When you have the desired response, you reinforce it. So you’ll often hear of teachers ‘ignoring the negative behaviour and praising the positive behaviour’.
Ways to easily positively reinforce When you........... We will............ Example: When you have finished your work and put everything away, we will go for a break (NB Also think When – Then)
When you.... We will...... When you stay away from non-social media websites you can earn internet time/other positive
So, reinforcementstrengthens the behaviour and makes it likely that a person will behave that way again. • That can also be negative…..
Example • Donna is a reluctant student and turns up late to class. Her teacher sends her away.
Negative reinforcement This is immediately a win situation for Donna. She doesn't want to be in class so by arriving late she gets into conflict that ends in a situation asking her to leave
