Common Behaviors in Young Children Three of the most common behaviors in young children that the teacher might consider for modification or replacement include: Talking to friends or doing activities when the teacher is asking to pay attention. The student neglects this request for attention and directs his actions towards other activities that he knows will be observed by the teacher, this is a form of requesting attention
The policies include guidance: Behaviour policy :( Promoting appropriate behaviour in the children and discouraging inappropriate behaviour) The school’s behaviour policy is very important because this policy gives guidelines to all members of staff how they can manage children behaviour. In my setting there is a code of conduct policy help to manage the children’s behaviour effectively and in a manner appropriate to their stage of development and their individual needs and make sure staff and children keep calm when dealing with inappropriate behaviour. In my setting class teacher ensure that both sides of the story are heard and dealt with consistently. . Navneet Kaur (Neetu) Identify transitions that only some children and young people may experience e.g.
Establish constructive relationships with parents/carers. Ensure you give regular feedback to teachers on children's achievement, progress, problems etc. promote good behaviour, dealing appropriately with conflict and incidents in line with policy and procedures and encourage children to take responsibility for there own behaviour. Accompanying the children on school trips and out of school activities as required Provide clerical/admin support such as photocopying, typing, filing, money etc. Undertake children's record keeping as requested.
Regardless of our efforts as teachers to create a contributory classroom environment, to help students to learn in a class where all learners are actively engaged in productive activities and feel psychologically safe, some students will sometimes engage in undesirable behavior who may interfere with our teaching and the student learning. Problem behavior or misbehavior is any action that can obstruct learning or put the physiological safety of the students and his peers in danger. (Ormrod, n.d) Learners’ behavior problem such as rudeness to the instructor, talking out of turn, furthermore annoying classmates etc.… varies from minor disruption that can be ignored to a major one, that is more serious, as they for sure interfere with our learning
Through observation, we can learn what the child can do, what the child likes or dislikes, how the child behaves under various circumstances and how the child interacts with people. Collecting data and measuring student behavior in a formal manner is an especially important aspect of effective teaching for the following reasons: Identifying Current Level of Performance Observing behavior helps to pinpoint where the child currently is on instructional objectives. Teachers often measure children's behavior before they provide instruction. This is called baseline data. Baseline data helps the teacher decide how far the child is from where he or she should be.
Knowing that they are different ways in which a child can learn a teacher should try to incorporate each style within there lesson plan so no child is left out. A teacher will usually lean toward teaching the students in their preference style of learning. Meaning for a teacher who is more of a hands on learner he or she will have more hands on activities but a teacher should learn to use the three most effective styles of learning which are, visual learners, kinesthetic learners and auditory learners. Understanding the different ways in which a child learns is the first step in creating and implementing a curriculum that accomplish all the goals it’s designed for. As an educator it’s important to make sure that all the T’s are crossed to insure that each child gained something as they walk away.
Encouragement is also important during all aspects of school life such as during lessons, their work, forming friendships and finding new things because this will help the children to try new things and to progress and move forward with their development and education. Secondary Schools- During this period of time in a child’s life it is important we do not intimidate or talk down to the child as this can really knock a child’s confidence, self esteem and could affect their professional relationship with the teaching assistant. Boundaries should be in place so children should know what is expected
• Allows teachers to focus on learning instead of discipline. • This takes away from teaching time because you are preparing rules and procedures. Kagan, Kyle, and Scott's "Win-Win Discipline" • It helps bring out the potential of the students even through disciplining them. • It is very clear for expectations that are passed to the students. • It stresses the importance of using the classroom to help the students overcome negative attitudes.
Another example would be hand signals, each teacher has one he or she prefer to use, it may be the peace sign or a finger pressed to their mouth, either one is understood by the children even when used without a verbal message. When a parent is discussing poor behavior and their consequences for those actions with his or her child, he or she will use a stern tone. In all of these examples demonstrative communication reinforces the sender’s message, in the example of the teacher using soft tones or hand signals sent the message to her class to
Not only that, but we all have different types of learning styles and to be able to gain as much of our education as possible we must think about which will have a negative impact on this. Both scenarios offer the same outcome, but there are positives and negatives to each choice. Attending a traditional classroom gives you the chance to have a face to face interaction with other students. This is how study groups, friendships, and a teacher to student relationship is formed. You must have some interaction with your fellow classmates and teachers in case you need help, have questions, or just do not understand the topic you can just ask.
