Part1- Choice of the model and Justification Effective teaching cannot occur without developing and implementing effective behaviour management plans. In this assignment, I set out to develop a plan based upon Glasser’s Choice theory and using the scaffold provided by Integrated Model. The Integrated Model of classroom management provides a practical scaffold for developing a personal model of classroom management. I’ve decided to use the Integrated Model to develop my classroom management plan because it is a flexible model that can be used in a range of settings across the school. The model is suitable for beginner and experienced teachers alike, which means that I can continue to use it as my teaching experience grows and my personal philosophy …show more content…

Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological theory identifies five main environment systems which influence a child’s behaviour. (Bronfenbrenner, 1979, Pg. 16). Along with family, peer group, classroom and school community, children are also influenced by the social and political ideologies surrounding them. Skinner’s Applied Behaviour Analysis teaches behaviour through “the manipulation of antecedent conditions and reinforcing consequences” (Lyon, Kelly Ford, 2014, Pg. 13). In practice the applied behaviourism is used in many basic classroom management practices by teachers as well as in practices that are used in responding to challenging behaviours. It provides a “model for explaining and changing human behaviour under everyday conditions’ ( Kelly, Lyons, Butterfield, Gordon, Classroom management: creating positive learning environments, 2007, Pg. …show more content…

Psycho-educational theories seek need based explanations for student misbehaviour. Both Glasser’s Choice theory and Driekurs’ goal-centered theory (GCT) are non-coercive and believe in choice and responsibility. GCT states that everyone has an “innate need and desire to belong to social groups” (Lyon, Kelly Ford, 2014, Pg. 23). Students misbehave when they mistakenly think that it will lead them to group belonging. Glasser states that all behaviours are an attempt to satisfy five basic needs- survival, belonging, power, freedom and fun. “We behave in certain ways to get what we want.” (Glasser, 1985, Pg. 242) Teachers should strive to create environments that match closely to student’s ‘quality worlds’, where their basic needs are being met. Teachers can’t control the behaviour of the students as all behaviour is chosen in order to meet one’s basic needs. Only the individuals themselves can control their behaviour. Teachers can build positive relationships and structure teaching and learning process to satisfy the unmet basic needs that lead to misbehaviour. Teachers can also help students to identify the triggers of their behaviours, which in turn empower them to choose more appropriate reactions to those feelings. As they do so, their behaviours will

  • Essay On Behaviour Is A Socio Cultural Construct

    1524 Words  | 4 Pages

    There are numerous influences within a child’s environment that can impact their behaviour such as; economics, education, gender and religion (Morrow, 2011). All these factors combined can shape a child’s belief system and determine an individual’s acceptance and tolerance of certain behaviours. For example, if a student has a strict routine at home where they must take their shoes off before entering the house and no other students abide by this rule in the classroom, the student may take offence to this and lash out at those students. A teacher observing this behaviour may perceive the child’s emotion as misbehaving because they may not understand the student’s cultural values. It is important that caretakers and teachers are aware of the social constructs that impact students so they can be aware of the possible reasons behind student’s behaviours. Behaviours displayed by a child can be explained by looking into their ecological systems to understand why the behaviour is

  • My Classroom Management Philosophy

    586 Words  | 2 Pages

    My personal philosophy of classroom management focuses on creating an environment where children feel safe and where they feel like they belong. I will create this environment for my fourth grade class through making my expectations of the students clear while developing an engaging lesson plan and personable interactions with my students. I developed my philosophy from studying different theorists and based my philosophy on the theories of Glasser and Kounin. Glasser believed that the teacher’s roll in the classroom is that of a leader rather than a boss. He believed that students should be given power in the classroom and that the teacher should share it with the students. I will use his ‘7 caring habits’ specifically supporting and respecting to help my classroom feel safe and welcoming to my students. Meeting the individual needs of my students will be the focus of my classroom management routine. I will meet individual needs by promoting self management and self efficacy in my students by creating an environment that that has predictable and consistent daily routines while focusing on my student’s successes (Shindler, 2010). Having a predictable routine will encourage a success oriented environment and will reduce anxiety and help towards creating positive self efficacy in each of my students (Shindler, 2010). In Glasser’s Choice Theory he talks about focusing on the present and not bringing up the past (Glasser, 2010). Therefore, I will focus my classroom on being goal driven and will help each student obtain their goals. Thus, helping my students have positive self efficacy. I will apply Kounin’s technique of Momentum (Pressman, 2011). This involves the teacher keeping exercises short and moving around the room a lot so...

