Improved Essays
Show More
Osiris educational (Sept, 21, 2012), recommends tactical ignoring as a corrective strategy in order to ensure that the focus remains on the primary misbehaviour and does not turn to any secondary issues. A couple of secondary issues may be: the teacher arguing with the student or the teacher responding with punishment to a student’s bad attitude or negative facial/sound gestures. It is a method that enables the teacher to remain in control and focus on students whilst ensuring that the student concerned remains calm, without creating any further disturbances [Video].
Mrs. Mangraviti was very good at tactical ignoring. Throughout a learning day particular students would call-out, play with marbles or not want to do assigned tasks. Mrs. Mangraviti

    Bill Rodgers 'Video' Dealing With Distractions Confidently

    Hey everyone, I have chosen to reflect on Bill Rodgers’ Video ‘Dealing with distractions confidently’. I found the strategies Rodgers provided to be very direct and explicit. I believe the ideas and examples Rodgers put forth were respectful and were also time efficient. By stating the rules and calmly and confidently providing the students with a choice, it minimises the chance of the distraction escalating into a battle. Rodgers demonstrated excellent strategies that made me feel confidently manage situations without them escalating into an argument.…

    Guided Reading Video Analysis

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: Sacrifice In A Class

    Last Spring, I had a student who was in the final semester of his senior year and was oppositional and rude in class. He had come to us because he had failed out of his previous private school and we were his last option. Because he is very intelligent he loved to point out every mistake that I made in class. I would politely accept these corrections, but was annoyed by his negative attitude. When he refused to participated with classmates during an experiment, I asked him to stay after and speak with me.…

    Function Based Discipline In The Classroom: Article Analysis

    4.1.a. Non-progressive interventions/consequences In the article, Tips for Function Based Discipline in the Classroom, Gavoni (2016) characterizes non-progressive consequences by, “being the ‘same’ every time and are appropriate and function based that are related to the magnitude of the misbehavior” (para. 11). If a consequence is going to be affective in the classroom, it needs to be consistent; for this I believe the consequences need to be simple and are reflective of the behavior. Our classroom rules (listed in CMP 2.2.a.) are as follows; Respect your classmates in your words and your actions, listen when someone else is talking, come to class prepared with all required materials, and follow the teacher’s directions.…

    Classroom Intervention Paper

    Summary Interventions for maintaining the classroom have changed tremendously over the past few decades. Historically, educators depended upon a stern, loud voice and a paddle to maintain control of their classroom. Many studies have been done by researchers including the following: William Glasser, Thomas Gordon, Lee Canter, Wesley Becker, Robert Spaulding and Jane Stallings, just to name a few. The first approaches used were based on disciplining misbehavior. The approach studies shifted in the late 1960s to early 1970s toward understanding why students misbehave, helping students better understand themselves and how to assist them in developing appropriate behavior.…

    Antecedent Behavior-Consequences Chart Analysis

    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.…
