People with behavior problems can be difficult to work with in all situations - at home, at work, or on a sports team. The classroom, however, seems to be especially problematic for people who have behavioral problems. Many students with behavioral disorders, contrary to popular belief, struggle academically; they are not simply bright students who are too bored to sit still and pay attention. To teach these kids, you need to take into account their need for structure and accountability, while still building up their self concepts.
Instructions
- 1
Define your expectations beforehand, making sure that the kids understand the types of misbehavior that will not be tolerated in the classroom, such as physical aggression, damage of property, and verbally abusive behavior.
2Work together with students to create a list of rules. If the students have a part in the rule-making process, they are more likely to follow the rules. Make sure that your rules are as objective as possible and that there are not too many of them. Possible rules may include speaking respectfully to others at all time, keeping your hands off of other people's belongings without permissions, and using alternatives to physical aggression when angry.
3Prevent behavioral problems before they start as much as possible. To do this, give students meaningful learning experiences, try to stay as fair as you can, build on students' positive attributes to promote self confidence, and model positive actions.
4Teach students how to reduce target problem behaviors through direct instruction. In this direct instruction, include several different ways to react to a trigger that usually causes problem behavior. Possible reactions may include calming techniques, taking a time out, or replacing a negative action with a positive one. For example, you might suggest that a student say "That just made me so angry!" and walk to a "safe space" in the back corner of the room, rather than acting with aggression.
5Praise students with behavior problems as much as possible. Praise should outweigh disciplinary actions.
6React consistantly to students who break the rules. When you do so, remind students of the exact rule and the consequence that you are reinforcing.
