Setting the Foundation
Many behavioral issues can be avoided through a carefully created classroom environment.

• Shows emotional weakness in teacher• Lowers student respect and affection for
teacher• Creates atmosphere of insecurity in
students• Students try to find security in taking
control• Actually gives students sense of power
over teacher
![Page 8: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Amplifies student feelings of hostility and rebellion• Classroom becomes “us verses
teacher”• All of this amplifies stress of
teacher and students alike
(Mr. Rosto/Mr. Daum)
![Page 9: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2. Care
Make sure you care and show you care about the students.

Do people exist for the sake of products, or products for the sake of
people?
![Page 11: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Students are primary, knowledge secondary
• In keeping concern for students primary, learning will happen more easily.
• Imitation (Bandura’s Bobo)
• Genuine response
(Mr. B/Mr. Odhner)
![Page 12: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• How to show you care:1. Smile2. Greet3. Handshake4. Respect
![Page 13: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• PRAISE OFTEN• Effort• Obedience• Orderliness• Progress
• Kindness• Helpfulness• Social• Excellence
Do you get praised at work?(Dr. D’Andrea; Dr. Mahadavi)
![Page 14: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Consistency1. Set and express clear rules and
limits 2. Set and express clear consequences
for infractions3. Post rules and limits in classroom4. Have a clearly defined warning
system
![Page 15: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• When a consequence is required, explain to student very clearly why
• Give consequences for misbehavior consistently according to the pre-set rules and consequences
• Give consequences immediately after misbehavior
• Treat all students in the same way
(Mr. A; Mrs. Steppon; Ms. Murr)
![Page 16: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Lack of consistency in inescapable punishment can result in learned helplessness . (Seligman and Maier; 1967)
Inconsistent punishment leads to entrenched behavior, resistant to extinction (By Deur, Jan L.; Parke, Ross)
Inconsistent reward, however, can lead to increased and consistent good behaviors that continue in the absence of reward.
(So random punishment is bad, random reward is valuable)
![Page 17: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In a big school…
• Randomized homework check
• Random class reward for good class work/behavior
• Random public individual reward for good work/behavior
![Page 18: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Permissive
• Lack of discipline
• Students misbehave with little intervention
• Leads to increasing disruption in classroom
• Learning minimal
![Page 20: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Results in…
• Disregard and disrespect for teacher• Well-behaved students upset, may join
disruption• Carry over into future• Cliques and bullying to fill authority vacuum• Insecurity• Momentum difficult to stop• Learned helplessness
(K.R.; Ms. Freel)
![Page 21: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Understanding Students
• Behavior does not arise out of a vacuum
• We all are the composite of our upbringing,
genetics, social influences, cultural norms
etc.
• When you look at a student you are looking
at an entire society.(Charlie; Phil D)
![Page 28: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

