Disruptive Behavior Plan

Improved Essays
Behavioral contracts and plans act as guides for students who struggle with standards they must adhere to in the educational setting. Lack of such adherence leads to disruptive behavior and affects all learners, including “R,” my second grade student. Disruptive behavior has caused “R” to miss moments in class needed to improve learning, thus functions below grade level. Unsafe environments are created when “R” solves peer issues with physical contact instead of spoken words. Carter, Carter, Johnson, and Pool (2013) wrote as diverse populations increase in academic and behavioral needs providing such a safe environment becomes more difficult. Behavior intervention and social skills training on behalf of “R” has to take place for his success academically and socially. Thus, “R” would benefit from a written and signed …show more content…
With six classes totaling 100 hundred students, it seems like a daunting task, but as I continue on my path of becoming an effective educator, expectations for “R” and me continue to grow. In the past, “R” was always willing to assist me by rearranging equipment for the next class. When correction for inappropriate behavior occurred privately, the meetings would involve an explanation of rule breakage, followed by privileges lost, which “R” was respectful and understood why .Glasser’s Seven-step method in correcting “R’s” behavior seemed to be what was occurring, but on a smaller scale. This relationship based management as noted by Tran (2016) guides the student through discussions, reminders, praises, and rewards. Thus, the implementation of the behavior contract and plan would take place with the goal of surpassing the discussion and reminder part of this relationship based management system because through my experience, children like “R” tend not to receive praise or rewards

    An immediate intervention that could be used to mitigate Joey’s disruptive behavior is to establish a reward system. Joey’s disruptive behavior is motivated by a need for adult attention that manifests in the form of talking out of turn, loudly and off topic. The antecedents include: interrupting when the teacher gives attention to his classmates, talking louder if he feels he is being ignored, and off topic outbursts when he is disengaged or bored. Since this behavior persists all throughout the day, a reward system that focuses on reducing the frequency of his behavior would be most successful. The potential to spend one-on-one time with the teacher would be a reward that would eliminate the antecedents of this behavior, facilitate his need for adult attention, and have intrinsic value to Joey so that he is motivated to self-monitor his behavior.…

    A classroom model that aligns with the above personal classroom management philosophy, is the Positive Behaviour Leadership (PBL), created by Bill Rogers (Lyons, Ford & Arthur-Kelly, 2011). The key elements that stand out within PBL, are that any disciplinary actions that are taken, allow for students to become accountable for their behaviour and choices (Brady, 2005). This is congruent with the above management philosophy, as it places students at the forefront of their education and a gives them a pivotal place in the classroom. PBL is built on the knowledge that respect should be given for both students and teachers, and that all individuals have the right to feel safe and secure (Lyons, Ford & Arthur-Kelly, 2011). Respect is an important…

    Introduction The following is a study of an elementary school age student, female, Caucasian, age 10, Abby (due to confidentiality using fictitious name), who shows continual outbreaks of disruptive social behavior at the after-school center.

    In Jenna Ogier’s classroom, guided reading consists of students learning to work independently and participating in small groups as they rotate through workstations. In the video, Ms. Ogier discusses and exemplifies how she manages a classroom of 31 students as they partake in guided reading. That being said, strategies apparent in the video are consistent with Jack Kounin’s model of discipline. Kounin found that good discipline was more contingent on how effective teachers presented their lesson plans, rather than what they did to correct misbehavior after it occurred. Furthermore, he came up with five behavioral techniques that are imperative to preventing misbehavior and facilitating successful classroom management.…

    The book by Rachel Janney and Martha Snell titled, Behavioral Support, was a great read for any teacher, administrator, or other school staff member. Behavioral Support provided many suggestions for students who need more positive behavioral support in school to help them be successful. The text gave me more insight on how behavior is learned and can be changed. The text posed the following question, “Why do people act in ways that are difficult to understand, disturbing to others, and even destructive to self, others, and property?”(Janney, Snell, 5). This question really made me reflect on my own experiences as a teacher in working with students who have been distracted and/or hard to understand.…

    Classroom management is crucial for every teacher to have in a successful learning environment. I believe that students need to be controlled and disciplined; students at this age need to be guided in the right path. They are capable of self-discipline but need to be shown what the rules of the classroom are and what is the expectation of the teacher. I believe that students are basically good but that the environment around them influences them tremendously. If they maintain busy with instruction then they will not have time to be disruptive and they need to be guided to behave appropriately.…
