When I was subbing, if the teacher didn't provide me a seating chart, I would make a seating chart and then tell the kids I was going to use it to take roll, so if they weren't in their assigned seat they would be marked absent. This helped a lot in being able to put a name to a student. There's (Free) seating chart generating software out there that makes it really fast and easy.

I love the individual behavior plan. I haven’t worked in 10 years, but I remember how it worked. I would conference with the students and we would put 1-3 goals for the student to work on. Then to check for understanding I’d ask the student to show me the undesired behavior. Then I would explain why that behavior was problematic and ask the student to shoe me the correct behavior. If he didn’t know, I’d tell him and demonstrate. I’d make a graph with days of the week at top. On the side I put time frames. 2 hours was the longest I put. Then I had a coloring sheet that had the same number of objects to color as the number of time frames. So if we were doing math that would be a 90 minute time frame. I’d usually give 1 warning that this was not the correct behavior. At the end of the 90 minutes I’d meet with the student and I’d ask him to tell me if he met each goal one at a time. If not I put an X in the box for that time frame and I’d X one of the coloring pictures. Next time frame ended we’d conference. He had met the goal this time so he got to color one of the pictures and he got a sticker in his time frame box. Once he earned 5 stickers he could get a pencil. I know it sounds like a lot but once you get the hang of it it’s not bad. Plus this got positive results from every student that had one. They still had issues. There would be time frames where they wouldn’t meet the goal. In those cases I just made sure they knew why they didn’t get the sticker and I’d have them tell me what their mistake was and how to fix it. Then I’d remind them that no one is perfect. We all make mistakes. We’ll just do better next time. Their behavior would improve. They still misbehaved sometimes but it was better than before.

Thank you for this video. It is confirmation that I am doing the right things. This is my 23rd year in teaching and I KNOW the right things to do and say. I also practice and model them. It is easier when it's just a few kids in the class However, this year has been tougher than EVER. I teach 2nd grade and with no exaggeration, out of my 21 kids it is he majority of them who are struggling. I know one of the MAIN reasons is that all of them came in at a KDG. Level. When we think of the affect the pandemic has had, 2nd grade truly struggles. Simply getting used to being in a classroom is a challenge even in APRIL. It is simply exhausting. However, I am a confident teacher and again appreciate your video for confirming that I am doing the right things and simply need to keep doing it.

This is an excellent video with excellent classroom management advice. I agree with you about the importance of understanding the root of the problem. Understanding the root of the problem can help solve, fix, etc the problem. I believe great classroom management is knowing what to ignore, knowing what to address, having engaging lesson plans, using preventive strategies to help prevent poor behavior from occurring in the classroom, using positive reinforcement, handling poor behavior issues in appropriate ways, understanding the root of the behavior issue, being consistent, and calling the office in severe behavior situations such as fighting, throwing binders across the room, being cussed out, being threatened, etc and last resort situations such as a student continuing to be disruptive in class disrupting the learning environment after doing everything possible in the classroom to control the disruptive behavior. Keep up the great work with your videos. I wish you the best.

I am subbing longtime. I saw very few teachers, very few that don't raise their voice in classroom. And classroom behavior was awesome. They were interacting, doing work queitly. I don't know how they do it. Otherwise, teachers are yelling, shouting out, just to make them quite.

I used to raise my voice a lot to quiet my students, until I got tired of losing my voice and feeling frustrated. I personally made a decision stop yelling and start being strategic.

I believe that's how teachers can experience great classroom behavior without losing their voices :)

I’m struggling to come up with alternative behaviors for two boys who talk, blurt out, and laugh throughout my lessons. They are not talking to each other but blurting out to the whole class in general. One is definitely doing it for attention. Perhaps both. Reminders, talking with them privately and contacting parents have had little to no effect so far. I’ll look for ways for them to get more appropriate attention specifically from their peers. I’d love ideas! Thanks for the tips. 35 year teacher - Always looking for ways to improve and grow. (Music teacher)

Hi , If one of your students is doing the blurt outs for attention, ask yourself what are other ways the student can get attention with the same behavior (talking loudly). Maybe he can announce the agenda for the class period at the beginning of the class, or call role call. Then contingency is he has to save his call out (talking for his job.. announcer/role call). Another strategy suggestion is to use a red card or post it (btw, can be any color other than white) and when the student wants to say something (blurt out), they can put the colored card or post it on the table or hold it up to notify you that they have a thought to share. Try to call on them in seconds. Let them know you will only call on them if they don't blurt out. Finally, give them a class consequence for the blurt out - loss of points, owed time, etc. If your school is against giving consequences. Do pivot points. When the boys blurt, ignore the blurting and give students around them points for not blurting.