![Page 29: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Changing Body
• Brain development
– “Adolescent brain is psychotic”
• Because of body and knowledge
developments, adolescents believe they are
fully mentally mature, but are not
![Page 30: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Understanding Students cont.• Many misbehaving students have a problem
that is outside their immediate control– A physiological issue such as ADHD, LD, PDD or a
mood disorder– Family problems– Poverty– Poor parenting at home– Lack of social skills, poor or no friends– Cultural issues such as being of a low caste or
minority(Priyata)
![Page 31: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Understanding and caring does not mean leniency, permissiveness
![Page 32: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Classroom Management Skills
![Page 33: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Class-wide Techniques
1. Marbles in a Jar:– Good class b’vior, marbles in; poor b’vior,
marbles out.– Full Jar = Reward (Positive Reinforcement)
• Remember to somewhat randomize reward schedule
![Page 34: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Leads to…
• Creates sense of team
• Creates sense of pride
• Creates sense of responsibility
• Creates sense of agency
• Promotes desired behavior
![Page 35: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Class-wide Techniques cont.• Train class in a call-response after which they
know to be silent; e.g.
– Teacher:“One, two, three, eyes on me!”
– Class: “One, two, eyes on you!”
– Teacher: “Don’t talk to teacher; Don’t talk to
friends”
– Class: “Now is the time for si-lence.”
![Page 36: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Leads to…•Makes quieting down into a fun game.
(Operant: Positive Reinforcement)
• Ritual enforces compliance (Classical
Conditioning)•Whole class speaking in unison greatly
raises chances of compliance—the whole class is in effect agreeing to be quiet. (Social Conformity)
![Page 37: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
On the Spot Steps for Compliance
Progressive steps to obtain compliance:
1. Proximity
2. Eye contact
3. State required activity (do not request)
![Page 38: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
4. Hand on shoulder5. Allow seven seconds, then state again
with consequence explained for failure to comply
6. Allow seven seconds and then implement consequence
![Page 39: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
How is this effective?
• Reveals teacher’s self-discipline—not shouting
• Reveals teacher to be powerful--can enforce expectations
• Reveals teacher means business—not just words, but body is involved
• Other students will take note of actions
![Page 40: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Individualized In-Class Motivation
• Climb a Tree / Hot Air Balloon.
![Page 41: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Positive Reinforcement (Going Up)
• Negative Reinforcement (Going Down)
• Positive Reinforcement (Reward)
• Positive Reinforcement (Esteem)
• Positive Reinforcement (Pride)
![Page 42: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• In St. Xavier’s many student in each classroom, making this intervention difficult. An options is if you don’t have to reprimand a student in a day, the name goes up.
![Page 43: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Out of Class CounselingStrategies
![Page 44: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
STEP ONE: ESTABLISH RAPPORT
![Page 45: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
1. Rapport. Without rapport, even excellent interventions will not work.
Rapport is a relationship intentionally developed by the counselor in which the student feels safe with the counselor, trust in the counselor, understood and a sense of positive connection.
![Page 46: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• More so than in clinical settings, rapid behavioral change is expected in schools and contact time with the client (student) is less, so building rapport quickly is vital.
![Page 47: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• To build rapport rapidly:
–Play doodle game
–Play rock, paper scissors
–Play guessing games
–Ask about/discuss interests, games TV, movies,
food etc
![Page 48: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
How to Build Rapport cont.
–Share related stories–Get the students laughing–Be genuine (about who you are and
that you care for both student and school)–Be ally, not school’s enforcer, yet be
clear about objectives –Give a small candy after sessions
![Page 49: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
• Listen
• Neutrality
• Reserve disbelief
• Show other sides
• Remind of school expectations
• Offer to talk to teacher
Handling Problematic Students without breaching rapport
![Page 50: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
STEP TWO: ESTABLISH GOOD, ONGOING
RELATIONSHIP WITH PARENTS
![Page 51: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
• Have initial and ongoing meetings
• Consider home consequences
• Assess each case
• “Busy Book”/ “Communication Book”
• Avoid “my bad book” with pictures etc.
• Family coaching at times
![Page 52: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
STEP THREE:USE A BEHAVIOR CHART
![Page 53: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Make a self-monitoring chart like this
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
B’fore Break 3 1
After Break 2 2
After Lunch 2 1
Teach Sig. Mr. Rogers
The goal is that students begin thinking about, monitoring and altering own behavior. For any ratings of one, review incident with the ABC’s (see below).
![Page 54: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
STEP FOUR: USE THE ABC’S OF BEHAVIORISM
![Page 55: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
1. Antecedent
2. Behavior
3. Consequence
![Page 56: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Investigate Antecedents
Antecedents include:
•Emotional state (e.g. grumpy, excited)
•Biological state (e.g. hungry, tired)
•General env’ment (rowdy; Mrs. Thapa’s class)
•Specific triggers (Anil tapped me with pencil)
•Behavioral indicators (clenched teeth, fists, etc)
![Page 57: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Review Behavior
–Behavior: “I hit Anil”
• Helps form mental associations• Helps self-awareness• Helps develop self honesty
![Page 58: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Review Consequences–Consequence include
• Social: friend mad, other students look down
• Disciplinary: had to see the principal
• Home: Dad and Mom got mad, grounded me
• Emotional: Felt guilty, angry
• Reputational: Teachers think I’m bad
• Self-perception: Feel like I’m no good
![Page 59: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
STEP FIVE:BRAINSTORM
![Page 60: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
• Brainstorm for alternative behavioral responses
• Have student select a repertoire of new behavioral choices from the list.
![Page 61: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
STEP FIVE:ROLE-MODEL AND REHEARSAL
![Page 62: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
• Recent• Act out as occurred.• Reverse roles and repeat • With roles still reversed, act out new• Repeat in opposite roles• Repeat this final step several times.
![Page 63: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Rehearse four steps of moving through upset
• Identify trigger
• “Life’s not fair” (deep breath)
• “I Forgive and move on”
• Apologize if required
![Page 64: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
STEP SIX:ESTABLISH REWARDS AND
CONSEQUENCES
![Page 65: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
• Most people find intrinsic reward in doing well and in getting along, but students with behavioral issues need extra incentive.
• Find rewards for good behavior (a score of seven or higher per day on the chart) that are meaningful to student but not excessive.
![Page 66: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
•Find consequences for poor behavior (any incident warranting a “1”) that is meaning- ful proportionate and quickly implementable.
•Decide if it is best for teacher to reward/give negative consequence, counselor or a combination
![Page 67: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Rewards and Punishments should be:1. Proportionate to behavior2. Meaningful to the student3. Have reference to the behavior issue if possible4. Implemented immediately or as soon as
possible5. Punishments should be implemented
consistently6. Decided upon with student’s input7. Delivered without display of emotion
![Page 68: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
STEP SEVEN:ASSESS, ADAPT, PHASE OUT
![Page 69: Behavior Management in Schools](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55c48015bb61eb3f498b46c3/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
• Assess progress regularly• Adapt treatment plan if progress is
absent• If progress has been achieved, phase
out rewards so that behavior is maintained in the absence of concrete rewards
