In, The Iris Center for Faculty Enhancement, level C, case 1, there are two students, Zach and Patrick, who continue to disrupt the class because of their behavior towards each other. They are completely opposite. Zach is the relatively quiet student and Patrick is the louder of the two. Patrick teases Zach and Zach responds in an inappropriate manner. Their teacher is starting to get frustrated with the behavior between the two boys. Therefore, using some of the ideas from the STAR (Strategies And Resources) Sheet, the teacher will be able to encourage appropriate behavior and the teacher will keep her sanity. I. Introduction It is very important, as teachers, that we guide, correct, and encourage our …show more content…
Therefore, I would first move him closer to the teacher’s desk, just as Zach was moved. Then, we would immediately start with effective rules followed by specific praise. “Powerful rules are clear, easily understood, reasonable, observable, necessary, enforceable, and are positively stated” (Curran, n.d., p. 15). So, for Patrick the teacher will sit him down (away from the class) and together the two of them will talk about and come up with some rules just for him. They will talk about the way people feel when they are trying to listen and cannot hear, because he “calls out during class or gives unrelated or inappropriate information during class discussion when called on,” (Curran, n.d., p. 6) or how Zach and other students feel when he “teases Zach (and other students at times) by name calling” (Curran, n.d., p. 6). The teacher will discuss further if this is the way he would want to be treated. Then, the teacher will implement specific praise. “Praise can be used to build positive relationships with students and assist in creating a supportive classroom environment” (Curran, n.d., p. 7). Most of the time children who treat others the way Patrick is treating others have deeper issues going on. The teacher will start giving Patrick praise for everything that she sees him doing right. She will offer positive reinforcement before lectures to remind him; then give praise for what she sees. Hopefully, after seeing the teacher act this way, Patrick will start doing it
In the essay “Nanny boo-boos” by John Leo, the author discusses how in the attempts made to make everyday life safer, it is actually encouraging creeping nannyism which is described by the author as proposing a program that appears limited and reasonable, but then escalates until a demented level of government intrusion is reached. Leo begins his essay by writing about the different types of bullying in the school, mentioning that there are other types aside from just violence and intimidation. The author goes on to explain how the extended criteria for bullying makes most students bullies, to remedy this Leo writes how seating in lunchrooms may have to be rearranged and an anti clique rule be put in place as per a school workbook.
I model appropriate behaviors, establish routines and simple rules in the classroom, speak positively with the children, understand that children may not be ready to share, and they need to explore and experiment with control and saying ‘no’. I realize that all children may show challenging behaviors – they are learning to control their bodies, and to control their emotions. I feel the most important aspect of positive guidance for challenging behavior is to build strong relationships with the children. These relationships allow me to know exactly what each child needs in terms of developing their social, emotional, and problem-solving skills, their self-regulation, and their

MHS expressed her concerns of bullying from the member’s older siblings and inquired on what actions were taken to assure that the bullying comes to an end. “Bullying? They know I don’t play that I knew that they had got into a fight but didn’t get a full story on what happen or why but to answer your question they both have been placed on punishment because of it,” states the member’s mother. MHS applauded the member’s mother for taking action so quickly but begins to reinforce the effective communication and its importance. MHS explained to the member’s mother that it would be in both of the boys best interest to sit down and talk with them to see why this seems to be constant thing amongst them.
However, it is just as important to recognise and reward positive behaviour by those children who always behave well. By emphasising positive behaviour in the classroom and explaining why, e.g. “look at child X, who is listening well, as they always do”, we are encouraging this behaviour, as we recognise and praise the child for behaving well. This can then improve the behaviour of other children as it is promoting a positive role
Results indicated that the Praise Note System had effectively
Praising students can relate how their intelligence can be. Some students get comfortable with their intelligence (fixed mindset) and don’t bother taking on other challenges. There are 2 types of people with 2 types of mindsets. First is Fixed mindset and the other is Growth mindset. Cleary students with a growth mindset are mature and want to find strategies.
A new school year had begun. Three students, Alex, Jill, and Tim, were beginning the first day of their last year of high school. To start off their day they all go to Mr. Turner’s Advanced English class. Alex, Tim, and Jill don’t actually know each other, they have completely different friend groups.
He was bullied and left out. Barely any one wanted to be his friend, which was so heartbreaking. When a student has a learning disability just like Peter, they need to receive the best education they could. They need to be in an environment where they are not being judged and can develop at his own pace. Not only did the parents not treat him the way he should but as well as the teachers.
This was an example of how they do not change their classes until their training begins. There was another rule for when someone disrupted their class, that they would have to deliver an apology phrase to their class, and then the class had to say that they accepted their apology. For example, Asher
It is my belief that when teachers respect their students and treat them the way they would like to be treated the classroom will run smoothly. It is imperative that we provide the best learning experience possible for our student s to succeed. When my students are complaint and following the classroom management plan, I will also reward them. If my students are following the expectations, they will be able to earn points daily. When they earn twenty-five points for the week, they will receive an incentive.

Manage behaviour effectively to ensure a good and safe learning environment” – (Department for Education, 2012). When a behaviour policy works alongside an effective learning environment, the 7th standard of the QTS Teaching Standards will have been achieved. When achieving this the teacher is closer to accomplishing the rest of the Teaching Standards. In order for children to have an education which enables them to fulfil their potential as well as learning in a positive environment a well written behaviour policy must be set in place. Ensuring supporting a child’s behaviour within the classroom and around school will enable teachers to teach without any
The teacher has a positive attitude towards her students and teaching. She smiled, she took time to say hello, and asked how their weekends were. During their conversations, she would maintain eye contact with the students. During instructional time, she was prepared for the upcoming lesson and follow-up. She showed a passion for teaching through the energy, drive, and cohesiveness of the classroom.
Since the goal for this class, was to finished presenting their work orally and visually, students were prompted to provide positive on constructive feedback, to follow the class agreements (rules) they created at the beginning of the year, and they only practiced for about seven minutes (pair and share). After the students did collaborative learning, they went back to their seat. Then, a few students presented their poems as the rest of the class listened and rated the presenters. Unfortunately, some of Mrs. Carbone’s students
