figures at the school. Passing through the hallway one student was observed outside of the classroom arguing with the campus officer telling him “You’re too fat to catch me!” This was a surprise to me as I continued on my way. Another student in particular, we will call him “Kenny”, had a meltdown in the hallway where he was sitting on the floor hugging his knees and was crying profusely. There were at least three adults including a campus patrol employee, special education teacher and the assistant principal trying to calm Kenny down. Going into this classroom I prepared myself for students being disrespectful and quite possibly violent.

    John, a 15 year old male, is an 8th grade student attending a local middle school. John is a transfer student from another state and he been placed into an inclusion classroom because he has been identified as a student with a disability and requires an IEP. Lately, John has been verbally and physically disruptive during math class. Some of the disruptive behaviors John often exhibit in the classroom include making loud noises and jokes during instruction, calling his peers names, physically touching his peers, and grabbing group materials. John’s teacher collected data and learned that his verbal disruptive behavior occurs 4-8 times during each sixty minute class meeting, and his physical group disruptions occur 75% of the time he works with a group. After meeting with John’s other teachers, his math teacher learned that his disruptive behavior is only present during math class. According to John’s math test scores on his IEP, his math instructor also learned that math is a challenging subject for John and he is significantly below grade level. Both John’s math teacher and his IEP team reached an agreement that they would like to decrease the number of times John disrupts instruction and eventually eliminate the disruptive behavior. The replacement behavior for John is to remain focused and on task during math instruction and assigned activities without triggering any disruptions (i.e., distracting loud noises or jokes causing the class to go into a laughing uproar, physical contact with peers, name calling, or grabbing his peers’ materials). Instead of John being punished for his disruptive behavior, the replacement behavior would allow him to remain in math class, and he will also be able to receive posit...

    Special education includes addressing students’ academic needs as well as their behavioral needs. A student with a disability is not exempt from disciplinary measures, as students with can suspended and even expelled from the school environment.

  • Functional Behavior Assessment

    1044 Words  | 3 Pages

    Classroom management is one of the most essential skills to becoming an effective classroom teacher. Teachers who possess the ability to manage their classroom are able to create an environment where learning is the focus (Burden & Cooper, 2004). Although teachers may be well prepared and skilled with classroom management, at some point in time they will encounter a student or students whose behavior hovers authority and the functioning of the class. There is no simple way to deal with these difficult situations, but there are strategies to help. The first step is to identify the purpose of the behavior. A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), is a systematic set of strategies that are used to determine the underlying function or purpose of a behavior so that an effective intervention plan can be developed (NPDC, 2014).

He is reading at a third grade level, and has outstanding writing abilities. Jace has a love for Legos. He does not want to leave the room or much less his house without them. Jace is in first grade this year and despite many efforts to help with behavioral outbursts his teachers and principal do not know what to do with him. They are considering putting him in a self-contained classroom to minimize the problems they are facing now. For instance, when Jace does not get what he wants he begins to clench his fists, yell, and act out violently both against his peers as well as his teachers. Jace does not like large crowds, noises, or distractions-- all of which seem to set Jace off into one of his violent episodes. Jace has extreme difficulties identifying his emotions, taking responsibility for his actions, and communicating his frustrations.
