Case: Too much negativity
In my first internship, I barely saw any examples of positive reinforcement used in the classroom. The school's behavior management plan was highly ineffective, as the students did not care about the rewards that were offered. The only action that was taken in my classroom was yelling, turning off the lights, and making the students go to their seats and put their heads down. I know that my CT was fed up with the school, but I don't think she was making a huge effort to make her classroom a positive environment. How could you step up and make a change in such a negative school environment?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
To some extent, you have to go along with the school's discipline program. There is a place for consequences, but in your own classroom you have control and you can add positive reinforcements. As you create your own positive environment, I would strive for a positive:negative ratio of 3:1 at least. Your student's behavior should improve, and if you keep a record of this, other teachers and administration will notice. Hopefully when they do see the change, they will invite you to explain your methods and help implement a new school-wide program. |

Comments: Cosidering this person is only an intern, it may be hard for them to implement positive reinforcement in another teacher's classroom. |
