Behavior Management Philosophy Statement

The purpose of this study was not to focus on how Conscious Discipline improves student outcome and the school climate, like other studies, but rather to conduct research of the social validity of the program. The study consisted of 10 certified teachers and 7 paraeducators who wear all trained in Conscious Discipline and were practicing it in their classrooms. The study was conducted at a preschool designed to cater to students with special needs. To test Conscious Discipline’s social validity, teachers were given a survey to evaluate their opinions on different aspects of Conscious Discipline such as implementation and daily use. Social validity consists of three components: (1) the goals, (2) the procedures, and (3) the effects. It was unanimously

Disciplining children is important to create a safe and fun learning environment. Discipline requires knowledge, skill, sensitivity, and self-confidence; like any art, it is something that one will acquire through training and experience; it becomes easier with practice. Many people confuse discipline with classroom management; discipline is one dimension of classroom management and classroom management is a general term. Discipline can also have a positive influence on both the individual and classroom environment. Utilizing disciplinary actions can be an opportunity to reflect and learn about consequences, instill collective values, and encourage behavior that is acceptable for the classroom. Recognition of the diversity of values within communities can increase understanding and tolerance of different disciplinary techniques. Promoting positive correction of questionable behavior within the classroom dynamic, as opposed to out-of-class punishments like detention, suspension, or expulsion, can encourage learning and discourage future miss behavior. Learning to own one’s bad behavior can also contribute to positive growth in social-emotional learning. Throughout the history of education, the most common means of maintaining discipline in schools was corporal punishment. While a child was in school, a teacher was expected to act as parents with many forms of parental discipline or rewards open to them. This often meant that students were commonly chastised with the strap

Conscious Discipline is a theory that if you can change an adult’s way of thinking, reacting, and learning, then you can change a child’s. There are seven self-control concepts to this theory, which teaches the mind of adults and children to change how they respond to difficult situations. The theory is to teach adults how to stay positive and proactive while resolving conflict with children. Also, there are seven basic skills of discipline that teaches adults how to control their own behaviors and teach positive behaviors to children. One of the examples I like the most in researching how this theory is best applicable was in the theory being a cheerleader to children. Encouragement empowers is an example that life is full of difficult times,

As educators is it important for us to teach necessary skills for our students to thrive in society and our curriculum should be based on these skills. In my current position I implement Positive Behavior Support Plans (PBIS) in schools, by having PBIS I feel we are teaching student’s the specific skills they need to be successful and helping teachers reflect on the positives. We have to strive to provide our students with skills that will not only enable them to obtain a career but also develop the skill in maintaining their career; we must also instill a sense of human decency, compassion, acceptance, respect, and global awareness. PBIS will help students know specific expectations and learn and understand that in life we have specific guidelines that we need to learn in order to receive the rewards of success.

Alicia is a bright student, but part of her hardships lie in certain behaviors that distract her and distance her in school. One example, would be Alicia’s reluctance to answer questions in class and putting her head down on the desk when she is called upon. In order to focus on this lack of participation, her first behavior goal would be, “Given a short, daily one-on-one meeting with her teacher to organize and mentally prepare for the day, Alicia will participate in class three times each day without being called on, as evaluated by the classroom teacher through a data tracking chart daily.” Breaking this goal down, the first half of the goal would be the modification and accommodation Alicia will receive. PBIS World provided different interventions for students that struggle in participation.

On the wall, an observer would find a “Classroom Constitution.” This lays the foundation of behavioral expectations. Liberty High School also participates in a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports system which is a system to encourage and reward positive behaviors as well as provide systematic consequences for poor behaviors. The classroom management in the classroom is a four step approach that begins with verbal redirection, then proceeds with a warning to cease inappropriate activity, followed by removal from activity and parent contact, then an office discipline referral if all other measures fail to end negative behaviors. Overall, students show respect to the instructor, and work on assignments and activities with only minor behavioral issues.

To implement an adequate period of instruction into which a student will take the information retained, critically think of how it can be applied, and implement it in some fashion towards any aspect of their applicable task at hand, is solely the responsibility of the facilitator for that information and how it was delivered. Knowing this, the aspects of understanding different adult learning theories is critical. As a Faculty Advisor behaviorism will be one of the theories that I will implement into all lessons.

Utilizing behaviorist theory in the classroom can be rewarding for both students and edifiers. Behavioral change occurs for a reason; many students work for things that bring them positive feelings, and for approbation from their peers. They may transmute their comportments to slake the desires they have learned to value. They generally evade demeanors they associate with unpleasantness and develop habitual deportments from those that are reiterated often . The entire rationale of deportment modification is that most demeanor is learned. If deportments can be learned, then they can withal be unlearned or relearned. Demeanor is something that an individual has learned and does perpetually. When there is a transmutation or interruption in their

This can help the consultant to understand the whole student and environment when creating goals and developing a plan. The consultant would then come up with goals, such as the teacher will provide one extra minute of time explaining the directions to the student, the teacher will consistently implement the behavior plan in the classroom, and the student will have no more than 2 behavior warnings per day. The consultant would then come up with a plan, such as having the teacher move the distracting material away from the student's desk, creating and showing the teacher how to use a positive behavior support plan for the student or entire class, meet with the teacher to see if there are any concerns and make changes as necessary. Next, the consultant would meet with the teacher again to evaluate if the goals have been met, if they were effective, and if the plan needs to continue, be modified, or stopped (Sciarra, 2004). This would be an effective consultation strategy to support the

It is a science of behavior in which it talks about the perspective in which one’s behavior is explained in such a way it responds to the things that you do. The behavior is what you are trained in a long run of life. People behavior is a result of their interaction with the environment, forcing of certain things that you have to do by your parents during your childhood days. It is basically training a person to look for things when they get a hint. People are rewarded or punished when they do achieve what they have been asked to. This influence person behavior in which it responds to what they are asked to. It can be through training or enforcing certain things on a person to follow or that they are supposed to do. People get molded in such a way that they respond to certain ways based on their feedback. Animals and human gain knowledge easily and experiments on animals determine human behavior a lot. Repeated experiments on animals and on human make them expert in understanding what they have to do when some signal is given or when they are asked to do anything.

IEP ( Individual Lesson Plan) can be designed for Mitchell. Accomplishing the target in such programmes needs consistency as it is vital where undoubting feedback and follow-up that matters, not the severity (SEN,2012,p.2). In order to balance teachers teaching and behavior modification strategies in classroom, I will assure my team to execute relevant academic activities and instructional interactions. In 2004, Rosenberg et al., viewed that “students disruptive behavior and non-academic engagement should alert teachers to assess the appropriateness of academic materials as a first line of intervention rather than simply implementing behavior modification strategies on their own”(p.105). Labelling and exclusion will be avoided.

My final observation was the need to construct a socially valid behavioral goal. This corresponds with code 2.09 Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts. According to code 2.09 of the Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts (2016) clients have the right to effective procedures

If we speak of conscious discipline refers to a framework to better understand the emotional states that are likely to produce certain behaviors. Our internal emotional states dictate our behavior (Bailey, 2015).When children do something irresponsible or disrespectful, we must give them the opportunity to offset their conduct doing something to make the offended person feel better. This does not work if the attitude of the

Today's children are tomorrow's future. It is our job to develop our youth into people who will take our knowledge and economy further than we are now. In order to chieve these goals, they will need to know the meaning of discipline. It is a lesson that will take them to and through each goal they set for themselves. Without it, they will achieve nothing. They will become victims of our undisciplined and unproductive society. Change a life and create a positive future. Lead your children in the direction they need to go. With this we give the world a future of great leaders who will carry us into the next generation with