Students who are like this, actually need more attention than others. Position him in the classroom so that he is near you and give special attention. They are usually disruptive and destructive if they are afraid that they will fail task. If he is given more attention with every task and feels that someone is supporting him while learning all the tasks, he will eventually develop confidence and eventually the ability to do things independently. When he does something destructive, instead of commenting on the disruptive behaviour, instead do the task with him, or if you have can, assign a support worker to help him. It is very frustrating for students to verbalise their inability to interact and do new things well. This causes frustration and is expressed in behaviours that are negative, just as adults do when we don't know why they feel disturbed. Fear is the main reason.

For students who want a large amount of attention, I try to find ways for them to get a combination of natural and intentional attention throughout the school day. A few suggestions are to give the student a job where he can be a helper so he gets attention from you, other staff and his peers. Have unofficial check in times where you or another staff positions themselves to give him attention through 1:1 or small group conversation, doing an activity with the student or that student's group, sitting nearby to verbal praise for positive behaviors. I would also give verbal praise and/or attention when the student demonstrates nice hands or other positive social behaviors, then limit the attention when he does not.

If he/she can answer that, that will be your focus. If the teacher does not know, think "what would be most helpful to this teacher in this moment (consider the current activity) and do that, until the teacher gives you different directions.

I respectfully disagree with you. The strategies I talk about in this video were cultivated, tested, and maintained in classrooms with students who would be considered "hard, cold, and come from homes that don't teach respect or obedience". The fact that many students tell their teachers "you can't make me " or "what you gonna do about it" have no bearing on these strategies. A student who does not want to initially change their behavior is going to say whatever they need to say to get a teacher to back off. I know it's frustrating, wrong and unfair. Students these days are so different from how they used to be, but frankly, so is our society. And our kids are a reflection of this change. These kids are not awful, they are lacking skills, structure and/or support and their misbehavior is showing just how much they need of all of these things. I hope things improve for your daughter.

Жыл бұрын

I know this may not seem fair to some, but I would probably use a class contingency reward and consequence strategy/intervention related to this behavior. My rationale would be this- because the students have chosen to "hide" in the class community. Their behavior will have an impact on their class community. (BTW, very similar to adult life) This behavior is unacceptable, it cannot be allowed to continue. Therefore the class, as a whole, can receive a targeted reward or consequence for a specific amount of days or weeks (or longer) without the noises. Token rewards (marbles, cotton ball, etc) can lead to a larger class reward (choice time, homework free day , popcorn party, etc) The peer pressure from the class may end that behavior. I would try that first. I might also try a report box (would probably give it a cooler name) and give students an opportunity to report this specific behavior. But to make it a safe place I would have every student add something to the report box. They could report something positive and/or negative. Then if I got any names I would pay special attention to those students. Prior to the report box (just thought of a name -community care), I would teach the difference between snitching and reporting /caring so that the class has a better understanding and is on the same page. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions:)

Another idea is to create an enrichment project he can do that occupies all his senses or favorite things/skills, he can earn with academic and classroom desired behaviors. BTW, this is assuming you have had a 1:1 conference with him and given some alternatives to his acting out/disruptive behaviors.

First, I would look into the why behind the behavior. Is it for attention, avoidance, power/control, energy release, lack of coping skills, sensory? Once you know that, then give the student a replacement behavior based on the need. I would also take a look at when this behavior occurs and what pay off is the student getting. It sounds like it may be attention, so ask what are other ways the student can get attention in your class. Try to find something physical, since he is doing something physical. A daily activity that lets him walk around the classroom - paper passer, errands runner, then give him verbal praise or attention for a doing the job/activity well. You can also give him scheduled movement breaks throughout the day so he does not have to climb the furniture. If you notice a pattern around the times of the climbing behavior, that is when you use breaks or activity paired with attention (i.e verbal praise, points, etc). If Covid guidelines prohibit that maybe you can get assistance from other staff, especially if safety is an issue.

