Effective rules are essentially statements that outline the teacher’s expectations for students in order to provide a safe, secure, and effective learning environment. The rules provide specific guidelines for each student and create a sense of structure and routine in the learning environment. Additionally, it can aid students in being able to self-regulate behavior. It is important to be consistent when implementing rules into a classroom. Having effective rules should help prevent disruptive behavior. Contingent Instructions: Contingent instruction are instructions given to a student to decrease an undesired behavior and to engage in a more appropriate behavior. It addresses both inappropriate and appropriate behaviors, and are commonly …show more content…
In order for Heather to learn what is appropriate and inappropriate behavior, she must first be given a set of guidelines. These guidelines, or expectations, will serve as the standard for her behavior. Her teacher should remain consistent in applying the expectations in the class as well as individually to Heather. The classroom rules must be established and stated to Heather’s. There must also be stated consequences. This is important because students must not only know what the expected behavior is, but also what will happen if the expectations are not met. Heather 's teacher should model raising her hand and waiting to be called so Heather can see what the appropriate behavior looks like. Lastly, the teacher must be vigilant in monitoring Heather’s …show more content…
By giving Heather reprimands, the teacher could address the undesirable behavior (disruptions) and enforce the desired behavior (waiting for others to finish before she speaks). In order for Heather to achieve this goal, the teacher must be consistent and would preferably reprimand Heather quietly, because research has shown that students respond better to quiet reprimands. The reprimands should be immediate, positive, and specific, identifying both the undesired and desired behaviors. It is also important for the teacher to remain neutral and continually evaluate the strategy, along with being firm and resolute. Group contingency might be helpful for Heather completing independent work quietly because independent work time is a great time to use group contingency. The teacher could say that anyone who completes their work quietly could get a reward. The goal is set for the entire class, but only those who are quiet get the reward. Another possibility is that if Heather is able to attain the behavior, the teacher can give her the chance to earn 5 extra minutes of free time for her entire class by working on work quietly. The rewards in this should be more than just verbal
A role a child takes within the family home can explain the children’s behavior within an educational setting. Educators can provide children the opportunity to partake in different roles to further expand their learning. Rules exist at home and school for children to follow. It is imperative that as an educator you take time to explain in depth the rules of your classroom to children and the child’s family. As various results show that rules can be tied to culture, therefore, you want to ensure no rules within your classroom setting are creating conflict for the child or their family.

Ronald Morrish would encourage Miss Pearl to speak with Joshua privately and remind him of the rules of behavior, which may entail treating the teacher and peers with respect and courtesy, following directions, and doing the best that he can to learn. Morrish would advise Miss Pearl to utilize compliance training to help Joshua to understand the basics between right and wrong behavior and then teach him appropriate and inappropriate behavior in the classroom through explanation, demonstration, and guided practice. Furthermore, Morrish would advise Miss Pearl to insist that Joshua redo the misbehavior correctly. For example, when Joshua speaks to his teacher disrespectfully and sarcastically, she would be advised to have him redo it in a polite
Educators have the biggest influence on student’s beliefs and experiences. Every classroom should have a positive and social learning atmosphere (Classroom Management for Elementary Teachers, 1994). Setting rules and expectations the first day is very important. All procedures and behavior expectations will be clearly stated, and practiced. I will implement the traffic light to let students know how they are behaving. Green for excellent behavior, yellow for ok behavior red for unsatisfactory behavior. I will ask a student why think the issue is occurring. Then ask what should be done if it keeps occurring. Then send a letter home to the student parents (Zaus, 2010). If there is an improvement, I will give positive reinforcement to motivate the student have appropriate behavior (Classroom Management for Elementary Teachers,
In the 21st century, teachers experience many behavioral issues with students in the classroom and face challenges that are very difficult to resolve. School districts have different expectations about how students must behave during school and teachers have their own expectations about how students must behave in their classroom. Every educator has different classroom expectations and students must follow specific standards; therefore, the responsibility of the teacher is to discuss the standards with all students and make sure those expectations are clear. According to Jones and Jones (2016), teachers whose students made greater achievement gains were observed establishing rules and procedures, and carefully monitoring student’s work. In
There are different ways that a teacher can deal with a student’s undesirable behavior. Some of these strategies are: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment or extinction. The type of r...
