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.

He was bullied and left out. Barely any one wanted to be his friend, which was so heartbreaking.

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.

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

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

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.
