Understand why students misbehave • Understand what you can do to promote good behavior • Learn techniques for setting the tone of the classroom and getting attention • Begin to think about peer teaching *time permitting* Objectives
Discuss the questions in front of you. You will have 5 minutesto discuss and you will be reporting back to the group. With your neighbors (groups of 3)
Three questions to ask: • What aspects of your program might make it difficult for the student to behave? • What individual issues might the young person be dealing with that could contribute to inappropriate behavior? • What can you do to help the young person be more likely to choose positive behavior over negative behavior? What causes misbehavior?
Programmatic reasons for behavior problems: • Boredom • Too many rules • Too few or undefined rules • Not enough control • Groups are too large • Environment not conducive • Lack of materials • Lack of planning : http://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/new-teacher-survival-guide-classroom-management What causes misbehavior?
Personal issues • Family issues • Differing norms • Physical issues • Need for attention • Need for re-orientation • Distractions/too stimulated • Bad day What causes misbehavior?
The goal is to help students to become self-disciplined and control their behavior. • Good guidance involves teaching students what they CAN do and explaining why they shouldn’t do certain things. • http://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/freedom-within-form-how-much-is-too-much?fd=1 The goal!
Buy in of students • Understand what rules they live by (school, home, other organizations) • Simple rules (some suggest limit it to 5) • Consequences • Rules are posted • Consistency • Understanding and Kindness • Praise • Behavior/attention signals are taught How do we guide behavior?
Set unrealistic expectations • Physical force • Yelling • Power plays • Bribes • Reprimanding in public • Making students apologize • Notice everything What not to do…
Look for patterns and triggers • Get to know the students, talk to parents/teachers • Other than the child, what may be the problem? • Work with other staff members and other stakeholders • Follow up! Steps for solving problems
Group A: Joe, Wade, Ellie, Erin • Group B: Ellie, Karissa, Lance, Carlos • Group C: Nikki, Jen, Laura • Group D: Christine, Katie, Cortez Ready, Set, Get into groups!
A) You are trying to explain the next activity to a group of children and two or three of them are talking to others sitting near them and causing a distraction. B) During free time you see two children fighting. C) Maria comes up to you on the playground, crying. She says that she wants to play with a group of girls and they said the game was closed. D) Joey is continually disruptive. Every time you turn around he is making someone cry. When you ask him what he did wrong he seems sorry but his behavior does not seem to be changing. Scenarios
A) You overhear a group of 6th – 8th graders using swear words as they exchange stories during snack. B) You notice that Denise is avoiding three older boys in the program who she used to laugh and flirt with. During the last couple of weeks, you’ve noticed that she’s become a lot less verbal and shows less enthusiasm. C) As you explain the rules for a game that the group will be playing, Mark says, “I’m not playing this stupid game.” D) When Alicia is continually disruptive, you tell her you will call her parents, she says, “I don’t care, they wont care and you wont reach them anyway!” Scenarios
