Classroom Management

Maintaining POsitive Student Behavior

Effective Behavior Management

What do you do if they chooste not to cooperate with your wonderful rules?

Discipline - to "train"; The discipline plan is our tool when a problem has occurred - when we must hold a student accountable for the choices he/she has made. Misbehavior - anything a student does that interferes with:

• your ability to teach & conduct class
• thier ability to learn
• other's ability to learn

Teacher Attitude

Passive

Assertive

Aggressive

"I'm holding you accountable for the choices you've made"

"I'm afraid of you, so do whatever you want."

"I'll make you pay for that."

Effective teachers exhibit compassiontate assertiveness. They are the adults in charge. You are responsible for the safety and learning for all of the children in your room. No matter what kind of day you are having as the teacher, never let it interfere with the way you interact with your students.

Discipline Management Intervention

Focused

Friendly

Fair

Firm

When a student misbehaves, remember it is not a crime, but a problem to be solved. Avoid being harsh, using sarcasm, raising your voice, becoming angry, lecturing, making threats or rude comments. Remember you are working with kids; you are the adult. Your job is to train them and model respect.

Standard Operating Procedure

When a student misbehavies, always intervene at the lowest possible level that still holds the student accountable and allows you to continue teaching. This is our SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) when someone is off task or occasionally misbehaves. This is not the plan when there is an emergency or major problem.

Intervene

When you need to intervene, ask yourself these questions:

• Does the student know what to do, when to do, why to do, how to do and where to do what you want him/her to do?
• if yes, then you must hold them accountable
• If no, then you teach them what, when, why, how and where

• Why is the student misbehaving?
• discovering the reason for misbehavior is the beginning of changing the behavior and preventing future problems
• sometimes behaviors that look like discipline problems are something else entirely
