This document discusses the importance of teaching self-control to students. It defines self-control as being in charge of one's actions and words. While self-control is ultimately an individual responsibility, teachers must provide examples and guidance to help students understand and practice self-control. The document provides lessons, activities, and discussion prompts to help students learn about self-control and when it is necessary in different situations.
This document discusses strategies for effective brain-based learning and assessment. It explains that the brain has three main parts - the neocortex, limbic system, and reptilian complex - and learning is most effective when it engages both the logical neocortex and emotional limbic system. The teacher's role is to create learning experiences that elicit an emotional response. Some suggested activities include questioning techniques, competitions, debates, and self-assessments to engage students and provide feedback. The goal is frequent, formative assessment to identify gaps and misconceptions.

- The document describes the strategy of working backwards to solve problems where some information is missing, usually at the beginning. It involves starting with the answer and working methodically backwards to deduce the missing information.
- Examples are provided to illustrate how to work backwards, such as reversing mathematical operations, starting with a known final value and deducing earlier steps/values.
- Students must understand concepts like reversing operations when working backwards and starting with the end answer to deduce the starting point or missing information.
The lesson plan introduces new vocabulary related to illnesses and pharmacies. Students will practice this vocabulary by viewing realia, pictures, and dialogues. They will work in pairs and groups to discuss questions, guess pictures, create sample dialogues, and do role-plays with pharmacy scenarios. The goal is for students at the pre-intermediate level to feel more confident asking for medicine and discussing basic illness symptoms. Group work promotes interaction and language practice.
The document discusses the ART technique for managing classroom arguments. It defines the difference between classroom interactions and arguments, with interactions involving a respectful exchange of views and arguments reflecting hostility aimed at imposing one's view. The ART technique involves:
A) Avoiding arguments by resisting participation, even if a student's view seems unrealistic.
B) Researching the causes of arguments to understand recurring issues and anticipate questions.
C) Teaching to clarify misconceptions, without announcing views like election results or using confrontational language. The goal is exchanging information respectfully.

This document summarizes a student's research on their mentor, a 29-year veteran high school math teacher. The student learned that while the career has pros of sharing knowledge and making an impact, it also has cons like dealing with unruly students and a relatively low salary. Through discussions and observing challenges like behavioral problems, the student determined teaching is not the right career for them due to needing a high level of patience, which they recognize is not their strength.
Setting clear expectations and procedures is important for classroom management. On the first day of school, the teacher should greet students, assign seats, and provide an assignment at their desks to set the tone for the class. Establishing routines like "bell work" helps create a smooth running classroom where students know what is expected of them and are productive. Effective classroom management also requires implementing consistent rules, consequences, and rewards as well as teaching procedures to students and reinforcing them.
Top ten formative assessment strategies cardsWhitney Adams
This document lists and describes 10 formative assessment strategies: Quiz, Quiz, Trade; Whiteboards; Exit/Entrance Slip; Thumbs-Up; Response Journal; Four Corners; Think-Pair-Share; Snowball Fight; Sequencing; and Fist-to-Five. Each strategy is explained in 1-3 steps and is intended to check student understanding of concepts being taught and provide opportunities for students to respond to questions. The strategies allow teachers to quickly gauge comprehension levels through verbal, written, or physical responses from individual students or small groups.
This document outlines various classroom procedures put in place by Mrs. Neistadt for her biology and physical science class. Procedures are described for entering the classroom, completing bell work, getting the teacher's attention, using the restroom, sharpening pencils, using textbooks, and ending class. The purpose of having clear procedures is to minimize confusion and maximize success in the classroom.
Behaviour management techniques are used to control or modify student responses in the classroom. Some common behavioural issues observed include answering back, bullying, incessant talking, diverse learner needs, swearing, and not listening. The document provides suggestions for managing these behaviours such as using non-verbal cues, praising positive behaviour, ignoring low-level misbehaviour, and giving clear expectations and consequences. Building rapport with students and tailoring instruction to individual needs can help address the root causes of misbehaviour.
The document outlines classroom rules regarding behavior, materials, and procedures including consequences for breaking rules such as warnings, detention, and referrals as well as incentives for good behavior like praise and awards, and details procedures for entering and exiting class, notebook organization, paper usage, restroom breaks, and traveling in the hallways as a class.

