Case: EBD Behavior Management System I have seen a lot of different behavior management systems utilized in classrooms. The school in which I frequently work has a school-wide 'clip chart' system. While this is effective in the general education classrooms, it holds little meaning to the students in the K-4 EBD room. The biggest struggle that I see faced with this particular group of students is their lack of family involvement and consequences at home. Involving parents in the situations has done little to no help thus far. Most of the time, involving administration does little help, as they come back with candy or rewards for 'calming down.' All of this combined leaves the behavior management strictly up to the teacher with very little outside help. My question is, what behavior management strategies have you seen implemented that have shown great success, especially in an elementary EBD setting? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Another solution, kind of piggy-backing off of what someone else said, is forming a trusting relationship wth the students. Students will do amazing things for the teachers they love especially if they feel genuinely cared about by the teacher. Once I was observing an ESE teacher with a very violent student, and she was the only teacher in the whole department that could cal this student down when she had a fit. She told me that trust is like a bank account, and every time you greet a student, ask them how their day is going, or are just genuinely polite to them, you're putting money in the account And hopefully, during the times when they need to be disciplined, the account will not go negative. I hope that makes sense. It made perfect sense to me when she said it. |
