Fostering Student Self-Management • Reinforcing Appropriate Behavior • The combination of teaching and reinforcing positive behavior is the most powerful way of helping students learn to behave within boundaries established by the faculty. • Purposes of Effective Praise • Builds relationships • Teaches and clarifies expectations • Reinforces students for practicing and mastering positive behavior • Increases competence and confidence • General vs. Effective Praise Nurturing Pedagogy • Teaching Appropriate Behavior • After establishing high expectations it is necessary to directly teach positive social emotional skills and routines. • To be considered socially competent a student must be capable not only of using the social skills but of using the skills in appropriate contexts . . . with the right people, in the right place, at the right time. • Direct teaching • Name and describe the skill. • Give a rationale for why the skill is important. • Model the social skill for students. • Have students practice the skill several times. • Give feedback and praise. • Provide opportunities to practice the skills in natural settings. • Establishing High Expectations for Appropriate Behavior • Creating and teaching high expectations for positive behavior is fundamental to student success. • Students who are striving to meet high expectations are less likely to misbehave. • Expectations need to be: • Clear and specific • Challenge learners at appropriate levels • Directly taught, encouraged and positively reinforced. • Definition of Self-management: • A behavior management system that helps to reduce academic and/or social behavior problems, while shifting the responsibility of managing behavior from the teacher to the student. • Strategies that a person uses to alter his/her behavior • Self-management is: • Key to social competence • An integral part of school success and future accomplishment in life • Helps in the acquisition and maintenance of positive social behavior • http://education.byu.edu • richard_young@byu.edu • paul_caldarella@byu.edu • lynnette_christensen@byu.edu General Praise “Good Job!” “Thanks for doing that.” “You are smart.” Effective Praise “Good Job!
