The students of today now love luxury. They have bad manners. They show disrespect to adults, and love to talk, rather than work or exercise. They contradict their teachers, chatter in front of company, gobble down their food at the table, and intimidate their teachers. ????
Five Basic Concepts of Classroom Management • Classroom Structure • Overtly Teaching how to behave (situation dependent) • Observe & monitor student behavior • Frequently Interact positively with students • Pre-plan how to Correct misbehavior fromCHAMPS (Randy Sprick’s Safe & Civil Schools)
Consequences STOP behavior; consequences don’t change behavior. • Student motivation & encouragement are linked to student behavior. • Expect-Connect-Correct • Positive interaction ratio should be between 5:1 and 10:1. “Correction does much, but encouragement does more.” Goethe
Positive Behavior Supports • Clear school-wide expectations • Comprehensive instruction in expected behaviors • System for providing consistent encouragement of expected behaviors and correction of behavior errors • Building community connections