Virtual port channels (vPC) allow links that are physically connected to two different switches to appear as a single port channel, avoiding STP blocking. Two switches are considered vPC peers and form a vPC domain. A peer link connects the two switches to synchronize information. A peer keepalive link provides a backup communication path if the peer link fails. VLANs allowed on the peer link are considered vPC VLANs.
The document discusses Virtual Device Contexts (VDCs) on Cisco Nexus 7000 switches which are used to virtualize the physical hardware and control plane protocols. Key points include:
- VDCs allow separate control planes like different OSPF instances per VDC. Multiple logical roles can exist on the same physical chassis.
- The number of supported VDCs depends on the supervisor module with up to 8 VDCs plus 1 default VDC. There is no cross-VDC communication.
- The default VDC "1" always exists and controls port and resource allocations. It is used to create and manage other VDCs.
The document discusses developing self-control in students. It defines self-control as the ability to control one's emotions, behavior, and desires to obtain later rewards. The document provides several strategies for teaching self-control in the classroom, including establishing routines, using positive reinforcement systems, implementing behavior management strategies, and incorporating activities that role-play practicing self-control in different situations. It also describes Martin Henley's curriculum for directly teaching 20 specific self-control skills to students.
Rudolf Dreikurs developed Alfred Adler's system of individual psychology into a method called logical consequences. This approach helps understand child behavior and encourages cooperation without punishment. Dreikurs identified four common goals of misbehavior in children: seeking attention, asserting power, taking revenge, and displaying inadequacy. Teachers can help children change these mistaken goals by understanding the goal, involving the child in solving problems, and applying logical consequences rather than punishment.

How can you assess your classroom and decide upon a plan that works for ALL students? Without managing student’s behavior in the classroom, learning cannot take place. Several classwide systems will be discussed and examples provided. You will leave the workshop knowing how to make your current behavior management system better or how to implement a new system in your class.
This document outlines several psychosocial support activities to help learners regulate emotions and build confidence. The activities include relaxation exercises like tensing and relaxing different muscle groups while pretending to be animals. Another activity involves acting out feelings charades in teams to learn about empathy. A "bag of feelings" activity allows anonymous sharing of problems and leaves difficulties at the door. Finally, a confidence drawing assignment has learners illustrate their strengths to reinforce positive self-image. The goal is to provide tools for managing emotions, supporting each other, and recognizing personal capabilities.
This weekly learning plan outlines psychosocial support activities for students in Grade 2 for Week 1. Each day focuses on a different topic like safety, problem solving, self-awareness and expressing feelings. Activities include drawing safe animals, creating a desert island with survival items, roleplaying emergency situations and a feelings wheel activity. Discussions emphasize identifying feelings, strategies for feeling safe, and supporting each other. The goal is to help students acknowledge and understand their emotions.

Behavior.Plan.021[1] Lena Zammataro's Plan GED 604Lena Zammataro
This behavior management plan outlines strategies for the first day of class and subsequent days. On the first day, the teacher will use icebreaker activities to help students get to know each other and assess their personalities and needs. They will also discuss appropriate classroom behavior. In following days, the teacher will set an orderly tone and develop a code of conduct with students. The plan details positive reinforcement techniques and ways to address misbehavior by identifying its underlying causes such as a need for attention, power, revenge or failure avoidance.
This document discusses strategies for effective classroom management and oral communication in early language learning environments. It provides examples of how to structure classroom routines like taking attendance, starting lessons with songs, and setting expectations for student behavior. Specific techniques are outlined for making smooth transitions between activities, aiding struggling students, and defusing power struggles. Forming random groups and using proximity are some of the low-key techniques recommended for managing student behavior. The document emphasizes the importance of planning, establishing clear rules and procedures, and focusing on students' partial completions rather than what they have not done.
This document discusses positive discipline and provides examples of how to implement it when dealing with common classroom situations. Positive discipline involves showing warmth, providing structure, considering long-term goals, and responding to misbehavior in a supportive rather than punitive manner. 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.
1) Several foundational educational research studies from the 1960s onward are summarized that examine topics like classroom management, adolescent development, learning theories, and effective teaching practices.
2) Key researchers discussed include Bandura, Maslow, Erikson, Rogers, Kohlberg, and Glasser. Their studies explored behaviors, needs, development, self-actualization, and moral development.
3) Harry and Rosemary Wong emphasize the importance of research-backed classroom management with procedures, routines, maximizing engagement and academic learning time. Effective teachers have high expectations and prepare extensively.

