Teacher Training Programme What is the Reason For poor Behaviour in the Classroom? Teacher Training Programme What is the Reason for Poor Behaviour in the Classroom? “There is no such thing as bad students. There are only bad environments, bad training, and bad planning” - Unknown • Next time you want to blame a student or group of students for a lesson going badly, remember it is probably not their fault. • We can use strategies and techniques to ensure students are achieving their potential, no matter how poorly they behave. • As teachers, we must utilise their talents and personalities. • This will help us to curtail student misconduct in the classroom and make sure their ‘attitude’ has a positive impact. Teacher Training Programme Where Does Poor Behaviour Begin? There are three stages in a child’s life where poor behaviour can begin: Early Childhood Poor parental discipline & monitoring Late Childhood and Adolesence Middle Childhood Child Conduct Problems Rejection by normal peer group Academic failure • The bad news is that long-term risk increases with each stage. • The good news is that we can take students off this pathway. Commitment to deviant peer group Delinquency Teacher Training Programme What do the Studies Say? Studies show that: • Students are NOT born with bad behaviour. • Students do NOT learn when presented with very stringent, aversive consequences. • Students DO learn better ways of behaving themselves when they are: 1) Taught positively. 2) Feel valued and appreciated. 3) Are actively engaged in the learning process. 4) Are rewarded and praised. Teacher Training Programme Have You Witnessed Poor Behaviour In the Classroom? • In groups, Think back to when you were a student in school and think of a negative situation involving yourself in class where there was poor behaviour in the classroom. The poor behaviour may have come from yourself or other students. I want you to think about the following stages: • Stage 1 – What was the poor behavior that you experienced in the classroom? • Stage 2 - What did the teacher do in this situation? • Stage 3 - What was the outcome? • Stage 4 – If the outcome was negative, what might you do differently to achieve a more positive outcome? Using A3 paper folded equally into four sections – fill out each stage from above. Be as creative and artistic as you wish! Teacher Training Programme The Real Reasons Students Misbehave There are many reasons why students misbehave. These include: • Students don’t feel respected or appreciated. • Students don’t know/understand the instructions the teacher gave them. • Students don’t know the way they are expected to behave. • Students are demotivated to learn because of a lack of interest in the subject or other reason. • Students are unaware they are engaged in the misbehavior (due to rules and expectations not being clear). • Students want to get attention from the teacher but don’t know how. • Students want to entertain their friends. • Students can’t/don’t want to complete a task or activity (boredom, tiredness, or distraction).

Teacher Training Programme Practical use of Behaviour Management in the the Classroom Teacher Training Programme Behaviour Management in action • In you groups you will be given 2 common classroom behaviour scenarios. • In your groups we would like you to discuss these 2 scenarios and work out how you would try to positively influence the behaviour using non confrontational language as well as positive steps and actions that you could take to positively influence the students behaviour in that scenario. • We would like you to put together a poster on flip chart paper for each scenario highlighting all the things you can say and do to help with that situation in your classroom to try to positively influence the behaviour.
