Summary: Improving Behavior

      I selected my student from one of my students that I viewed to have some of the worst behavior in the class. I am at Bond Elementary School which is an intercity school. Most of the school’s student population comes from subsidized housing (the projects). I am in a first grade class of nineteen students. While performing my duties at in Mrs. J Williams Classroom I became very eager to observe as well as work with a student by the name of Ja’Von W. Ja’Von is a six year old, I recently found out that his mother is on drugs and is being supported by his sixteen year old brother. Many of the students that I have observed in the classroom have had behavior problems and issues with their

When dealing with bullies, it is not in one's best interest to stand back and do nothing, but it's not wise to use reactive behavior. In chapter 7 and 9 of Jay McGraw's book, he discusses how kids can take on bullies and what parents and adults can do to help the situation.

I chose to modify my slight procrastination of school work and also utilize the time I am working more efficiently. Although I do not procrastinate with my school work to often I felt that it was enough for me to decide to use this behavior modification project to further reduce my tendency to procrastinate, especially with the work load I have encountered this term. Procrastination is essentially defined as putting off important tasks or work until the last minute and trying to complete the work in a very small amount of time. While I was working on reducing my procrastination I decided it would be a good opportunity to improve my time while working on homework or studying. Furthermore, I found that reducing my procrastination was quite simple but it did require

MHP assessed how his foster mother has attempted to respond to his anger and the triggers and reinforcements that may be contributing to its expression, while supporting the parent with strategies to best address the aberrant behavior. MHP used cognitive methods (thought stopping, thought substitutions, reframing, etc.) to gain and improve control over impulsive actions. MHP encouraged his foster mother to supply continuous praise and positive reinforcement for his positive social behaviors and better anger control. MHP recommended that Colton expresses his anger in a positive manner. MHP provided reinforcements for positive

He does not talk about his family, which seems to be an interesting area because he only talks about himself.

“We are addicted to our thoughts. We cannot change anything if we cannot change our thinking.” ― Santosh Kalwar, Quote Me Everyday. I recently found this quote online and thought it was a fitting example of my addictive behavior modification experience in CSL 466. Initially, I thought addiction is that can be changed over time with willpower, determination and help from others. However, what I’ve learned through my experience in CSL 466, is that you can try as hard as you want but some addictions never quite go away.

The subject of this discipline plan is a 7 year old, first grade girl who attends Riverhall Elementary. Over the course of this teacher candidate’s observation the student displayed many disruptive behaviors and at times became defiant when the behaviors were addressed.

If there is a not a noticeable change in behavior over the course of two weeks, then the procedure will be reevaluated and the intervention will be altered.

When engaging in a discussion with a person where you want to express some kind of disagreement or criticism, I have learned that it can be difficult to not come across as blaming the other person or offending them. I have learned from experience that addressing issues that I have as a fault of the other person do not help the conversation generate a solution. It is important to address specific behaviours that are bothersome because this allows both parties in the discussion to know exactly what is to be worked on so that both can become pleased with the outcome. If you are engaging with your friend and they are talking over you constantly, it would be better to say to them that “it makes me feel like I am not being heard when you speak overtop

After reading chapter 6, "Create Guidelines for Behavior" is one techniques of positive guidance that has stuck with me. As what is mention in the chapter, children are more likely to respect and follow the guidelines when they understand the reasons for them and when the behavior required is within their ability. Children need to be teach, guide, and support them as they grow and learn. Not just to grow and learn but to affect the way how they will be as a adult in the long run. One Strategies that I have used is "setting a good example" because every minute that your baby is with you. you are teaching them lesson that you wasn't even aware of. For example, when I take the time to giggle, making funny noise, be goofy or blowing bubbles with

The Chapter 12 article focuses on positive behavior strategies to eliminate bullying through activities for infants and junior schools. Creating a safe classroom environment will allow teachers to instruct their students in an efficient and effective manner. Unfortunately, bullying is predominant in schools where the different forms of aggression are learned. When bullying occurs, developing strategies are essential to address the issues.
