Difficult Student Behaviour and Savvy Ways to deal with it
Tough to escape the past?
Students who are punished often have revenge fantasies that interrupt true remorse for what they have done. They are not given the opportunity to make amends. Punishment clears the ledger and allows re-offending in the future without attendant feelings of guilt.” Ian Lillico, 2004

“The detention system just

“Teachers have barely changed teaching methods over the past 200 years ... we have a long history of innovation but it rarely touches but a chosen few.” Hattie, Visible Learning (2009), p 254
“Our biggest challenge is to change the notion of what a teacher is. The education of our children is demanding a new teaching culture. One that necessitates a very different way of interacting and respecting students.”
Hattie, Visible Learning (2009)

The 4 goals of misbehaviour
A reflective question:
Why do some kids choose the other road?
Adler’s basic premises
1. Man is a social being and his main desire is to belong
2. All behavior is purposive. One cannot understand behavior of another person unless one knows to which goal it is directed, and it is always directed towards finding one's place
3. Man is a decision-making organism
4. Man does not see reality as it is, but only as he perceives it, and his perception may be mistaken or biased
The 4 goals of misbehaviour
attention ‘I must keep you busy with me.’
power/ control‘I have to be the boss’
revenge‘I’ll show you how it feels’
displays of inadequacy‘Never have. Never can. Never will’

Jonah's close friends say he’s “full of shit” about Amanda. They’ve never seen her! They also question how good his breakdancing is.
“The challenge is for teachers to ‘like’ kids they find offensive. This is exactly what is needed if teachers want to create class environments where respect and cooperation are fostered.”

‘misbehaviour’• Get into teams (mix them up)• Show the clip• Offer guiding questions• Teams develop a hypothesis about
the behaviour + suggestions for what teacher might have done differently

I build my model trains to wind down
It’s embarrassing, but I take a ‘nanna nap’
after work
I take the dog for a walk every morning.
That helps!
I get home, shower and put on ‘at home’
clothes. Then, I’m ok!
I drink!
We have some strategies; but what ingredients really make the difference with difficult, or discouraged kids?

“Just as we are learning to value and conserve the air we breathe, the water we drink, the energy we use, we must learn to value and conserve our capacity for nurture. Otherwise, we will slowly but surely erode the source of our humanity” Elaine Heffner, 1996
