CONSEQUENCES OF BEHAVIOR
All behavior has consequences
Some consequences are obvious while others
are subtle
In some cases, outcomes bear no similarity to
that which we intended (e.g. the teacher shouts
to keep the noise level down, which only serves
to excite the students further and raise the
noise level of the classroom.)

CONSEQUENCES OF BEHAVIOR
A knowledge of group psychology is important
In order to ensure that intended outcomes are
achieved, the teacher should at all times model
the types of behaviors he/she wants to develop
You must be thechange you want tosee in the world

CONSEQUENCES OF BEHAVIOR
Children must learn that dysfunctional
behaviors will lead to disciplinary consequences
Teachers can help students to learn the natural
consequences of their behaviors e.g. if a task isnot completed during class-time, they may have
to use their recess to complete it
Detention can be used as an opportunity to
complete unfinished assignments
Can you think of some other examples?

CONSEQUENCES OF BEHAVIOR
Things to remember
At all times, consequences and restitutions
should be relayed to students in a respectful
and calm manner.
Refrain from dramatic displays of anger and
attempts to humiliate the student publicly.
When the student has complied with theteachers requirements, there should be no
further reference to the issue.
Remember..a little forgiveness makes life a lot morebearable, doesnt it?

Correcting student misbehavior is mandatory.
Give all corrections in close proximity, with eyecontact and a quiet but firm voice.
Give corrections immediately following the
disruptive behavior. Corrective statements must emphasise the
positive intended outcomes e.g. you need tostoptalking instead ofyou are too noisy.
Learn to provide positive feedback whenstudents respond appropriately. (well done!,
good response! etc)
