  8. Students Choose Their Behavior

  9. The Four Goals ofMisbehavior • Attention “Look at Me” • Power “Let’s Fight/You Can’t Make Me” • Revenge “I’ll Get Even” • Avoidance of Failure “Leave Me Alone”

  10. Identifying the Goal • How do I feel? • What do I usually do? • As a result, what does the student do?

  11. Attention Seeking Behavior • I feel irritated and annoyed • My impulse to respond is to nag, remind, correct or rescue. • When I do respond, the misbehavior stops, at least temporarily.

  12. Interventions for Attention Seeking Behavior • Give the Eye • Target-Stop-Do • Grandma’s Law • Stand Close By • Name Dropping • Proximity Praise/Compliance Praise • Talk To The Wall

  13. Give lots of Positive Attention for Appropriate Behavior Teach students how to ask for attention Allow for “student spotlight” Preventing Attention Seeking Behavior

  14. Power Seeking Behavior • I feel angry or frustrated. • My impulse to respond is to fight back or give in. • When I do respond, the misbehavior continues until it stops on the student’s own terms.

  15. Revenge Seeking Behavior • My pressure gauge is boiling. I feel hurt, anger or dislike. • My impulse to strike back or withdraw emotionally. • When I do respond, the misbehavior intensifies until it stops on the student’s own terms.

  16. Interventions for Power and Revenge Behavior Graceful Exits-Fogging Techniques • Acknowledge Student Power • Agree With the student • Deliver a Closing Statement • State Both Viewpoints • Call the Student’s Bluff • Table The Matter

  17. Grant legitimate power Avoid and defuse confrontations Control Self Build Caring Relationships Teach strategies to deal with aggressive feelings and hostility Preventing Power and Revenge Behavior

  18. Avoidance of Failure Behavior • I feel frustrated or professional concern. • My impulse to respond is to give up or seek help. • When I do respond, there is no change in behavior and work continues to be avoided.

  19. Interventions for Avoidance of Failure Behavior • Make Mistakes Okay • Model learning from mistakes • Break tasks in to component parts • Teach positive self-talk

  20. Erase the rule of the red pen. Decrease competition Keep expectations reasonable. Use Encouragement Strategies(Capable, Connected, Contributing) Preventing Avoidance of Failure Behavior
