Ronald Morrish would encourage Miss Pearl to speak with Joshua privately and remind him of the rules of behavior, which may entail treating the teacher and peers with respect and courtesy, following directions, and doing the best that he can to learn. Morrish would advise Miss Pearl to utilize compliance training to help Joshua to understand the basics between right and wrong behavior and then teach him appropriate and inappropriate behavior in the classroom through explanation, demonstration, and guided practice. Furthermore, Morrish would advise Miss Pearl to insist that Joshua redo the misbehavior correctly. For example, when Joshua speaks to his teacher disrespectfully and sarcastically, she would be advised to have him redo it in a polite
and courteous manner. Likewise, when Joshua interacts with his classmates in an intimidating and unkindly manner, he should be made to redo the behavior. For instance, Morrish would maybe suggest that Joshua creates an improvement plan and writes a letter to students he may have offended. Morrish would also advise Miss Pearl to teach Joshua how to manage his behavior more effectively by gradually giving him more choices when he is mature enough to handle them. As an illustration, if Joshua does not care about the outcome of his decisions, Miss Pearl should insist on Joshua doing what she wants him to do. If Joshua refuses to do as directed, Morrish would encourage Miss Pearl to repeat her instructions in a more serious tone, and if that still doesn’t work, use a mild punishment and then insist that Joshua redo the behavior correctly. If needed, it would be imperative to involve Joshua’s caregivers.
James T. Johnson was a young man who had a good job working as a construction worker. Although, he had a job and worked every day he still lived at home with his mother. Furthermore, he was the type of young man who went to work on time and after work he would come home. Unfortunately, there were occasions where he would go out with a few of his co-workers on a Friday he still came home afterwards. Nevertheless, he was hiding a secret from his mother that later led to him being arrested. Now, rather than James uses his money he had earned from working, he burglarized homes and garages in the communities in his area. After burglarizing these homes he would then sell the items he had stolen via the internet or a pawn shop in two different counties.
Both Ronald Morrish and Craig Seganti have been educators for many years and have subsequently developed their theories over many years of teaching. Both believe that it’s important first to establish the belief in students that the educator has the authority and is in command. Morrish and Seganti both also stress the importance of establishing rules and teaching students how to comply with those rules. For instance, Morrish and Seganti assert that it’s critical to practice appropriate classroom rules. Both also agree that it’s important only to make rules that you’re absolutely willing to enforce and that students should not be involved in creating these rules. Moreover, Morrish and Seganti also have similar perspectives regarding how self-esteem
179). Joey exhibits problems with managing his behavior when he needs to follow rules or instructions. Although Joey knows the appropriate behavior for the classroom, when required to demonstrate those behaviors, inappropriate behaviors are used.
Tommy’s teacher provided the time and what happened. From fifteen behavior, accidents there were nine verbal and six physical these accidents occur between two minutes to eighteen minutes. These behaviors happen with six times in math, three in check out, one in social studies, two at lunch, one in spelling, one in a small group, and one individually. The ABC provides that the highest of Tommy’s behaviors occur when she is transitioning the class to a new activity or giving new directions. Some of the consequences the teacher provides to Tommy are giving Tommy a choice, redirection, discussion of behavior, personal space was given, verbal reprimand, change activity, remove from class, and time out. Sometimes Tommy stops his behavior and others it continues even of the
George disrupts the class by conversing with other and not raising his hand. This behavior is prominent form the beginning of the day to the end. He constantly disrupts the class by shouting out at inappropriate times. This lack of self-control causes a halt in the lesson. The teacher typically relies on the classroom aide to resolve the issue, but his behavior is only corrected for five minutes. If George doesn’t have a 1:1 approach, he is unable to complete any of his work and inevitably gets himself into
In the video “When the Chips are down” by Rick Lavoie, I learned not only the same information as mentioned above but also helpful solutions that Rick Lavoie offered for teachers in how to respond with negative and positive student behavior. The presenter suggested among the following that teachers: restrain from yelling too much, as that might leave students to be less responsive over time; to extend verbal praise and other positive reinforcement as change from negative behavior; reinforce behavior progressively as the child makes steps towards positive behavior; set deadline incentive challenges to have the student complete tasks with positive behavior; and also the ‘broken record technique’ in which to state the rule 3 times to the offending student after indicating the infraction that was committed by the
Sean has just been hired as an assistant in an after-school program for a group of 5-7 years old children. After his first day in the class, he was concerned about some of the activities the leader had set out for the children. Sean was familiar with the guidelines for developmentally appropriate practice and though some of the activities were not age appropriate. As an example, the children were expected to read and then follow the directions for a science project He wanted to say something to the group leader, but he thought that maybe he would just quit!
