1. Briefly describe three of the benefits of implementing comprehensive classroom behavior management. a. The use of comprehensive classroom behavior management has numerous advantages. Putting behavior management in the classroom into practice establishes a classroom environment that is integrated, well-organized, consistent, and sensitive to cultural differences in order to facilitate efficient instruction and advance student learning. Maintaining constant interaction and communication with students is also beneficial. 2. Using your own words, explain the meaning of “cultural gaps” and describe two culturally sustaining practices teachers can use to address them. a. A cultural gap is the difference in values, customs, behaviors, etc. between cultures. Making sure that the teacher is aware of and cognizant of their own cultural beliefs and that they comprehend them in order to better identify these cultural gaps, are two culturally sustaining practices that teachers can use to address cultural gaps. An additional action that the teacher can take is to be transparent with the students regarding the variations in expectations and practices between the school and the home or community. 3. Identify three of the six key principles of classroom behavior management outlined in the module and offer specific example of how a teacher might use each of them in the classroom. a. Understanding Student Diversity: Instructors must exercise caution when making generalizations about their students or reacting hurriedly to behavior that they believe to be inappropriate. Instead, they ought to invest the time to become more knowledgeable about the backgrounds, morals, histories, customs, and practices of their pupils and their families. b. Use High Quality Instruction: Teachers should take into account the various needs of each student when creating high-quality instruction, and they should be ready to offer supports and accommodations as needed to keep students engaged. Students are less likely to act disruptively when teachers deliver instruction and learning activities that are suitably challenging and engaging. c. Be consistent: Students frequently believe that behavioral consequences are arbitrary and unrelated to their behavior. Teachers may create clear and predictable relationships between student behavior and teacher responses by reacting to it in a timely, clear, and consistent manner.This encourages students to take greater accountability for their actions. 4. Ms. Rollison wishes to develop a positive climate in her classroom. a. List two of the practices listed in the module. i. Create and Preserve Genuine Connections with Students and Families ii. Maintaining High Standards for Every Student b. Explain two action steps that Ms. Rollison can take to implement these practices. i. Establish a friendly and encouraging environment with the students (e.g., greet each student in the morning). Establish and uphold constructive, timely, and routine communication with families.o2. Establish and convey reasonable, unambiguous standards for behavior, and consistently

acknowledge and reward appropriate behavior. (Principle: Maintaining Uniformity Is Crucial 5. Mr. Kwon is a new teacher setting up a structured classroom for 25 4th-grade students. Though he is excited to use lots of hands-on activities and types of instruction across content areas, he is uncertain how to structure his classroom to keep his students on task, engaged, and learning throughout the school day. a. Offer two considerations that Mr. Kwon should keep in mind when arranging the physical elements of his classroom. i. Organize the furniture in the classroom to facilitate easy movement for both the teacher and the students. ii. Set up the space to accommodate the current activity as much as possible. Clusters for group work, rows for individual work, and U-shapes for discussion are examples of this. b. Explain why each of these is important. i. To ensure efficient traffic flow in and out of each area, you should set up clear pathways throughout the classroom. This reduces disruptive behaviors while allowing kids to freely access and play in various centers.2. For the following reasons, a carefully considered physical layout is crucial in any kind of special education setting: • ii. Students acquire respect for physical boundaries. 6. Mr. Kwon also wants to set up a routine for a daily morning meeting to encourage interaction and engagement before the students start their academic work. Describe at least two tips to help Mr. Kwon successfully implement this classroom routine. a. On the first day of class, go over your classroom procedures with your students in detail. Practice and review them often. Children benefit from routines because they help them know what to expect and help the day go more smoothly. In order to guarantee that tasks are carried out safely and to help prevent accidents, routines are also crucial.Post routine cues, either written or visual, in your classroom so that students can see them every day. This is significant because it reminds every student of the expectations for each day. This makes the lesson go more smoothly. 7. Sierra, a student in Ms. Gardner’s 8th-grade science class, is usually shy and anxious. When she works with a partner at a lab station, however, she often becomes very talkative. This disruptive behavior regularly causes her and her partner to miss important teacher directions and not complete labs on time. a. Name at least two surface management strategies that Ms. Gardner could use to address Sierra’s disruptive behavior. i. Redirecting: Asking a student to complete an assignment, like reading aloud or responding to a question, in order to get their attention back. ii. Interest-boosting: Showing real interest in a child's work or interests (sports, pop culture, movies, etc.) in order to establish a rapport and foster a relationship that may encourage the student to keep working on the assignment.
