AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

1) To identify areas of indiscipline that leads to

disruption of lesson delivery

2) To appreciate the difference between intended

and unintended consequences of behavior

3) To identify and apply those techniques of

behavior management that are most likely to

lead to the intended consequences and

outcomes that are conducive to student

learning


5/17

AREAS OF INDISCIPLINE

1) Lack of respect

2) Lack of personal responsibility

3) Impatience and impulsiveness

4) Difficulty in paying attention

5) Aggression and violence

6) Immaturity and inability to demonstrate age-

appropriate behavior


6/17

CONSEQUENCES OF BEHAVIOR

All behavior has consequences

Some consequences are obvious while others

are subtle

In some cases, outcomes bear no similarity to

that which we intended (e.g. the teacher shouts

to keep the noise level down, which only serves

to excite the students further and raise the

noise level of the classroom.)


7/17


A knowledge of group psychology is important

In order to ensure that intended outcomes are

achieved, the teacher should at all times model

the types of behaviors he/she wants to develop

You must be thechange you want tosee in the world


8/17


Children must learn that dysfunctional

behaviors will lead to disciplinary consequences

Teachers can help students to learn the natural

consequences of their behaviors e.g. if a task isnot completed during class-time, they may have

to use their recess to complete it

Detention can be used as an opportunity to

complete unfinished assignments

Can you think of some other examples?


9/17


Things to remember

At all times, consequences and restitutions

should be relayed to students in a respectful

and calm manner.

Refrain from dramatic displays of anger and

attempts to humiliate the student publicly.

When the student has complied with theteachers requirements, there should be no

further reference to the issue.

Remember..a little forgiveness makes life a lot morebearable, doesnt it?


10/17

BEHAVIORAL MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES

1) Physical layout of the classroom

Classroom furniture must be comfortable

and appropriately arranged according to

teaching needsAdequate lighting and a noise free

environment

A clean and odour-free environment

2) Enabling teacher behaviors

Be appropriately attired.

Teachers should not be under the influence ofalcohol or other illicit drugs.

Be prepared (content, materials and

equipment).Establish and maintain control.

Communicate effectively.

Use space (move throughout the classroom).

Establish eye contact.

Learn the names of your students and addressthem directly.


12/17

STUDENT-TEACHER INTERACTIONS

Correcting student misbehavior is mandatory.

Give all corrections in close proximity, with eyecontact and a quiet but firm voice.

Give corrections immediately following the

disruptive behavior. Corrective statements must emphasise the

positive intended outcomes e.g. you need tostoptalking instead ofyou are too noisy.

Learn to provide positive feedback whenstudents respond appropriately. (well done!,

good response! etc)


13/17

STUDENT-TEACHER INTERACTIONS

Teachers must exercise proper judgment and

must be able to distinguish the various levels of

discipline.

They must be able to distinguish between those

offences that will be dealt with before, duringand after the class.

They must know those incidents that must be

referred to other authorities.


14/17

TEACHER-TEACHER INTERACTIONS

Teachers should share information that wouldassist their colleagues in classroommanagement.

Teachers should refrain from statements,comments and references that are aimed atundermining the professional integrity of their

colleagues in the presence of their students .

Under no conditions must statements be madeor attitudes expressed that displays prejudices

with respect to race, gender, class and ethnicity.
