10 ways to support students who are emotionally Disturbed
This article provides guidance for teachers on supporting students with emotional disabilities in the classroom. It recommends that teachers 1) create a welcoming and safe classroom environment, 2) clearly establish and enforce rules and expectations, and 3) teach and reinforce appropriate social behaviors through positive modeling and feedback.
Solving discipline and classroom management
This document summarizes Carl Rogers' theory of classroom management and discipline. It discusses key concepts like self-concept, the role of the teacher, and Rogerian therapy. It also outlines specific strategies like Teacher Effectiveness Training, "I" messages, modeling, and the six steps of problem solving. The overall approach focuses on developing students' rational thinking abilities, having teachers take a non-judgmental and supportive role, and encouraging students to talk through problems and generate their own solutions.
Learning theories
The document discusses several learning theories including behaviorism, information processing theory, humanism, constructivism, and connectionism. Behaviorism states that behavior is driven by rewards and punishments. Information processing theory describes how information moves from sensory storage to long-term memory. Humanism focuses on self-directed learning. Constructivism asserts that people learn through experiences and interactions. Connectionism describes learning as the relationship between stimulus and response, as proposed by Thorndike in his laws of effect and exercise.

Sdl norisha
The teacher is experiencing several issues in the classroom including poor classroom management, unfairly accusing a student of cheating, and not understanding student feedback. She also struggles with managing her workload and responsibilities. Possible hypotheses are that she does not understand her students or role as a teacher, and is not applying cognitive learning theories. She needs to work on understanding her class, teaching effectively, managing the class, and improving as a teacher through professional development.
Characteristics of intelligent behavior final
The document discusses characteristics of intelligent behavior that teachers can help develop in students. It recommends that teachers use graphic organizers, ask open-ended questions, and challenge students to think in new ways. Teachers should also help students learn impulse control by requiring them to think before acting, see different perspectives, and ask questions to recognize inconsistencies. Using humor, prior knowledge, and problem-solving skills can further engagement and learning.
The Four Types of Learner’s Temperament
The document discusses four types of learner temperaments: sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic. Sanguine learners are social and outgoing, and enjoy challenges. Choleric learners are leaders who are confident, goal-oriented, and logical problem-solvers. Melancholic learners carefully analyze details, stick to routines, and prefer to avoid attention. Phlegmatic learners are relaxed, peaceful, caring of others, and good at generalizing ideas. The document provides tips for educators to effectively engage each temperament type.
The Big Leap
You may find your child has trouble in first grade if they are unable to pay attention long enough to finish tasks, show self-control when frustrated, follow directions, name letters and associate sounds with letters, maintain friendships, get along with peers without hitting or yelling, be respectful to teachers, communicate understandably with classmates and teachers, or manage personal hygiene. In second grade, trouble may occur if a child can't listen to and follow multi-step directions, concentrate to complete tasks, work independently, read at grade level, or communicate needs and feelings verbally and respectfully.

Discipline models
The document compares and contrasts two classroom discipline models: Assertive Discipline and Raising Responsibility. Assertive Discipline, developed by Lee Canter, involves setting clear rules and consequences, as well as rewarding positive behavior. Raising Responsibility, created by Marvin Marshall, focuses on teaching students about different levels of behavior and having them reflect on their actions to find intrinsic motivations to do well. Both models agree that teachers must clearly communicate expectations, though they differ on whether behavior should be motivated by external rewards or internal morality. An effective approach may combine both models' emphasis on expectations and consequences with Raising Responsibility's reflection activities.
Module 9 exercises
This document provides solutions to common classroom management problems related to group work, class discussions, task completion, maintaining student focus, physical classroom limitations, unsuccessful lessons, lack of student interest, and prolonged transition times. Suggested solutions include assigning leadership roles to excluded students, randomly assigning groups, distributing tasks evenly, using engaging topics to refocus students, having faster students help slower ones, evaluating group work, changing the classroom layout, focusing on core lesson concepts when lessons fail, using interactive materials or jokes, and enforcing time limits for transitions with consequences.
Evaluation elt
The document discusses the author's experience with assessment strategies as a student. It notes that teachers primarily used formal exams to evaluate students, which involved answering questions with no clear explanations. While formal exams are good, many students prefer assessment forms that allow them to demonstrate their strengths in different ways and are less stressful than exams. Assessment forms provide more flexibility than single exams, where failing an exam means failing the semester. The author believes teachers should consider changing to assessment forms for evaluating students.
Pre School Teachers
Pre-School teachers aim to prepare 4-5 year old children for first grade by teaching them skills like following instructions, sitting still, and working with peers. Some goals are achieved by having children line up, take turns, and properly handle books. Teachers find reward in seeing students learn colors, letters, numbers through activities and asking questions. They hope to make learning fun while teaching basics, maintain enthusiasm, and interact well with parents through potential difficulties. The main reasons for becoming a teacher are loving kids and helping them grow, having patience for typical behaviors, and helping children with problems.
Gifted student or teacher pleaser

