Sully's Behavior Analysis

Improved Essays
I have noticed a decline in Sully's behavior in my class over the last couple weeks. Sully has been a good and fun loving student throughout this school year and I am sure he is just getting the end of the year jitters, but I really would like him to hold it together a little bit longer. Sully has not brought a pencil to my class in at least a month, it feels like every single day he is asking for a new pencil. I have started to refuse giving him a pencil and now he will just sit and do nothing until I walk by and question him.

In addition to the pencil situation he has needed more reminders to stay seated and on task than usual. Today Sully's behavior escalated when he decided to walk out of my classroom without permission. He and another

    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.…

    Kelvin’s behaviour Throughout the year, the class team has tried its best to help Kelvin modify his challenging behaviour. He has his good days but he often doesn’t seem to listen to what the class team says to him and thus no improvement was shown. When kelvin sees a peer demonstrate inappropriate behaviour, he still tends to copy it. Like for example, he stands up and goes around the class when the children are supposed to stay seated, he hands over the copy books directly to the teacher when he is supposed to wait for a peer to collect them, he interrupts his teacher when she is delivering a lesson explanation and there were instances when he also says rude words.…

    In other words, I feel like his behaviors is more covered with of emptiness and inappropriate behaviors, so learning with reinforcements seems better to eliminate those unwanted behaviors. For instance, to increase his appropriate behavior with positive reinforcement, we can give him candies or desserts whenever he speaks and participates in class (not only to the teacher but also when they are doing group work with his friends), or even providing pizza parties when he obtains more than 20 candies or shows more effort on participating. For another example, we can give an “A” or an award on any of the classes he’s doing good at. Let’s say he is still smart in math, giving him an “A” or an award will bring at least one positive behavior towards him when he walks into his math…

    It seems as though having a proactive classroom support staff member is a positive thing for many of the students in the class. This helped prevent many of the common distractions found in the teacher’s students; which contributed to more time being spent on task. This could lead to an increase in student academics as their understanding of material develops. The main classroom teacher should encourage the other support staff members that work in his room to engage more with the students and put their phones down. It is clear that such steps would have positive results for the students and teacher.…
