Case: How to best teach students social-emotional awareness Currently, I am observing a fourth-grade classroom. I was informed that, although the year started well, the student's behavior has recently become incredibly disruptive. After the first week, I observed the students constantly interrupting the teacher, engaging in verbal and sometimes physical altercations, powering off peers' laptops, crawling on the floor, etc. For the past week, we have concentrated on de-escalation skills, verbally working through a problem to create a practical solution, and four kinds of conflict: disagreement, mean moment, rude moment, and bullying. The students have been doing an excellent job of holding their peers accountable but often seem to forget to apply the skills to them as well. I know that it will become more natural as they continue to practice these skills, and I wondered if there were any ways I could help the students hold themselves accountable without overstepping my bounds. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) That is such a common thing of hypocrisy of students in the classroom. Students are very quick to say when a peer is doing something wrong but then they will go and do it five minutes later! It can be exhausting. I would say having the children have a positive reward system would help them keep themselves accountable for their actions. Maybe there could be 4 tick marks on their desk at the start of the day and each time there is a disruption caused by them one gets removed. If they have all 4 tick marks by the end of the day they could get a small reward. |
