Garrrett Behavior

Decent Essays
During academic class periods, Garrrett will pick at his body until he bleeds. When asked to stop he will say that he cannot. This behavior seems to occur when he is in a large group academic setting, or when he is being addressed by adults.

The behavior often occurs to escape tasks. The student will talk out and disrupt the class to go to the learning support classroom to escape tasks demands place upon him. The behavior will escalate when the student is not sent. The behavior appears to be anxiety driven.

The behavior of concern occurs most frequently during academic classes in the regular education setting for an extended period of time, including some special classes such as music, computer, STEM, and library.

    Satire In The Simpsons

    In today’s society we are introduced to many problems that are always put to the side and is never taken care of because people are so in denial and don’t want to face the truth. In the simpsons intro the writer uses satire( the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues) to explore the flaws of society through his made up fictional characters. Some issues that I have come to a realization are the fact that parents in this century are not paying enough attention to their children and holding them fully responsible for their own actions. In other words children are doing whatever they please with no care whatsoever in the world because they know that there is no consequences for their actions. This also causes these children and teens to misbehave in class which leads to a distraction that takes away learning from kids whom parents actually send them to school to learn.…

    There was one student in the classroom that had extreme behavioral issues. This student was placed in a program the school has that gives the students behavior contracts that the teacher needs to fill out daily. This specific student was always being put on timeout and being called out for his actions in front of the entire class. I noticed that when this student would act out or disrupt the class, my mentor teacher would automatically assume the worst and give him a poor score on his behavior contract for the day. This would just upset the student even further and would make him act out more throughout the day.…

A student wouldn't pay attention in class because he might think that it is not worth it to try to pass the class and ends up failing.…

    When observing student A during his literacy lesson rug time instruction, I take note of what is going on before his off-task behavior begins to erupt. The three times student A gears his attention to something else in the classroom is when the teacher is giving directions, while the class is having a discussion, in other words when the teacher asks a question and the kids respond by raising their hand, and finally when the teacher is lecturing or informing the students on a topic. Within those three scenarios, I noticed that student A’s problem behavior happens the most during class discussion, when the students are interacting with the teacher.…

    Martin teaches a combined 6th-8th grade middle school class for students with emotional and behavior disorders. The focus of the classroom is to encourage school appropriate behaviors in order to enable the students to return to the general education setting while utilizing the EBD classroom for study skills and emotional support as needed. Currently, the classroom utilizes a level system in which the students must maintain an 80% or better level of expected behavior for their current level, throughout the day, in order to increase towards the next level. A student’s failure to obtain an 80% results in the student remaining at the same day of the current level; however, losses of days and level drops may be issued after warnings due to excessive acts of aggression; overt acts of disrespect towards staff; or blatant disregard for rules. Each level includes an increasing number or freedoms and benefits associated with it which the students find valuable.…

    The following Antecedent-Behavior-Consequences (ABC) Chart has been prepared for Jackson K. Direct observation was done during his Integrated Algebra 1A class to complete the ABC chart. The purpose was to identify “environmental and contextual variables that support challenging behavior” (Chandler and Dahlquist, 70). There are some consequences that are often related to appropriate and challenging behaviors, some desirable and others not. Unfortunately, oftentimes students that engage in challenging behaviors are removed from the learning environment. This is not helpful because the function of this behavior is avoidance and so the behavior is successful from the student’s perspective.…
