STRATEGIES FOR DEALING WITH TROUBLESOME BEHAVIORS IN THE CLASSROOM

The first step to deal effectively with inappropriate behavior is to show PATIENCE.

- this often means you’ll need to take a cooling period before you say or do something you just might regret

- this may involve having the students sitting in a timeout or alone until you’re ready to deal effectively with the inappropriate behavior.

STRATEGIES FOR DEALING WITH TROUBLESOME BEHAVIORS IN THE CLASSROOM

1. Be Democratic – children need choice. When you allow for choice, the outcomes are usually favorable-the child becomes more responsible.

2. Understand the purpose - why is the student misbehaving? Do you know what the purpose

is?-getting attention, power revenge, feeling of failures. It’s important to understand the purpose to readily support it.. Those seeking attention need to receive attention.

struggle nobody wins. - a student’s behavior is most often

influence by our behavior. If you are hostile or mad when dealing- they too will be.

4. Do the Opposite of What They Expect – when students misbehave, they often anticipate your response. Do the unexpected.

Say something positive first.

5. Find Something Positive – for students who regularly misbehave, it can be very difficult to find something positive to say. The more they receive attention for the positive things, the less apt they are to look for attention in a negative way. Remember, these students often lack belief in their own ability. We need to help them see they are capable.

6. Sense of Belonging – when students don’t feel that they belong, the result is usually the display of unacceptable behavior. Praise the child’s efforts to get along or work with others. Make sure the student has a strong sense of belonging.

STUDENTS WANT TEACHERS THAT: Respect them Care about them Listen to them Don’t yell or shout Have a sense of humor Are in a good moods Let students give their opinions and

their side/opinion

MAY THE PASSION TO TEACH FOREVER BURN IN OUR HEARTS.