The exclusionary rule is a legal doctrine in the United States supported and affirmed by the Constitution. It holds that any evidence that was searched illegally and that violates the rights of defendants cannot sometimes be used in a criminal prosecution. The exclusionary rule was created in order to protect three amendments of the constitution, the first is the Fourth Amendment, which protects against “unreasonable searches and seizures” and requires of a warrant and probable cause for the search to occur. The second, the Fifth Amendment that guarantees that no person shall be incriminated in any case and that cannot testify against themselves, it also states that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty
First, be sure to recognize the difference between reinforcement and punishment. To increase the desired behavior, reinforcement should be used. Punishment is used to decrease unwanted behaviors. Second, when an adult begins to use positive reinforcement and ignoring the inappropriate behavior, some students may begin to exhibit behavior that get worst. This abnormal behavior is referred to as “extinction burst”. The student is acting out in an effort to generate the reinforcement they use to get from the adult. Thirdly, teachers and adults should use positive reinforces that are attainable quickly and easily. Sometimes, food is not accessible and is not appropriate so positive phrases work well. Lastly, inappropriate behaviors should always be ignored, unless they are
When the whole classroom is too loud she stops talking waiting for them to calm down and sometimes she tells them that there is no such a thing as they are talking as she is. When the students are to work independently and the student is not doing his or her job, the student’s calls on them as well. Usually some kind of treat or actual punishment (for example, silent lunch) comes with it or the second
We have to deal not just with students who are messing around but also with students who are screaming at us or throwing objects at us.” ( Randy Jurado Ertll 2014)”. “But you do it because you have a passion for teaching and a commitment to serve as a role model for students”... ”Yet you don’t get much in return.

Mrs. Laners’ teaches first grade at Smallville Elementary School in Smallville, Ohio. Her class is made up of nineteen students, eight of which have been diagnosed with ADHD. In addition to ADHD one student has also been diagnosed as oppositionally defiant, meaning he does the opposite of what is being said to him. He is the only student to have his own desk; all other students have assigned seats along three long tables on one side of the classroom. There is no teacher assistant assigned to this classroom.
Teachers have a large responsibility especially when children are younger and more impressionable. They often look towards the teacher as a role model and authority figure, and because of this they often assume the actions of the teacher to be correct and acceptable. Therefore, teachers try to foster correct consciences in their students by being good examples themselves. When the teaching staff show respect for one another, or when teachers respect each of their students as individuals, they are able to instill in students a mutual respect for one another. For example, during recess, a little third grade girl, Susie pulls her friend's hair because her friend will not share her toy.
The most important rule that I believe in is that my classroom should be a place of learning. The best way to create this type of environment is to make sure that I am consistent with all students and that I make the students feel comfortable and relaxed. I believe that students learn more in a consistent relaxed atmosphere, because all students need to know that what’s wrong for one is wrong for all and what is right for one is right for all. I want my students to be comforted in the feeling that they are all on equal footing when they step into my classroom.
Teaching classroom rules and procedures will contribute to a safe and secure environment for students. Classroom rules should be the same for everyone, however, like I mentioned above there are exceptions to be made on an individual basis. All interactions within the classroom should be positive. There will be no teasing or harassing of any kind. Respect, trust, and understanding will be the foundation of classroom rules. It is important to keep an open mind and treat each student with fairness, with the hope that in return students will learn to treat each other as equals and with
Discipline plays a key part in education. Respect from your students will make the classroom a better atmosphere. Rules should be established on the first day. Rules should be a thoughtful process so they can be carried out to be affective, but logical consequences. We do not want the students self esteem to be damaged.
