Recommended: Approaches To Effective Classroom Management

Self Observation: Behavior Management Dimension For this assignment, I filmed myself teaching a mid-unit Math lesson on ‘money’; the lesson included reviewing the goal and scales of learning, a smart board review of the concept and a hands-on activity. I chose to assess myself with the Behavior Management portion of the CLASS assessment tool because I feel that as a beginning teacher, this is the area that I wish to improve most upon. I believe that successful and effective classroom management will facilitate learning, class climate and instructional delivery, therefore, I am mostly focusing on improving this skill throughout this semester. I chose to record myself during the math lesson, primarily, because math is my least favorite subject. Admittedly, I hated math as a student and I think that my feelings stem from a handful of teachers who made their loathing of the subject very well known. For these reasons, I have vowed to change my own attitude towards the subject …show more content…

This was amazing to see especially because this was the first lesson where the manipulatives were introduced to the students. . The students only needed gentle reminders in regards to expectations and were overall engaged and focused throughout the lesson. I also feel that the success of the lesson was founded on the clear expectations that I set out in the beginning. My enthusiasm for the lesson also helped engagement and redirecting behavior by a call and response that was animated (Me: oh class. Class: oh yes!) gently reminded students of my expectations while also regaining their engagement. Some students called out answers out of turn, but I feel that was due to my sometimes-unclear directions of who was to answer my questions. Although this did not halt or hinder the lesson, it is something that I plan to work on. For this reason, I believe that I scored in the middle range of the domain, at a level

  • BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION

    465 Words  | 1 Pages

    Behavior modification is based on the principles of operant conditioning, which were developed by American behaviorist B.F. Skinner. In his research, he put a rat in a cage later known as the Skinner Box, in which the rat could receive a food pellet by pressing on a bar. The food reward acted as a reinforcement by strengthening the rat's bar-pressing behavior. Skinner studied how the rat's behavior changed in response to differing patterns of reinforcement. By studying the way the rats operated on their environment, Skinner formulated the concept of operant conditioning, through which behavior could be shaped by reinforcement or lack of it. Skinner considered his discovery applicable to a wide range of both human and animal behaviors(“Behavior,” 2001).

Students will reach their full potential in a positive learning environment.

The positive learning environment will be a classroom setting, which allows students to feel welcomed, safe, and important on daily basis allowing learning to occur to its fullest potential.

  • Productive and Counterproductive Behaviors Paper

    Staff behaviors control the performance and capabilities of an organization. Most workers display productive or counterproductive productive behaviors that have effect on workers, clients, and programs. The ability to control these behaviors is a necessary part of delivering exceptional services. Many workers automatically adopt behaviors that fit in with the best interest of the organization. Although these behaviors are common, some employees fail to follow order and create havoc for others around them. Productive behavior allows workers to perform daily functions whereas counterproductive behaviors develop issues that are costly. Good behavior contributes to goals and objectives set by the organization (Britt & Jex, 2008).

  • The Reflection Of The Behavioral Approach System

    1635 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Behavioural Approach System (BAS) is one of the three major systems in the neuropsychological theory of personality known as the reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST) which recognizes other two defensive systems; the Fight-Flight-Freeze System (FFFS), responsible for the active avoidance of, and escape, from, aversive stimuli; and the Behavioural Inhibition System (BIS), responsible for passive avoidance and the detection and resolution of goal-conflict. It is assumed that the BAS represents a general-domain approach mechanism designed to solve the important evolutionary adaptive problem of attaining critical resources, such as food, water, sex and social status (Berridge, 2004; Berridge & Robinson, 2003; Kenrick & Shiota,

  • Significant Moment Essay

    1624 Words  | 4 Pages

    This moment strikes me as significant because I think it was one of the best lessons I have taught so far. During the opening and closure of the lesson I felt like I really asked the students challenging questions that made them think critically. You could really see the wheels turning in all the students’ heads and even my students who usually know the answers took a moment to think about it before attempting to answer it. The instructional segment also seemed to flow well and I walked about from the lesson knowing my directions were clear and the students fully understood what I expected. One assertion I think I can make is that its visible from my first day of student teaching to now you can see the improvement. Another teacher might interpret this moment similar to the way I view it. From observing the students seemed to enjoy the lesson and everyone in the class was actively participating. This event contributes directly to the general topic of classroom management. As a student teacher one fear I had was having inadequate skills in managing a classroom. I realize that effective classroom management takes time and are only acquired with practice, feedback, and a willingness to make and learn from your teaching mistakes. I learned from this moment how good classroom management allows for an atmosphere that not only enhances student learning but can limit the

  • Behaviorism Essay

    833 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to the video entitled Behaviorism: A general overview of behaviorist learning theory, this approach to learning rejects the emphasis on the conscious and unconscious mind and focuses on the observable behavior of the subject. The principle of the behaviorism theory is that there is a direct association between a stimulus and the response an individual makes, the change in an individual’s behavior indicates that learning has occurred, and that individuals are not born with disposition to act in particular ways (Ormrod, 2012). In classrooms where the behavioral technique is used, there are often behavior modification and token reward systems in place (Campana, 2011).

  • 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.

  • Musical Intelligence Reflection

    In reflection this learning experience was very effective not only for me but for every child in my class. This is because through some way or another my teacher had a way to appeal to our intelligences and learning styles. After researching thoroughly into intelligences it feels hard to self diagnose my strengths in different intelligences, however, due to the recall of the musical demonstration my teacher did I am inclined to feel that I affiliate quite strongly with the musical intelligence as well as the interpersonal intelligence as I really enjoyed working with others to figure out what spectroscopy was through lab work. From the perspective of a pre-service teacher I especially appreciate how the teacher taught the topic using technology
