Introduction
Problematic student behavior is a pervasive topic in the educational field. Regardless of the behavior management training and information college graduates receive, multiple first-year teachers soon quit due to behavior issues in the classroom, according to a 2005 national survey (Teaching Tolerance, 2008). It is possible that these teachers have not yet recognized the idea that the students with behavior problems just want to be heard and understood. Behavior always has a purpose and a reason behind it (Sun, 2012).
Students enter the classroom with a variety of components that make up who they are as a child. Students with behavior issues in particular may have burdensome cultural backgrounds, …show more content…
This is a great reason to enter the field, but sadly, many teachers end up taking a “turn for the worse” when it comes to disruptive, misbehaving students that they don’t know how to handle. Screaming, yelling, and frustration are not uncommon and the desire to make a difference in children’s lives often gets lost due to a lack of behavior management. How well teachers manage their students will affect the classroom environment (Sun, 2012). Researchers have found that “Problems with discipline is the number one reason that administrators fail to rehire teachers or award tenure. It is the main source of career-related stress as reported by teachers, and the number one reason that former teachers report for having left the profession” (Mclintyre, 2006). My proposal is that by using a relationship strategy, individual student behavior will take a positive twist by merely building a relationship, this will, in turn, have a domino effect spreading to other aspects in the …show more content…
It was created and investigated by researcher Raymond Wlodkowski and has been found to be successful in eliminating classroom/behavior management issues. The theory suggests that by spending two minutes a day for 10 consecutive days with a disruptive student, the negative behavior will decrease as the teacher and child form an initial connection (McKibbin, 2015).
The purpose of this paper surrounds itself with the question: “ Is it possible to improve a student’s behavior by use of the targeted relationship building approach known as the “Two-by-Ten” over the span of ten days ?” It is significant because is offers teachers a new strategy for dealing with behavior problems in individual students with diverse needs. As many teachers know, one disruptive student can effect the entire classroom ambience.
Through observations and testing done, teachers have noticed that intentionally building relationships between the teacher and misbehaving students improved their behavior drastically . If this technique can be proven through action research, it will have an impact on the entire classroom. Teachers will no longer have to deal with individual student’s problem behaviors, their stress levels will decrease, and the classroom climate should rise (Smith,
