Classroom Management Plan In The Classroom

Superior Essays
Overview “For an individual teacher who’s just been hired to be able to walk in with a plan of what are you going to do when a kid misbehaves or what are you going to do for the kids who behave, and what are your expectations and how are you going to teach it to the kids, so to be able to walk in with that that first day kind of helps them cross the threshold of their classroom a bit more confident…” (www.iris.peabody.vanderbuilt, 2016) In a moderate to severe special education being prepared on the first day of school helps the flow of the classroom.

Rather, the effective teacher performs many functions. These functions can be organized into three major roles: (1) making wise choices about the most effective instructional strategies to employ, (2) designing classroom curriculum to facilitate student learning, and (3) making effective use of classroom management techniques.” (Marzano, et. al, 2003) Within a classroom, materials such as behavior charts, rules, classroom jobs, schedules and timers are used to help students with Autism or any special need help with daily routines and staying on …show more content…
To do so, you will need to complete a functional behavior assessment that will allow you to identify the current antecedents and consequences.” (Bogin, et. al, 2009) Focusing on frequency of the behavior, the topography of the behavior and the intensity/severity of the behavior will be collected as the baseline. Frequency data collection sheet will target how often the behavior is occurring throughout the day. It is important to have a complete schedule of each day and every time the student’s behavior becomes disruptive, then a check mark will be added to the data sheet. Next, topography data (as known as A-B-C) will tell the antecedent, the behavior and the consequence. For example, what happened before the behavior (thought they were in trouble), what type of behavior occurred after being told to sit down (eloping), and what was the consequence (sit in front office). This data collection helps find the triggers of disruptive behaviors. Finally, how severe/intense is the behavior when it occurs; 1 to 5, 5 being high and 1 being low. It will take two weeks to collect all the data for intervention, knowing that the student will be at school every day. Intervention will replace the existing behavior. For example, there was a student that who would elope each time he felt that the teacher was upset with him. The

    Colarusso et al. (2013) stated that if behaviors become really bad during class time there are certain procedures and consequences that occur. Students who continually display disruptive behaviors on a daily basis should be considered for a functional behavior assessment (FBA) (Colarusso et al., 2013). An FBA is completed by a team composed of educators that have worked with and are familiar with the child. The FBA is enforced to collect data for a behavior intervention plan (BIP) (Colarusso et al., 2013).…

    At the core of the argument for separating students on the autism spectrum into self-contained classrooms exists the concept of providing individualized attention to their academic needs. As many supporters of a self-contained special education system may argue, the structure of this form of education constructs an environment in which the academic pacing is more suitable for children with learning disabilities. These special educational settings, designed to provide personalized academic guidance, are more appropriately devised to meet individual educational needs than mainstream classrooms. Inclusive classes introduce numerous challenges to general educational instructors who frequently lack the time and resources to successfully accommodate…

My first thought is how one grasps the minds of this young age group of students through classroom management.

    A teacher’s goal is to maximize his or her student’s potential. Traditionally, the biggest challenge for students with disabilities was to meet their needs in the areas of social, behavioral, cognitive, perceptive and motor skills (Adebisi et al. 14). A learning disability is defined by the Schwab Foundation as a person who is diagnosed by a professional with a difficulty as a result of a CNS dysfunction in the areas or reading, writing, math, science, reasoning speaking, or listening. In order to meet the diverse needs of these students, they were traditionally removed from the mainstream classroom and placed in a separate classroom to learn. Although this was the best way to meet the students’ academic needs, their social needs were grossly…