  • Self-Efficacy Among Teachers

    2822 Words  | 6 Pages

    Classroom management, involving all the strategies used by teachers in order to provide order in the classroom, can be regarded as an essential for effective teaching and learning. According to Davis (1981), “basic classroom management is just plain good sense. Yet, it can be as personal as your private lifestyle” (p.79). One of the biggest challenge teachers face day in and day out is dealing with behavior of children and young pupils in classroom. Therefore, the classroom practice of individual teachers would be the key aspect of improving the behavior of pupils in schools (Hart, 2010). One of the significant attribute of promise to teaching, especially in classroom behavior management, is teacher’s sense of efficacy. According to Woolfolk-Hoy (2000), development of self-efficacy is essential for producing effective, committed and ardent teachers, Moreover, teachers who are trained to be more effective in meeting both academic and non-academic student needs create a positive and successful classroom environment for all students (Alvares, 2007). The importance of self-efficacy in behavior management has been highlighted by Martin, linfoot, and stephenson (1999) who proposed that teacher’ responses to misbehavior may be mediated by their beliefs about their ability to deal with behavior, as well as their beliefs about the causes of student misbehavior.

  • Effective Discipline in Classroom Management

    1120 Words  | 3 Pages

    As a teacher managing problem behavior in your classroom can be one of the most challenging tasks. Behavior problems can range from disruption of lessons to acts of violence against fellow students and teachers. Children’s emotional setbacks and life challenges can also contribute to behavior issues at school. A study done by the Justice Center and the Public Policy Research Institute found that six out of ten students suffered from an “emotional disturbance” and were expelled or suspended between seventh and twelfth grade (Firke, 2011). This same study showed that discipline varied greatly between schools. This report also revealed the urgent need for a more thoughtful technique in school discipline policies. In many cases teachers have exhausted their classroom management strategies without success. Behavior Modification is aimed at improving school and classroom behavior, and can give teachers additional tools to help them to deal proactively and effectively with behaviors that are disruptive to students and teachers in the classroom. When children are disruptive in the classroom it can cause a lot of problems for their classmates and their teacher. Yet, in the long run, it's the disruptive child themselves who is most impacted, on both a social and educational level (Epstein, Atkins, Cullinan, Kutash, & Weaver, 2008). Behavior modification techniques should be used in school, to change the negative behaviors, and increase the positive behaviors seen in these children.

    Discipline models can be implemented to alter or change student’s behaviour. Sophie is a graduate teacher starting at a new school in a year 6 class. The school has a policy requirement requiring students to complete a minimum of 10 minutes of homework each weeknight. She has chosen to implement a Behavioural Modification (BM) model to address the issue. This model is based on altering behaviour through the use of reinforcements and punishments. The BM model encompasses various steps, and is an appropriate approach for Sophie to implement, as she is new to teaching and the class. Other discipline models such as the Assertive Disciple (AD) model, and the Democratic Disciple (DD) model could be implemented in conjunction with the BM model if

As I stated earlier, my initial educational philosophy was behavioral. I was somewhat surprised to find that I still scored the highest in this category on my self-assessment. However, after further reflection and reading B.F. Skinner, I believe that behavioral aspects still have an important role in education today. As an educator I have a moral responsibility to help students learn how to function as members of a classroom community. Skinner believes that the environment of a classroom and school should be as “conducive as possible to students’ learning”.
