1. Reward systems can be effective for managing disruptive student behavior in the short term by gaining compliance, but they do not address the underlying issues or teach self-management skills.
2. For rewards to be most effective, the student should be involved in selecting rewards and setting goals. The link between the rewarded behavior and rewards must be clear.
3. The goal of interventions for disruptive students should be to teach self-management of behavior and transition students from an externally supported system to internal motivation. Rewards are just one supportive tool in a comprehensive guidance program.

Managing student behaviour, especially excited or divisive students, can be a daunting task, but it is definitely rewarding. After all, student behaviour plays a big role in the overall learning experience. When students are disruptive, It is important for the teacher to act quickly and correctly. Without effective behaviour management strategies, the classroom setting wouldn't be the same at all.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Rewarding students for good behavior is a popular classroom discipline
procedure.Teachers of habitually disruptive students like using rewards
because, in a well-structured reward system, they have the potential of
winning students’ compliance fast.Advocates of using rewards to
discipline students with habitually disruptive behaviors claim that
rewards promote compliance and stop misbehavior. Opponents of
rewards state that rewarding students, an externally oriented procedure
(the teacher regularly administers the rewards, not the student), are a
way of controlling and manipulating children’s behavior that does little to
change permanently the disruptive behavior. In other words, the short-
term effect of stopping misbehavior does not translate into a long-term
effect of helping children grow and develop better-adjusted ways of
behaving.Alfie Kohn, the author of Punished by Rewards states that
rewards can be seen as punishment in the sense that rewards both
manipulate behavior and are a form of doing things to students rather
than with students. Both advocates and opponents of rewards present
strong supportive arguments and I would like to bring the child guidance
perspective to this controversy.
3. Assuming that the teacher has a well-structured and consistent reward system,
rewarding students with habitually, and in some cases severe, disruptive
behaviors can be a fast and effective way of winning compliance. My fourteen
years of experience teaching emotionally disturbed/behaviorally disordered
students strongly supports the conclusion that rewards are both fast and
effective. Nevertheless, I also understand that, if used alone and with no clear
long-term goals in place (both for the student and for the teacher), rewards are
short-lived. External rewards may temporarily inhibit disruptive behaviors but
they do not teach appropriate behavior and will not help children outgrow the
disruptive behavior.Teachers need to be aware that rewards appeal exclusively to
students’ extrinsic motivation (“I do _____ so that I can get _____”) having little or
no effect in strengthening children’s intrinsic motivation (i.e. self-pride, self-
confidence, self-efficacy, and a sense of accomplishment among others).
Consequently, even when the teacher uses rewards consistently, a discipline
system that only takes into consideration giving rewards while ignoring children’s
perceptions, attitudes, and feelings may have a strong short-term effect in
winning compliance, but no long-term effect in helping habitually disruptive
students learn new and more productive ways of behaving.
4. Simply put, therapeutic teachers see rewards as
one way of supporting and strengthening the
more comprehensive child guidance program,
but they never use rewards as the only and/or
most important component in the behavioral
management program. Primarily, teaching self-
management of behavior is the long-term
therapeutic goal; rewarding behavior
extrinsically while the student develops internal
self-control and is able to self-manage behavior
is just a supportive tool in our more
comprehensive child guidance toolbox.
5. This brings us to the second point that I would like to make. At all stages of the
reward program, students should be part of the decision-making process.
Children have a say in what is motivating to them, and they have a choice in the
kinds of rewards included. Even when we are externally manipulating the
behavior, we give choices to children and make children part of the decision-
making process, encouraging and inviting the child in formulating solutions.
Learning to make better-adjusted behavioral choices is another long-term goal
that we teach children since the beginning.Children learn to make good
behavioral choices by having the opportunity to choose, not by following our
directions or receiving rewards. For this reason, we explain to the child that once
he or she is better equipped to self-manage behavior, we will fade the extrinsic
reward system, moving the student gradually from an externally supported
system into an almost exclusively internally motivated support system.The
child’s self-management skills and self-awareness tell us when he is ready to
make that transition. In addition, just knowing that they now require less external
manipulation than at the earlier stages of intervention is extremely rewarding
and motivating to students.Teachers can measure success when we find
ourselves using considerable fewer rewards at the final stages of our intervention
program than the amount of extrinsically motivated rewards required at the
initial stages of our intervention.
6. If you are thinking of implementing a reward
system to manage a habitually disruptive
student, or already have one, the following
guidelines will be helpful in increasing your
system’s efficiency.With minimal variations,
you can adjust these guidelines so that you
can use them with a disruptive class.
7. Get to know the child as an individual. Find out what the
child is interested about and what motivates him or her;
also, find out what the child dislikes. Directly ask the child
what is reinforcing to him or her.You and the child should
discuss the reinforcement.
After discussing what is rewarding to the child, set goals
with him, and help the child translate the goal into an
action plan that clearly lists the sub-steps that he will need
to follow to reach the goal. Link the reward system with
the action plan, aiming at reinforcing the action plan.
To set goals and develop an action plan, engage the
student in a discussion about “the ways he wants to be
(goal),” and how he can make that happen (action plan).
8. Do not assume that the student knows how to
listen, how to cooperate with other students, or
how to solve social problems.Teachers need to
teach those behaviors explicitly. Explain to the
student, model, and then review the behavior
that you expect from the child. Give the student
examples of alternative behaviors that the child
can use to replace the habitually disruptive
behaviors.The extra time you spend earlier in
the year teaching socially appropriate behaviors
to habitually disruptive students will save you
time and frustration in the future.
9. Explicitly state what the student needs to do
to earn the reward. For example, just saying,
“Be nice to each other” or “Pay attention to
the lesson” is not enough.You need to state
what the child is going to do in behavioral
terms, for example, “15 minutes seated and
doing your class work will earn you a token.”
The link between the child’s behavior and the
reinforcement must be apparent to the child.
10. Vary the reinforcement, so that the child does not get used to it, and
does not feel bored by the same reward.With the student, you can
develop a reinforcement menu (10-15 rewards), and to make it more
appealing, include a mystery reward.When the child meets her behavior
expectation, she selects one reward from the reinforcement menu.
For bigger rewards, you can use a token system, so that each day, the
child earns tokens, points, or checks that she exchanges at the end of the
week or month.
Emphasize social and privilege reinforcement (e.g. breakfast with the
teacher or extra computer time) over material reinforcement (toy and
prizes). Reinforcement that involves spending time with adults and doing
tasks together are generally more rewarding to children than toys.
Remember, when you spend time with the child, resist the temptation to
discipline the child during that time. In other words, keep reinforcement
time and discipline time clearly separated.
11. Always keep in mind that, particularly for students
with recurrent behavior problems, for behavior to be
good does not need to be perfect. Reward effort and
improvement; that is, notice and appreciate that the
child is trying hard and is doing a little better each
time.
Teach the student self-rewards and self-reinforcement;
for example, the child compliments herself for raising
her hand, for waiting her turn, for using a learning
strategy, or for thinking of a better approach to solve
a situation. Gradually transition the student from an
externally manipulated reward system to self-reward
and self-reinforcement.

conversation with Alfie Kohn. Educational

13. The guiding principle in child guidance is that
all therapeutic interventions are essentially
verbal interventions, most specifically,
carefully crafted ways of talking to gradually
shift a distraught or troubled child from a
state of agitation and helplessness into a
more resourceful state of resolution
