SJTAA5007 The role of Teachers and support staff in identifying and implementing interventions that suit children’s individual needs using positive behaviour strategies within a primary setting. For the purpose of this project I will be looking at some of the influences that can impact on children’s social and emotional development as they move through childhood. These can often have a great impact on a child’s learning and ability to make successful transitions at key points in their lives. Difficulties often become apparent within the structured institutions such as schools where large cohorts are expected by society to conform to a certain acceptability of behaviour. This is an expectation that can be placed upon a child as young as three years old when they enter the education system for possibly the next fifteen years. Consequently, we know children are …show more content…
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. It also builds on five key rules that children need to follow to allow them to be taught. This is sometimes referred to as show me five. The five being, • Legs
Examples of how to promote this can include: being consistent, what you say is what you do, look at how you can build rapport and lead by example. In addition, being honest, providing positive and constructive feedback, lead by example. Some examples of inappropriate behaviour include; playing with mobile phones, talking over others when the group are listening and trying to learn. We need to remember the main objective is to help and progress until complete, this will
We are more likely to give out information to one another if we have positive relationships. It is very important as a Teaching assistant and teacher that we understand what our expectations are in school. For example; when advising pupils to behave in a particular way i.e. being polite, courteous and having manners, it is important that we do the same so that we are giving out a good example to the children so they can follow. It is also important that we have positive relationships with parents as this helps to communicate which can help the pupils when parents and teachers are engaging. It is important that we build relationships with others in school so staff and pupils all get along better.
In order for children to attain the basic skills that they need such as cooperation, following directions, demonstrating self-control and paying attention, they must have social-emotional skills. Feelings of trust, confidence, pride, friendship, affection and humor are all a part of a child’s social-emotional development. A child 's positive relationship with trusting and caring adults is the key to successful emotional and social development (ECDC, 2009). According to childcare experts, the most important thing parents can give their children is love. The second most important thing is discipline (Brazelton & Sparrow, 2003).
For a number of researchers and early childhood scholars the most avoided topic over a period of time up until now is the argument on young children’s “bias” behavioural tendencies. Most of these well informed individuals who are better placed than most people given their expertise this argument has presented them with a sore point in which many societies make a choice of digging their heads under the soil and therefore encouraging young childrens’ practitioners to focus mainly only on good behaviour in their classrooms and school environment in order to keep the peace, and avoid conflict. According to an article by Batiste, D. (1998). “A World of Difference®”
It is a must that I create safe, supportive and respectful learning environments that promote socio-emotional development, self-responsibility, and character to optimise learning for all students (Allodi, 2010). I believe that it will be beneficial for myself, students and learning support assistants that I foster a sense of community in the classroom and develop positive relationships with and among students. Therefore, I believe that I have to do my utmost to adapt effective skills and strategies for managing dynamic and flexible classroom structures and for teaching conflict resolution as well as for building positive relationships and engaging in effective communication and problem-solving with parents and families. I am also in favour of gearing teaching and learning towards student-centred learning since such instructional strategy leads to efficacy in increasing student engagement in learning activities (Twigg, 2010).
That which a child observes in youth inevitably affects the child’s perception of and reaction to the world as well as the rest of the child’s life. According to Dr. Jeffrey Edleson, these issues can be segmented into three major categories: “behavioral and emotional problems, cognitive functioning and attitudes, and longer-term problems” (Para. 2). These problems can and likely will become tradition for the subsequent generations if ignored, covered up, or otherwise only partially
adhiolescent development involves a complex interplay between genetics, biol- ogy, and social and emotional relationships within multiple contexts of home, school and the broader community. The transition from primary to secondary school, coupled with the onset of puberty, can therefore be a difficult period for young people to negotiate at a critical period of their developmental pathway. Using a social ecological perspective, this article examines the impact of the transition experience on adolescent social and emotional health, both immedi- ately following transition to secondary school and at the end of the first year in this new school environment. This 1-year prospective study involving 1,500 Australian Grade 8 secondary school students found that 31% of students in the sample experienced a ‘difficult’ or ‘somewhat difficult’ transition to their new school. This third of the student sample were consequently more likely to experience poorer social and emotional health, including higher levels of de- pression and anxiety at the end of their first year of secondary school, while controlling for these variables at the time of transition.
To support one another and that they will know how to respectively disagree with someone as well. I could incorporate a debate seen in class that could teach them the skills on that. They will know that you don’t have to hate someone because they don’t think like you, dress like you, act like you, and or speak like you. My students will think critically and openly through real life cases and I would try to put them in someone else shoes and see how they feel from that persons’ viewpoint. My future students are the mark of possibly erasing

The children’s behaviour can occasionally be challenging as they display verbal and physical characteristics that are inappropriate in the setting. All children respond to different behaviour management strategies. The strategies I use correspond with the schools behaviour management policy which outlines the use of: a traffic light system, golden time, missing playtime and positive and negative reinforcement. However, there are numerous children with in the class who do not respond to the
Behavior management uses a set of techniques in decreasing unwanted or inappropriate behavior. Hence, it focuses on maintaining order. This requires the individual to identify which behaviors one will encourage and which will be discourage. Behavior management at a classroom level as use by teachers to present rules against disturbing and interrupting other students, likewise with individual students to change poor choices and bad habits, such as getting up out of their seats when they should be seated (Ward, 2015). Parsonon (2012) cited that the usual response to problematic behavior is to identify the child(ren) involved as ‘the problem’, to focus on them as a source of ‘trouble’ and to devise strategies specifically to deal with their inappropriate behavior.
The study aim at highlighting the role national and international working practices in context to Early Years development relating to the changing ideologies and intervention approach. The paper has undertaken different studies to highlight the importance of Early Year education for children and how early years care and education can be effectively taken under consideration. As a result, this gives an opportunity for formulating the objectives on improving significant area of education for our future wellbeing. Recently, there has been observed great deal of development and changes in the Early Years sector and rising recognition of the significance of young child’s learning and progress.
As young children might get disruptive at times, effective classroom management is an important aspect in any preschool setting. Classroom management refers to the broad range of skills and techniques applied by teachers in a classroom setting to ensure that the students remain organized, disciplined, concentrated and productive (edglossary, 2014). Even though teachers can lessen behaviours that prevent learning from taking place by applying certain classroom management strategies, it is necessary for them to ensure that these strategies will not have detrimental effects on the development of a child. With such effective strategies being implemented in a preschool setting, meaningful learning can occur. State the behaviour Osman has demonstrated
The Key Stage outcome of the framework emphasizes the need to build confidence and social skills in their early years to prepare them for lifelong learning (MOE, 2003). Hence, preschool programs focus on helping children in developing skills needed for school readiness to primary school. Teachers provide opportunities for children to experience real-life situations using pretend play to encourage higher order thinking and enhance problem solving and social skills (Lee, 2012). Schools arrange for visits to primary school, inviting Primary 1 children to talk about they experiences, reading stories about ‘starting school’ and teachers introduce routines of formal schooling. There is also collaboration between preschool and primary school to further cater the needs of children during transition process (Marjory,
I soon learned that children with behavioural issues were prone to speaking out of turn, interrupting classmates, disrupting classroom activities, using inappropriate language and gestures, moving inappropriately around the classroom, defying authority, arguing and disrupting the class in many other ways. However these were the most common occurrences in the classroom that I did my teaching practice in. As a result of my pivotal learning experience, I learned about how a child with behavioural issues can affect the day to day running of a class. I also learned about different ways of dealing with this type of behaviour and how the teacher must often differentiate and adapt their lessons to suit the needs of a student with behavioural issues.
