Evidence-based Classroom Behaviour Management Strategies Article Review The article that I read for my article review is titled “Evidence-based Classroom Behaviour Management Strategies” by Dr. Barry S. Parsonson. This article presents the classroom management strategies developed by educational professionals after extensive research, based on the data they collected and analyzed regarding classroom behavior. Since it has been found that “behavior problems in a classroom increase the stress levels for both the teacher and pupils” (Parsonson, 2012, p. 16) this article deems classroom management not only beneficial to both educator and student but also essential. According to this article, there are numerous unique factors in every classroom that contribute to the way students and teachers will interact with each other, which is why “simply targeting individual children in the classroom may not actually solve a classroom behavior problem”. (Parsonson, 2012, p. 16) Rather, a teacher must focus on the collective classroom environment and consider all aspects of their students, including a host of problems and concerns they may bring to school with them from their home life. The belief expressed within this article is that children can …show more content…
17)These are just a few examples of the research-based strategies developed and explained in this article. The article also describes various effective interventions for behavior such as written feedback on both behavioral and academic performances, although recent studies have suggested that direct feedback can have a more immediate and lasting effect on student
This gives opportunities for discussion, reflection and a chance to understand develop empathy for each other. ‘The ultimate objective is to enhance children’s ability to become socially and emotionally competent individuals who succeed in school’. http://incredibleyears.com/team-view/carolyn-webster-stratton/ To give a practical example of one of the key initiatives is to praise good behaviour not matter how small and ignore unacceptable behaviour so long as no harm will come to others. This strategy should always be the starting point of your classroom management. The majority of children will respond to this positive reinforcement and quickly understand how to gain phrase for doing the right thing.
While I was completing my field experience, I was working in the afterschool room every other Tuesday and Thursday. The grades of the twenty-six students ranged from first grade to fourth grade and there were more females than males in this class. My two mentors, Kelly and Brooke, were awesome, showing me how to keep up with these older children while also keeping peace within the chaotic classroom. While these children were from Watkinsville, they really were not from a low SES background, but there were many instances that the children would get into arguments and bring up someone else’s family
As a kindergarten teacher at Otter Lake Elementary (WBLAS) and first grade teacher at S.G. Reinertsen Elementary (Moorhead Public Schools), I have learned the importance of establishing a sense of community and belonging in the classroom. By providing a stimulating learning environment that fosters confidence and encourages each child to reach their fullest potential, I aim to meet the specific needs of each student. I firmly believe that every child is entitled to an education environment that enables them to learn and grow both academically and personally. By motivating my students to have confidence in their strengths and abilities, I hope to inspire them to become dedicated, lifelong learners. With only seven hours each day to make a difference in students’ lives, I strive to effectively utilize our time together to ensure they receive a valuable
The objective of this chapter is to inform educators of the support strategies and interventions for the classroom. The tone of the chapter is quite uplifting by reminding educators that students in the red zone can move to the green zone by having educators that support and facilitate the transition. The book states that this can be done through a positive classroom environment, and this can be done through the teacher modeling the behavior that is expected. Educators should not yell, rant, or belittle in the classroom. This shows the students that the school fully believes in the behavioral expectations that are established within the district.
My classroom management plan would implement a clip behavior chart for individual behavior that has Super student, great job, good choices, ready to learn, think about it, teacher’s choice, and parent contact. All the students will start on ready to learn, and be able to move up and down the chart throughout the day based on the choices that they make regarding their behavior. Students will have planners. I plan on utilizing the planners by having students shade in the color of the day that they had so that parents are also able to check on their child’s behavior during the school day. If they reach the top of the chart before the end of the day they have earned an item out of the prize box.
Authors, Amy Gillespie and Steve Graham of Evidence Based Practices for Teaching, provide teachers with techniques that have been proven to work to help students improve their writing. According to the studies the best methods to improve students writing involves collaborative and responsive writing. This method complies with the writing process and helps understand their progress. The next sections will explore and measure the effectiveness of collaborative and responsive writing. a.
