A. Disruptive Student Behavior
In scenario 1, it appears one of the students named George is having a problem controlling his anger. He is striking at the other students and his teacher. As a teacher this kind of behavior can be very disruptive. When other children are seeing this type of conduct, it causes them to be distracted. George throwing books and papers on the floor can cause a huge delay in the classroom. Also, another way this can affect the learning environment is that most children love attention. When students see disruptive students getting all the attention, it can make them want to be disruptive. “Peers tend to have a significant influence over each other, and if one student is disruptive, it may encourage similar behavior

Many students take their frustration out in diverse ways. Some students may sit in complete silence. Some students may write or draw there frustration out on paper. George is a student who expresses his anger out. He expressed his anger by throwing things. Maybe George is having a tough time understanding math. He tries to solve the problem repeatedly, but it just does not click in his brain. When George sees other students understanding the lessons, it hurts him. It hurts George because he cannot understand. Most students do not like to be embarrassed in front of others. Maybe George is embarrassed by something. He could possibly be so ashamed that he just lashes out at other people. As a teacher, it is important to try to understand what is deeply wrong with George. It would be imperative to speak with George’s parents to try to understand more personal things about George and why it is impacting on his disruptive …show more content…
She likes to wander around the room which distract other students. The best way to keep her focused is to use a technology that would catch her attention. Tablets are a fantastic way for students to use current technology. Children love to play interactive games while using a tablet or iPad. As a teacher, it would be great to have a computer or tablet area in the classroom. Students can use the tablets to play interactive games about their lesson. This helps the students learn more about a lesson more clearly. “Playing is not all about distraction and procrastination, games can really inspire creativity and out-of-the-box thinking” (Winstead, 2017). Using tablets is another terrific way to express a certain lesson for students like Liz to learn in a better
George disrupts the class by conversing with other and not raising his hand. This behavior is prominent form the beginning of the day to the end. He constantly disrupts the class by shouting out at inappropriate times. This lack of self-control causes a halt in the lesson. The teacher typically relies on the classroom aide to resolve the issue, but his behavior is only corrected for five minutes. If George doesn’t have a 1:1 approach, he is unable to complete any of his work and inevitably gets himself into

Watching Nick in the classroom allowed me to observe his social interactions, how he handles himself when he is working alone, how he handles working while interacting and how he contributes in class. The class’s first assignment was to find a quiet place and read silently for fifteen minutes. Nick sat alone and couldn’t sit still. This was a warning sign for me because he was the only student that could not sit still. Another red flag came up when I started watching Nick closer while he wandered. He was constantly asking classmates and the teacher questions during a task that should not have required questions. An additional issue came up when he attempted to put his book away. He was trying to push it into an area that was too small. He was not able to understand that in order to put his books back he was going to have to move some other things around. Instead he proceeded to make a small mess and a frustrated classmate helped him fix

This particular class period consisted of around 3 students, but one student was working particularly just by himself with his teachers aid. Even before it started Ms.Metcalf classroom energy felt a bit off, and come to find out that during lunch one of the students had been teasing the other student. The student that had also been causing trouble had out of nowhere stolen paper clips off of Ms.Metcalf. The other student was not able to stay on task, because he still felt upset from the incident that occurred during lunch. This soon became more of a discipline class rather than the student learning about math, and apparently the "bully" had created pointer with the paper clips that could have actually hurt someone. Soon after Ms. Metcalf had to call the assistant principles to step in to discipline the student, and lost a entire day of instructions due to one student misbehavior. After the misbehaving student had left she went over to the emotional distraught student and began discussing that he should never let people 's words if they weren 't nice and that entire lesson became a lesson on
”Books will soon be obsolete in the schools...Scholars will soon be instructed through the eye. It is possible to touch every branch of human knowledge with the motion picture” (Thomas Edison). An idea that was destined for failure has now been made into the key source to get students and teachers more interacted while in a classroom setting. Tablets such as the iPad and the Microsoft surface have made this idea possible, showing students that there is another alternative to the traditional method which would be a printed version of the textbook. Tablets are portable computers that use a touchscreen as its primary input device, meaning that both keyboard and mouse are both physically located on the screen. Early Tablets were built to be used with a pen, today however tablets can be used with just one finger or multiple fingers with the support of multi touch input. Tablet have had a positive input on society especially students in school that are looking to get their work done in an engaging way and, not by moving a pen or pencil like it’s been done for decades. Tablets have proven to be the better tool for learning among students.
Samuel displays challenging behaviour in the three different scenarios. In the scenario 1, Samuel displayed destructive behaviour where he pushes May so he can be first in the line (appendix 1). Ref. The action of Samuel impacted May when he pushed her as she cried. Hurting someone when need something. The educator told Samuel that it is not nice to push and told him to go at the end of the line (appendix 1). Samuel’s behaviour in the scenario 2 was disruptive as he refuses to follow reasonable direction from his teacher (appendix 2). The way that Samuel was acting affected his peers’ learning as he was disturbing the teacher from the group activity. The educator praised Samuel as a strategy when he came out behind the bookshelf. In the scenario