This particular class period consisted of around 3 students, but one student was working particularly just by himself with his teachers aid. Even before it started Ms.Metcalf classroom energy felt a bit off, and come to find out that during lunch one of the students had been teasing the other student. The student that had also been causing trouble had out of nowhere stolen paper clips off of Ms.Metcalf. The other student was not able to stay on task, because he still felt upset from the incident that occurred during lunch. This soon became more of a discipline class rather than the student learning about math, and apparently the "bully" had created pointer with the paper clips that could have actually hurt someone. Soon after Ms. Metcalf had to call the assistant principles to step in to discipline the student, and lost a entire day of instructions due to one student misbehavior. After the misbehaving student had left she went over to the emotional distraught student and began discussing that he should never let people 's words if they weren 't nice and that entire lesson became a lesson on
There are different ways that a teacher can deal with a student’s undesirable behavior. Some of these strategies are: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment or extinction. The type of r...
It is very difficult to come up with a code of conduct when there are many people involved. Digital pile on is the reason why it is hard to create a code of conduct because many people will add on to what a single person said and even though those people who comment on it means they are apart of it and can be in trouble for saying something. In the online article, Cyber Bullying: What Teachers and Schools Can Do, Caralee Adams state 's, “Schools are struggling to create policies that deal with cyberbullying and the use of cell phones at schools. Experts say banning technology is not the answer, but rather teaching kids to be good digital citizens. When schools adopt codes of conduct, they should apply to activity in or out of school and set

“Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot.” These were the words of Clarence Thomas, an American Supreme Court Judge. This quote, of course, extols the virtues of etiquette, seen by many as a dying art. But why exactly do people have so little regard for having good manners these days? Few schools actually teach about manners and etiquette these days, but is that such a bad thing?
Guidance and discipline are an essential parts of helping children develop appropriately, both directly and indirectly they influence children’s behavior. The teacher behavior continuum is a guidance system made up of three levels that is applied to children’s mistaken behaviors. The three levels of the continuum are the relationship listening face based on the humanistic theory, confronting contracting face based on adlerian theory, and the rules and consequences face based on the social learning theory. Each theory takes a different approach to direct pervasive behavior. Relationship listening face uses looking and naming as a way to state what we see and acknowledge the struggle going on. While the Confronting contracting face uses questions
In handling his students’ inappropriate behavior, Mr. Swan should follow this approach. If the students continue to talk loudly, use tools inappropriately, and hit at each other, he should use a punisher. These behaviors could include the verbal or nonverbal communications for the purpose of stopping behaviors or even a detention. When the students start doing well, they should be reinforced and rewarded for doing good. Reinforcement improves student motivation and it will be effective in helping Mr. Swan handle these students’ inappropriate behaviors.
Normal or "good" behavior, usually determined by whether it is socially, culturally and developmentally appropriate. Misbehavior is any improper behavior. Teaching self-control skills is one of the most important things that teachers can do for students because these are the most important skills for success later in life. There are many different underlying causes of misbehavior, but a well-managed classroom has consequences in place to avoid disruption of learning time. Children try to please the teacher, with rules in place, and often reinforced, students will rise to the expectations of the class and their peers. This creates the ideal learning environment for all students.
