  4. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAVE A STUDENT WITH INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR ?

  5. INTERVENTIONS • talk to the student in private and avoid from confrontations where a student might loose face • work at understanding the root cause of the behaviour • involve the student in setting goals and consequences • involve the parents also so that a consistent approach could be used at home and school • provide preferential seating • regular check on the student

  6. Continued… • Avoid over reacting to the student’s behaviour giving the student chance to correct that behaviour • Confer with the student and ask how he or she learns best • Teach and reinforce with the student, the concept of each person's right of space • Carefully use humour to diffuse the problem

  7. Continued……………….. • Use professionalism • Remain calm and quiet • Ignore the challenge • Withdraw from conflicts • Do not raise your voice • Be aware of your body language • Approach problems with the student with a problem solving approach rather than blaming the student • Establish an eye contact before giving the instructions

  8. IF THE STUDENT IS REPEATING THE SAME BEHAVIOUR

  9. School Support Team: • May develop an IEP OR • May seek an advice from the board for furthur medical diagnosis • Refer the student to IPRC • IPRC identifies the student on the basis of categories listed by the ministry of education

  10. According to ministry of education: • According to the ministry of edu.: A learning disorder characterized by specific behaviour problems over such a period of time and to such a marked degree, and of such a nature as to adversely affect the performance and could be accompanied by more of the following: a) an inability to build and maintain interpersonal relationships b) excessive fears or anxieties c) a tendency to impulsive reaction d) inability to learn that can not be traced to intellectual, sensory or other health factors or any combination thereof

  11. Characteristics or symptoms of behaviour exceptionality • The characteristics are based on certain tendencies, such as disregarding the social and cultural norms. For example: • Destroying their own , other person's or school property • Being disobedient, defying authority, testing limits, refusing to follow directions • Being domineering, uncooperative, resistive, inconsiderate or disruptive. • Fighting, hitting or assaulting others.

  12. Continued… • Intimidating, threatening, bullying others • being restless boisterous and noisy • being untrustworthy or dishonest, stealing and lying. • using profane or abusive language and gestures • demonstrating criminal behaviour or vandalism • Often skipping school

  13. Some students tend to be impulsive or compulsive, which negatively effects learning. These students may: • Speak out • Disrupt the class • display temper tantrums • repetitively show the same behaviour • day dream, short attention span or poor concentration, lack of focus.

  14. Students with poor interpersonal relationship and low self esteem may be: • uncooperative in groups, argumentative or passively non-compliant • seek attention • depend on other and require constant reassurance • hypersensitive, get hurt easily or embarrassed

  16. Factors that cause behaviour disorders :

  17. From the mental health point of view behaviour disorder can be caused by these factors: • Environmental: like pollution metals etc. can cause behaviour disorders • Psychodynamic: The problems occur due to deep rooted inner disorder and deviations are manifestations of this. • Ecological: an individual's relationship with the family and his peers sometimes brings up the unacceptable behaviour

  18. Continued………. • Psycho educational: A students behaviour may be a combination of circumstances that are brought about in the school. • Behaviourist: This may result following a wrong role model and having been taught wrong things. • Biophysical: Malnutrition and deficiencies in genetics cause abnormal behaviours • Allergies: allergies may also be the reason of behaviour

  19. Students with behaviour issues/students with behaviour exceptionality • The students with behaviour issues may not be identified by IPRC but may have an IEP. These students can be : • Disruptive in the class • Noisy • Stubborn
