35. Functions of Behavior
• Every behavior has a function
• Four primary reasons for disruptive behavior in
the classroom
– Power
– Revenge
– Attention
– Want to be left alone (i.e., disinterest or feelings of
inadequacy)
37. Students misbehave for several reasons:
• They are bored.
• They don’t know the purpose of your presentation.
• They don’t understand how the information that you
are delivering applies to them.
• Instruction is uninteresting
• The pace of the instruction is incorrect (too fast, or
too slow).
• Not enough interaction between and among peers.
38. "Listen" To The Students’ Misbehavior
• Student misbehavior isn't just an annoying
disruption --- it's a secret message the student is
(unwittingly) trying to convey to you.
39. Common responses
• Call the parents
• Send to Hod/Principal’s office
• Tell him you will give him a zero
• Make him come in during lunch
• Make him sit by himself during class
51. One hundred years from now it will not matter
What kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
How much I had in the bank,
Or what my clothes looked like.
But the world will be a better place because
I was important in the life of a Student.