HYPOTHESIS STATEMENT Sometimes, when preferred staffs are preoccupied with other participants doing activities at the day program and attention is not directly given to Tyrone, Tyrone engages in aggressive behaviours which includes throwing furniture’s or objects to the floor. This is most likely to happen when Tyrone lacks one-one attention from staff at the day program. BEHAVIOUR CHANGE GOALS REDUCTION OF PROBLEM BEHAVIOUR Tyrone would throw furniture’s
For example a boy in my class walked into first period late. Not only was he late, he made a big scene out of it by yelling out to his friends while the teacher was trying to explain something to the class. When the teacher asked him to sit down and take out his pencil to work, he didn’t even have a pencil. So he started asking everyone around him, loudly, for a pencil, disturbing the entire class while they’re trying to work. After, although he still had failed to obtain a pencil, he began talking to his friends, interrupting the whole class AGAIN!
It can cause many distractions, it can be difficult to use and can take away from learning time. People are convinced that technology is an effective tool that will further learning. This can be true, but when you use tablets and different devices in class for an hour every day, the students will not be focused on schoolwork. In the article “Technology in the Classroom: Beginnings and Endings”, Mary Ann Matras suggests that, “The pencil is still the most efficient tool”.
Interviews are also a good idea. Conducting formal interviews with family is very important; they can add important background information and insights. It is also very important to interview former teachers and most of the entire child themself. Three common challenging behaviors that a teacher may see are talking out of turn, classroom work avoidance, and aggression such as hitting and/or kicking. In my opinion talking out of turn and showing aggression are behaviors that usually serve the function to get attention, either from teacher or from other students.
Dreikurs’ model relies on the idea that “a misbehaving child is only a discouraged child trying to find his place” (Jones & Jones, 2013, p. 33). When a student is feeling inadequate, they will filter through some or all of the four attention-getting behaviors. These disruptive behaviors are: attention getting, power, revenge, and displays of inadequacy. Dreikurs believed that when a child fails to feel as though he or she belongs, they will “act out” in various ways in order to gain acceptable. Sometimes these behaviors work, and other times, students are left feeling more frustrated. For example, a student who may fall behind in class may use inappropriate jokes or commentary to solicit respect from classmates. The student may then try exhibiting power over the administrator in the classroom further trying to increase their status in the social climate. If the student does not receive the attention they seek, they may try to seek revenge on the teacher or even other students in the classroom. In many cases, the disgruntled student gives up entirely and will revert to using phrases such as, “I don’t care anyway,” or “I meant to do that.” Instead of being instructed on how to cope effectively with their emotions, students default into primitive fight or flight strategies. Because of a student’s inability to feel socially equa...
Likewise as cited by Castle (2011), children with elevated uttering behaviors are more likely to engage in forms of non-academic actions (e.g., aggression, impulsivity, hyperactivity, talking, arguing, and rule-breaking) that interfere with learning in the classroom (Abikoff et al., 2002; Junod et al., 2006).