It provides lists of behaviors for teacher pleasers, potentially gifted students in the academic, intellectual, and behavioral domains. The document also outlines the process for referring a student for gifted screening, including filling out forms, reviewing files, testing and sharing results. References are provided at the end.
Vocabulary Knowledge Rating
The Mastery Math Tool allows students to self-assess their understanding of math terms before and after learning new content. Students rate their familiarity with terms on a scale from 1 to 4 both initially and after instruction. They then reflect on how their understanding changed over the course of the math unit.
Teaching Methods
The document discusses effective teaching methods. It argues that students should be taught gradually, starting with general concepts and basics before moving to more complex details. A successful teaching process involves three steps - first introducing general points, then providing more details, and finally exploring topics deeply. In contrast, many modern teachers incorrectly start with complex concepts without preparing students. An effective method is to start simply and gradually increase students' understanding over time.
Classroom Management Case Study
Mrs. Sepulvedare had problems with some students talking and misbehaving during class discussions in her 8th grade class. To address this, the document recommends:
1) Changing student seating arrangements so that friends aren't sitting together and seats are assigned based on behavior and academic performance.
2) Reconsidering teaching methods to more fully engage distracted students by calling on them and having them participate.
3) Giving leadership tasks like choosing topics or finding materials to make those students feel invested in learning.
Assertive discipline
Assertive discipline is a classroom management approach that emphasizes establishing clear rules and consequences for behavior, as well as positively reinforcing desirable behavior. It involves 6 steps: 1) building student-teacher relationships, 2) establishing rules, 3) tracking misbehavior, 4) using punishment to enforce limits, 5) implementing rewards for good behavior, and 6) gaining parent support. Teachers are trained to communicate rules firmly but not abusively, and apply appropriate punishments like timeouts or loss of privileges, while also rewarding students with praise, privileges, or awards when they follow rules. The goal is to catch students behaving well and shape behavior through positive reinforcement.

Presentation on rating scales
about rating scales and its different types characyeristics advantages and disadvantages.., checklist OSCE!
Rating scales
Rating scales are used to assess normal personality and behavioral abnormalities in children by having observers rate a child's behavior over time based on descriptions of behaviors. They are low-cost, more effective than self-reports for children, and less biased than unstructured interviews. Common formats include checklists indicating behaviors and Likert scales rating how well behaviors describe a child. Rating scales allow standardized measurement and differentiation of behaviors for comparisons to norms.
Rating scales
This document provides information about rating scales. It defines rating scales as techniques where observers categorize objects, events, or people on a continuum represented by a series of numbers. It discusses different types of rating scales including numerical, graphic, percentage, standard, scales of cumulated points, and forced choice scales. It also outlines important considerations for properly constructing rating scales such as clearly defining traits and scale intervals.
Rating scales
Rating scales are used to evaluate student behavior and can measure the degree to which students exhibit certain behaviors. Descriptors provide detailed information about rating scale levels. Rating scales are useful when combined with other assessments like interval recording. Several commonly used rating forms include the Teacher Report Form, Child Behavior Checklist, Youth Self-Report, Behavior Rating Profile-2, and Conners Teacher and Parent Rating Scales. These forms measure behaviors, adaptive functioning, and problems through ratings from teachers, parents, and students. While rating scales can provide useful information, they also have limitations like subjectivity.
NAZ Positive Discipline.pptx
This document discusses positive discipline and provides examples of how to implement it when dealing with common classroom situations.

The document outlines five steps to take - understanding reasons for the behavior, remembering long-term goals, showing warmth, providing structure, and responding positively. Specific strategies are provided for situations like a student failing classes, students cutting classes, frequent student absences, and discovering students vandalizing school property.
Classroom Management Strategies
The document discusses strategies for effective classroom management, noting that there is a direct correlation between classroom management style and student academic achievement. It states that temporary "management" plans focusing on rules and punishments are not truly effective, and that good classroom management is not dependent on factors like experience or school environment. Effective classroom management requires addressing the underlying causes of issues rather than just the symptoms.

The document outlines steps taken by Santa Barbara County SELPA to improve outcomes for students in therapeutic education programs, including:
1) Conducting a needs assessment that found students were remaining in programs too long without consistent behavior plans or curriculum.
2) Researching evidence-based practices and consulting experts, which led to implementing a multi-tiered AIMS levels system, social-emotional curriculum, and behavior plans.
3) The AIMS system uses a points-based structure to gradually transition students from restrictive to less restrictive environments based on acquiring, implementing, and maintaining skills over time. Progress is monitored through regular behavior ratings.

This document discusses solution-focused consulting strategies for working with students. It emphasizes that consulting aims to create change through exploration of solutions, rather than discipline which focuses on consequences. The solution-focused approach assumes that students have capabilities and that change is always happening. It focuses conversations on student strengths, exceptions to problems, and desired futures rather than analyzing problems. Effective consulting questions from this approach are curious, respectful, and future-oriented rather than blaming. Examples show how reframing typical questions can shift focus to solutions.

Key elements include identifying the scope of the problem, establishing clear policies, training all staff, and focusing education on inclusion and bystander intervention especially in elementary grades. Successful programs obtain staff buy-in, have objective metrics to measure impact, and provide year-long implementation with involvement from administrators, teachers, staff, students, and parents. Resources are available to help schools assess needs, select evidence-based programs, and create emotionally safe environments for all.
