Positive Behaviour Support Strategy

404 Words2 Pages

This workshop focuses on a Positive Behaviour Support strategy called Opportunities to Respond (OTR). The workshop is to educate teachers in a Lower Secondary School, Brannfjell skole, in Oslo what the strategy is, why and when they should use it, and how to use it. In addition the staff will have time to create lesson plans where they use OTR. The participants are already qualified general teachers and special education teachers. The school has not officially used OTR as a strategy, and this workshop will therefore provide basic ideas and information about how to use OTR as a tier 1 (universal) strategy. Before the workshop the staff has seen a video of non-academic use of OTR, as a teaser of how the strategy works, and read a research paper by MacSuga-Gage and Gage (2015).

Recent student surveys at Brannfjell skole reveal that students are disruptive during classes, where some classes experience more disruptive behaviour than others. In addition, some students express that they are bored in …show more content…

Managing students` behaviour is essential for the students` learning (Menzies, Lane, Oakes & Ennis, 2016). Many schools and teachers manage students` misbehaviours by removing students with unwanted behaviour from the classroom, or even the school. OTR aims to use other means than punishment, consequences and reprimands. Research has shown that such means does not teach the students to behave appropriately, as they are left out of situations to learn new behaviours (Menzies et al., 2016). Therefore there is a need for other classroom management styles, such as OTR. Not only does OTR aim to lessen classroom disruption, it also aims to increase classroom participation and engagement, on-task behaviour and academic

Three strategies that might be used to help support positive behaviour are: Modelling, because children learn part of their behaviour from those around them. (the basis of Social Learning theory). The theory claims that people working with children must be good role models: be polite, show consideration for others and wait patiently). Another suggestion of this theory is that the television and computer programmes viewed by children must be evaluated by adults. Positive culture: Adults’ expectations and attitudes towards children influence their behaviour, because when an adult believes that a child is difficult, that child is more likely to display that behaviour.

While all children and young people must understand and follow the rules, it is important that adults at school consider that all children are different and that some could need additional support in following these rules. Children with certain behaviour challenges could need more regular reminders of what is expected from them and may also benefit from extra incentives for good behaviour, such as reward charts. If extra rewards systems are put into place in a classroom to encourage positive behaviour then it must be ensured that this is maintained and that the child or young person understands that good choices equal rewards and positive attention. Students are more likely make good choices with an understanding that there is always a consequence for negative behaviour and so it is crucial that the behaviour management is well managed and consistent. Students could take the opportunity to push boundaries if they believe they may not receive a consequence for a bad choice and this could have a poor effect on their development and learning.

There are many policies in schools that children and staff should be aware of.

Qn1) Behaviour management techniques refers to the techniques used by teachers to handle the different behaviours displayed by children in class. The identified techniques that the teacher and assistant teacher used were, non-verbal messages, planned or tactical ignoring, explicit redirection and proximity and body language. The first technique we had observed from the assistant teacher was the implementation of non-verbal messages. As seen in the video during 1:06 and 6:10, whenever the assistant teacher saw Tosh playing with the slides, she will point stare at him intensely, wanting him to sit properly and pay attention.

At Meachem, there is a student who is punished for leaving the classroom on his own accord, yet when he acts out in class, the teacher will often send him into the hallway. This sends the student a mixed message on appropriate and inappropriate behavior. A way to integrate best practice in this situation is to sit down with the student and teacher and establish ground rules for appropriate behavior. One should also explain to the teacher that a child cannot be reprimanded for behaviors that the teacher is instituting. Additionally, a check in/check out system with a peer mentor may be beneficial to the student in helping them achieve daily goals, such as calming down when upset or completing class work.

This made me think about the students’ social development and their desire for acceptance. Because students are more likely to disrupt class if they are unable to speak with their peers any other time of the day, the textbook says it is essential to “create small learning communities” or “give students ‘free time’” to allow the students to informally socialize in the classroom to support their social development (Powell, pg. 41). This will also help prevent students from disrupting the teachers’ instruction. Connection 2 The second connection I made between the webinar and the material we covered in class is the idea that teachers can prevent classroom disruptions by making instruction interesting, relevant, integrative, and challenging.

The benefits of applying boundaries and rules for children and young people consistently and fairly are that all children and young people will know what is expected of them. They will understand what is acceptable and what is not. If rules and boundaries are inconsistent or unfair, children will become confused and will not know what is expected of them. They will be unsure whether their actions or comments will get them into trouble. If rules are not applied consistently as staff are not aware of them, children will react to this and comment on this, e.g. you have given X a warning and have not moved their name on the cloud.

New teachers tend to struggle more in classroom management compared to ones with years of experience. Dealing with behavior issues I can imagine is overwhelming at times, scared of not knowing what to do or how to handle the issues calmly. In my co-op placement at middle school, some teachers confessed that university didn’t prepare them well enough to deal with classroom problems. “A bigger bag of classroom management tricks would have been helpful” (Win, 2012). Teachers also dedicate endless hours preparing for original and creative lesson plans to make sure all students can comprehend new concepts using a variety of teaching methods.

Students have different academic needs and it is the responsibility of the teacher to meet every single one of them. My instructional goal is to create my lesson plans and assessments in a way that all students can be engage in the class. I have to keep in mind that every student is different and that I need to use different strategies so that they can be engage in the class. They are some students that learn through auditory channels and some others throughout visual aids. As a teacher, I would need to use different strategies to help my students in their process of learning.

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

An investigation into whether the rewards and positive reinforcement strategies change challenging behaviour in a classroom setting. This research project investigates whether the use of rewards and positive reinforcements can have an effect on challenging behaviour in a classroom setting. It examines whether rewards and positive reinforcements have an impact on children who display signs of challenging behaviour. It allows us to research and discover the different reward systems and positive reinforcement strategies that are implemented within a classroom setting.
