9. What is defiance?
Cultural differences can be interpreted as
defiance
Dr. McIntyre www.behavioradvisor.com
“Look at me when I am talking to you!” In many
Asian, black and Hispanic homes, children are
taught to lower their eyes when being
disciplined as a sign of respect and submission
Many culturally diverse children smile when
being disciplined, not to express defiance, but
rather due to anxiety, appeasement attempts or
confusion (Henkin & Nguyen, 1981; Nine-Curt,
1976).
How do we correct behavior errors? Focus on the 3 tasks in Chapter 9 and go a little deeper than the book. Things not in the book will be in your packet and we’ll point those things out to you.
Fluently – least amount of interruption to the flow of your instruction
Reacting emotionally can impact all of these things, but especially inconsistency. On a bad day we may overreact, but on a good day, we may underreact. For example, your class is focused and working and that one student who hums when he works doesn’t really bother you right now so you ignore it. The next day your class is a little louder, your lesson didn’t go as planned, things are more chaotic, and you tell the student if he doesn’t stop humming you’re going to have to send him out. OR you consistently let your 4th period students come in late to class after lunch and don’t really acknowledge it, but that one day you had a rough class before, you decide you’re going to lock them all out and not let them in. Emotions are impacting the way you respond, which leads to inconsistency and could reinforce the behavior errors. “I know I have to be on time for Schrumpfs class because she’ll keep me after if I’m late, but I know I can be late to Russells class because she doesn’t keep track of tardies. MODEL the behavior we expect to see: teacher is late, but marks kids tardy. Teacher yelling at her kids in the hallway for being loud in the hallway.