Within the school environment the ethos of the school should be noticed upon entering and the daily performance of the staff and pupils who attend and work for the school. All the staff that work in the environment have an important responsibly when it comes to children as children and young people are influenced by the behaviour they see from their role models, which can be teachers, family members and friends and teaching assistants such as myself. They are influenced by not just my behaviour but every adult within the setting, so everyone needs to make sure that they are not displaying negative behaviour or displaying a negative way of dealing with certain people or incidents involving others, otherwise this could affect other younger children
Since we will be teaching groups of 25-30 there must be regulations, and in order to provide a safe and fun envirornment all of the volunteer staff agreed the importance of structure in the sessions. One key topic that we discussed was how to react to children who misbehave. Though we each have different backrounds we all agreed that the best tactic would be to remove the child and leave disciplinary action up to the schooling staff. It is also important that we do not chastize one student during the course of the student, being as though this may cause other children to believe that they have to act out in order to recieve special treatment, and that is not the kind of environment we want to create in such a positive space. Moreover, we discussed the previous years of this program and its progress.
Throughout this essay I will be explaining how a behaviour policy supports teachers and how it can also create an effective learning environment. I will also be highlighting any issues which could potentially arise from the use of a behaviour policy. A behaviour policy is guidance for members of staff within a school on how to deal with different behaviours, and sets out the expectations of behaviour for all children at the school. If a behaviour policy is written well it will support the formation of an effective learning environment. An effective learning environment for young children is an environment in which all children feel able to express themselves freely, allowing them to learn effectively.
Within the description of the study, the authors included limitations of the work, recognizing that it wasn’t perfect and had weaknesses to be corrected in the next study discussed. The studies were based in strong prior research, with a clear goal, and using the Academic Orientation Model, which is well-researched and documented. They implemented not just one technique, but instead formulated five different interventions to get the best and most accurate information. They also continually got student and teacher feedback, and when they realized that some teachers had a misunderstanding of the intervention, they provided corrective feedback and explained the rationale behind each
Educational leaders can remind teachers that students who exhibit poor behaviors are often coming from a background of trauma/neglect. This reminder will not stop the poor behavior, but it can help teachers retain their composure and professionalism when working with these students. Plus, it can help teachers investigate matters in order to help ensure a child’s rights are being followed and to improve the students’ well-being at home. More reports of concern to administration and counselors can help many students and families with their problems. According to Larson (2011), “when capable educational leaders embrace the broader purposes of education for increasing social justice for children in a democratic society, they can have an enormous impact on the lives of children and families in their communities.”
teacher can promote safe and supportive environment to motivate students’ engagement in classroom activities. According to domain two of Danielson’s (2011) “The Framework for Teaching Evaluation Instrument”, "Teachers need to create an environment of respect and rapport in their classroom by the ways they interact with students and by the interaction they encourage and cultivate among students" (p.28). This domain illustrates all students need to have a feeling of physical and emotional safety in the classrooms. Therefore, it is very crucial that teachers treat all students the same way as a family by making sure that each student values each other’s racial and cultural differences, as it will build the feeling of welcome and prevent the use
The behavior management philosophy of this child care facility is to foster a loving, nurturing environment that promotes the wellbeing and overall intelligence of the children that we interact with through our practice. We believe it is in the best interest of the child to encounter diversity in their child care facility. We also believe that the child should learn their work through play, genuine encounters with their peers and adults, and pacifying their curiosity through exploration of their interests. Section II: Prevention Strategies: Creating an appropriate climate To create an appropriate climate within our childcare facility, the staff and teachers have been trained on the proper protocol to ensure that disturbances are brief, clear,
As a result, students learning and engagement will decrease and disruptive behaviors will increase. The classroom environment will be structured to reduce distraction, but provide more opportunity to learn. The classroom will be arranged in a way that embrace diversity and students are expected to follow classroom rules such as, respect one another, and be prepared to learn. If a student repeats a behavior after she or he has
In my classroom I will have a goal for preventive and supportive behavior strategies. Because middle level students go through physical, emotional and social development, there are times when they have unpredicted emotions and corrective actions will be necessary. Nevertheless, clearly stated rules, procedures, expectations and routines will create a safe environment, which in turn will positively impact students’ behavior, and therefore the instruction will have a greater impact on the students’ learning. Students want to know and see that teachers are people, just like them, and we have things in common. I will always be there for my students, I will listen to them and will share my life experiences.