Great question, Tapati. I suggest that you teach your students to raise their hands and WAIT to be called. This may take a few days since they are in the habit of calling out. Explain to them that you will NOT call on them unless their hand is raised and their voice level is on silent. Make sure you follow through by politely ignoring students who are callling out AND calling on studnets who are raising and waiting. However, the minute a student raise their hand and wait quietly (you may have to prompt them), call on the student to show that raising hands and waiting works. To manage their lack of patience, you can reassure students that you see their hand and will get to them in a moment, but also teach that their are times when they may not get called in the moment due to time limits. Hope this helps:)

The first thing I would do is look at the patterns surrounding the fights (i.e. time of day, what period, location of fighting students, how the fight starts, how the fight ends). Usually if it is in repeat mode, you will see some commonalties. Then I would use strategies to make them less common (such as keep them separate, address the feud, counteract what they are getting out of it). Other strategies are conflict mediation, student contracts, recognizing the trigger & interrupting it, teaching alternate coping skills (i.e. when someone makes me mad...) and targeted consequences :) Erica, if you have more specific questions, email me at michele@feedtheirneeds.com

I have 3 students who consistently interrupt teachers when they are carrying on the lesson. Even after being spoken to, given detention, involving parents, they continue to do it. I'm really unsure about what to do next. Any tips?

Hi Jay_lu ! Sure! (1) Look at the patterns surrounding this behavior (when, where, how often) (2) Use the pattern data to develop an educated guess for the WHY (i.e.habit, attention, avoidance, power, etc) (3) Brainstorm a replacement behavior that meets the same need. (i.e., exchange the habit for a new one, what’s another way student can gain appropriate attention or power, for avoidance - preapproved breaks?) (3) Teach replacement behavior to student and allow student to practice replacement behavior in class (4) Assess results :)

Hi. I’m not sure if you can help with this question but I’ve been taking notes. I have a 7 year old boy in my K-2nd grade class. It’s me and 2 TAs with 10 children. This child throws chairs at us and hits us if I talk to the class or a parent. I was told he does each teacher that class gets. I was talking to a parent one day and he threw a chair at me. He is about 4ft1 and maybe 100 or or 125 pounds. Hes big and strong. It’s all day. I can be teaching and he will just punch me because I’m not talking directly to him. I moved his desk away from the children for their safety. But he pushes tables, throws chairs. I’ve tried hugs , redirected him, asking him to make good choices. We’ve tried everything under the sun. I went home one day feeling beat up. Shen busted, side hurt, arm bruised. Please do you have any suggestions. I’m afraid this child is going to hurt one of us. I can feel it strongly, Admin knows. EC is not really a focus of the school. Admin has never even came to check on us. These kids are not even in one picture on the school Facebook photos, and we have nothing for them but 4 tables and a smart board. So I really need help how to help this child to keep him and everyone safe. I never been hit with a chair. It hurt really bad. Please help.

Hi, if this is still a problem, please send me an email :)

What can be done if a child thinks it is a good idea to pour sand from the sand table to the floor? What kind of redirection can I do? Also sometimes there is poking while waiting in line to wash hands after coming in from the playground. How can this behavior be redirected?

Great question, Vidhi. I'm not sure of the age of the student, but I would review the sand table rules or expectations prior to the student using it for 3-5 days. The student can repeat after you or lead the expectation review. You can also review with the whole class or small group if you don't want to single the student out. Redirection can sound like: "Sand stays in/on the table. Thank you. " or "Inside, only". If it's pre-k you may need to use a pointing gesture in addition to the voice command. If the Pre-K student tries to dump on the floor while you are present, block the cup, then point inside and use the redirection phrases listed above. Hope this helps:)

@@FeedTheirNeeds Thank you for your reply! It surely helps! I was wondering what can be done to redirect the behavior of kids that poke while waiting in a line to wash hands after outdoor play. It is for Pre-K and Kindergarten kids.

Have the child who is poking move to the back of the line each time or have the child stand next to you while holding your hand while waiting or have the child sit in a chair at a table until it's his/her turn to wash .
