Improved Essays
Topic 1:

• The school discipline system being used at Gresham is strict and they follow it very closely. If there are minor infractions like classroom disturbances, harassment, horseplay, public displays of affection, etc. the student will first get a verbal warning. Then a teacher will write a discipline referral note that must go home with them for their parents/guardians to sign. In this situation the student may also get in-team isolation. The third offense will lead to the teacher writing an office referral and contacting their parents/guardians.

The special education teachers follow a different behavior management system. A student in a special education classroom may earn 0-100 block points per day. The number of points earned that day will determine the level and privileges that student has the next day. The student will earn points based on rule groups, individual goals, and paperwork. The three rule groups are following directions, positive interactions, and helping the group. My mentor teacher follows this every day. Each student has a sheet of paper with their points that they are responsible for the entire day.

Anthony* had already finished his homework and Jasmine* had not. She was having trouble with the homework apparently because Anthony was doing it for her. I sat down next to them and asked what they were doing. He said that she was having trouble so he was doing it for her. I proceeded to tell them that 's not how it works. If she doesn 't understand something how will she ever understand it if he always does it for her. They agreed with what I said and let me help her figure it out.

• The positive behaviors they displayed throughout the entire scenerio were working together and with me very well. They listened to me when I said they could not do each other 's homework. They did not argue with me at all, but instead allowed me to help her. The negavtive behavior they displayed was letting him do her homework for her at first.

• Their social-communication and language skills play a huge role in this scenerio. When I started the problems with her she was asking me quetions and solving them on her own. Some of the questions she asked me Anthony knew the answer so he would explain it to her without actually giving her the answer.

• I think I reacted well to their negative behavior by redirecting him to help her instead of doing it for her. When looking at their postitive behaviors, I was really excited to see him prompting

There are not many rules posted on the walls or written anywhere. When the students misbehave or do not follow the rules, a teacher will verbally tell the student not to repeat that action. The students do not understand right from wrong.…
