23. Placing Problem Solving in Context
1. What do I want to accomplish in
responding to student behavior that
is disrupting the learning
environment?

24. 2. Where does problem solving fit into my
classroom management plan?

25. 3. How does problem solving relate to other
corrective behavior management interventions?

26. Glasser’s seven step model
• Step 1: Establish a warm, personal
relationship with the student.
• Step 2: Deal with the present behavior.
- ‘What happened?’
- ‘What did you do?’

27. • Step 3: Make a value judgement.
- ‘Is it helping you?’
- ‘Is it helping the others?’
- ‘Is it against the rules?’

28. • Step 4: Work out a plan.
- ‘What can you do differently?’
- ‘What do you need me to do?’
- ‘What do you need others to do?’

29. Yükleniyor…
• Step 5: Make a commitment.
- ‘Are you going to do this again?’
• Step 6: Follow up.
- ‘ I will check later and see how
the plan has worked.’

30. • Step 7: No put- downs, but do not accept
excuses.
- ‘If the plan did not work, let’s analyse
why and develop a new plan.’

Problem solving in
the Classroom

32. Ten steps for teaching a problem-solving
method to students
• Provide the students with a handout and
write the steps on the overhead.
• Discuss each step and provide an
example.

33. • Role-play several situations in which a student
misbehaves.
• Lead a discussion following each role-play.
• Have the students practice by taking the
role of both student and teacher.

34. • Process these interactions.
• Provide the class with an example of a
violation classroom rule and have each student
write a problem-solving plan.
• Have students share and assist the
class in evaluating and, if necessary,
modifying several plans.

35. • Explain how the problem-solving process
relates to the classroom management plan and
the difference between verbal and written
plans.
• Quiz students on the steps in the sequence and
classroom management plan.

39. Features of effective programs to prevent and
respond to ‘bullying’ according to Kauffman

positive, supportive school environment in
which adults set clear and firm limits on
unacceptable behavior.

40. • Nonhostile, nonphysical sanctions applied
immediately and consistently to violation of
behavioral expectations.

41. • Continuous monitoring and surveillance of
student activities in and around the school.
• Adult mediation of student interactions and
assumption of authority to stop bullying when
it is observed.

victims, parents and neutral students to clarify
school values, expectations, procedures and
consequences.

and students to resolve problems
openly and before they become
major issues that negatively affect
learning.

45. Guidelines for Implementing a Class
Meeting
1. Class meetings will be held in a tight circle
with all participants seated in the circle.
2. All problems relating to the class as a
group can be discussed.

46. 1. An agenda will be created prior to every
class meeting.
2. Discussions are always directed toward
arriving at a solution that is not a
punishment.

47. 1. If an individual student’s behavior is listed
on the agenda, the item will not be discussed
without the student’s permission.

48. 1. Students’ responsibilities during class
meetings include:
• raising hands and being called on to speak
• listening to the speaker and not talking while
someone else is speaking
• staying on the topic until it has been completed

49. • being involved by sharing ideas that will help the
group
• using positive, supportive words to discuss the
problem and solutions

facilitator for the class meetings.

Meetings
1.After leading approximately ten
class meeetings, present students
with a handout describing the
major functions a leader serves
when facilitating a group meeting.
2.Introduce an agenda item or
classroom problem.

51. 1. After running three or four actual class
meetings in which you consistently point out
the function of each intervention, meet with
and teach one student the role of discussion
leader.

52. 4. Students should function in a role for five or
six meetings so that they can master the skills
associated with the role and effectively model it
for other students.
