Case: Middle School Behavior Problem Not Solved
This semester I am interning in a middle school with ESE inclusion students. A majority of the ESE students are boys with SLD, ADHD, or selective mute-ism. These students really like to be involved in sports. However, lately the students have become openly defiant with me. I have tried giving them rewards for good behavior and giving them more encouragement on assignments, none of which seem to be helping the situation. These students do not yet see me as an educator. I am very lost on how to help these types of students. I do not want to issue out lunch detentions if it will make the situation worse.
What can I do to help these boys and stop the misbehavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I've taught middle school for several years, and I really enjoy teaching this age group. This age group can be challenging, and you're doing good trying positive reinforcement. I would recommend that with positive reinforcement, you let your students earn the reward over a long period of time. Give them something to look forward to, not just give them a reward right away because they will expect a reward all them time and that can back fire. For example, with candy, don't give them candy for the correct answer on a warm-up exercise, give them stamps or stickers to collect for two weeks, maybe 20 stamps to cash in for extra credit, maybe playing a game a the end of class, or a piece of candy from the treasure box. Make the reward a very special prize. Also with middle school, always have clear rules and expectations clearly posted in your classroom and refer to them at all times. Don't hesitate to stop teaching, and referring to a rule by having the student who's not following read it aloud to remind him or his peers that these are the rules in the classroom. Once you have rules, routines, procedures well established, I recommend group activities where your students get to be social in a educational and collaborative group where they can investigate and learn together. |
