EDPS 310Classroom Management Chapter 9 Classroom interventions for chronic problems
3 Management Techniques • Self-monitoring • Anecdotal record keeping • Behaviour contracting
Personal Experience • I am easily distracted, and I got in trouble a lot in school, and caused a lot of disturbances in class. While I actually desired to behave, I didn’t have the control or self-discipline to do it as well as I would have liked. Factors contributing to this behaviour included: lack of discipline, peer pressure, and general boredom or disinterest with the subject. I wanted to do better, but never made any great leaps and bounds. • How could the following 3 management techniques have helped me improve my behaviour?
Self-monitoring • Self-monitoring is a natural result of personal conferences • KISS - cannot be too time-consuming or cumbersome • “If the student is successful in managing the selected behaviour, experience has shown that subsequent behaviours are more readily corrected.” (Levin, 2005, p.215)
Self-monitoring • Teacher cues - use a code word or action to get student back on track and keep your cool • “The effectiveness of self-monitoring relies heavily on how the use of the instrument is explained to the student.” (Ibid., p.216)
proper Self-monitoring builds Self-esteem Self-control
Anecdotal record keeping • What do you do when a student refuses to participate in self-monitoring? • You monitor them, with or without their consent • Simply keep a record of student’s behaviour • 9 guidelines • Return to private conference to review behaviour with student • “Catch the student being good”
Behaviour contracting • “A behaviour that is enforced is likely to be repeated, and ... a behaviour that is not reinforced will disappear.” (Ibid., p.220) • Purpose: Manage behaviour, encourage self-discipline, and to improve student’s commitment to appropriate classroom behaviour
Behaviour contracting - 3 Steps • A behaviour contract must detail: • The expected behaviour • Time period • The reward • Problem: this only works well up to middle school or with special education classes (Ibid., p.221)
Which one would have been most effective for me? • Why? Discuss • Suggestions for rewards