Part 1 of a four part series - This presentation gives 39 effective strategies for classroom management. Created by Rachel Wise: Licensed Behavior Specialist, Certified School Psychologist, and founder of educationandbehavior.com.
The document discusses strategies for classroom management and addressing common behavioral issues. It provides tips for preventing disruptive behavior by promoting positive behavior, establishing clear rules and routines, using positive reinforcement and praise, addressing misbehavior privately, monitoring students, and involving parents when needed. Specific issues covered include annoying classroom distractions, antagonism towards authority, argumentative students, boastful attention-seeking behavior, constant misbehavior, and students who call out in class. The document emphasizes establishing clear expectations, being consistent with discipline, examining underlying causes of misbehavior, using positive behavior strategies, and involving parents in the behavior management process.
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.
1. UNIT 4
Self-Control
Throughout our lives,we must all exercise self-control to resist temptation, to
follow directions, and, ultimately,to stay safe and be successful. In the past, we
may have expected children to use their self-control without understanding
what it is.Weare now learning that we have to teach students what self-control
is and ways to control themselves throughout their lives. Through self-control,
children discover that they are in charge of what they do and what they say.
Why should we use self-control? Self-control is a life skill that we all need
to define, practice, use, and internalize. We use self-control because it makes
us feel good about ourselves. Rather than giving children external rewards for
using their self-control, make it known that they are using their self-control to
make themselves feel good. Help students who are having problems using
their self-control by noticing and praising the times they do use self-control
and by helping them get their self-control back through Self-Control Time, a
specifictechnique describedin Lesson4.*
Although it is ultimately up to each student to use his or her self-control,
we must provide positive reminders that it takes self-control to participate in
many daily activities. Some examples of situations requiring self-control
include the following:
~ Raisingyour hand to wait your turn to speak
~ Staying focused on your work
~ Keeping your hands to yourself
~ Walking quietly in the hallway
~ Playing by the rules in gym class
~ Cleaningyourroom
~ Tellingthe truth
~ TIying your best
Daily Guidelines for Self-Control
~ Providepositiveremindersthat students must use their self-control.
~ Conveythe message that using their self-controlmakes people feelproud of
themselves.

Ask students to describe additional situations in which they have (or
have not) used their self-control.
STEP 4 - Discuss the idea that students are responsible for their own
self-control.
Share the following thoughts:
Suppose a teacher has given a direction for all students to use
their listening and try their best not to talk. Aperson next to you
taps you on the shoulder and starts talking to you. Ifyou talk
back, who made you lose your self-control?
Discuss the fact that it is up to the students to use their self-control,
even if someone else is bothering them.
Ask questions such as the following:
~ Who makes you talk? Who makes you raise your hand?
~ Whose responsibility is it to use self-control?
S T EP 5 - Have students experience the skill of Self-Controlby playing
a game.
Who Made You Move?
Purpose of the game
In this game, students will use their self-control to move their bodies
only when they hear the drum (or other musical instrument). When
the drum stops, students must use their self-control to stop moving.
Students will understand that it is up to them to control their bodies.
How toplay
First, allow the students to hear and see the drum. Choose a body
part that the students will shake (hands, shoulders, elbows, knees,
and so on). Tell the group that when they hear the sound, they
should shake the body part chosen. When the sound stops, the
students must use their self-control to stop moving and remain still
until they hear the sound again.
76 Unit 4
5. The speed of the game can be varied. The body part that students
are shaking can be varied as well. When telling students to use a
different part of the body, remind them they are using self-control to
listen to your directions.
After the game is over, you can discuss the following ideas:
~ Whomade you move?Wasit me, the instrument,or you?(you)
That is called self-control. It is up to you to use your self-control.
~ Whomakes you call out or raise your hand when you have
something to say? (you do) It takes self-control to raise your
hand and wait to speak.
~ Ifsomeone is bothering you, and you call the person a mean
name, who makes you call that person the name? (you do) It is
up to you to use your self-control to treat others the way you
would like to be treated.
STEP 6 - Do the Using Self-Control activity.
Have students turn to page 24 in their Student Manuals (Using Self-
Control). Instruct them to draw a line between the people who are
not using their self-control and the people who are. Brieflydiscuss
why the students responded the way they did.
First-gradeextension:Ask students to come up with other situations
and draw another set of examples on a separatepage.

6. LESSON 2
Reinforcing Self-Control
OBJECTIVE Students will further explore the skill of Self-Control and apply it to
their lives.
MATERIALS ~ Red and green construction paper (a small square of each colm
for every student)
~ Copiesof the I ControlMyselfactivity(page80)
~ Crayonsor markers
PROCEDURE
STEP 1 - Review what the class learned about the skill of Self-Control
in the previous lesson.
Referring to the Self-Control poster, review the skill. Discuss the
idea that everyone, whether adult or child, must use this skill to be
successful at home, at school, and in the community.
Ask students what they learned from the game in the previous
lesson (Who Made You Move?).
STEP 2 - Encourage students to experience the skill of Self-Control by
playing the following game.
Walk Away with Self-Control
Purpose of the game
When given the example of a situation in which one student is
calling another student names, the class will describe responses
that the student being teased might make. They will distinguish
between responses that do show self-control and responses that
don't by holding up a red or green construction-paper card.
78 Unit 4
7. How toplay
Explain that you will be playing a game to show how students can
use their self-control and what happens when they don't. Give each
student a red square and a green square of construction paper.
Read the following situation aloud:
Tim and Rashida are playing on the swing set during recess.
When no adults are around, Tim begins to make fun of Rashida
by calling her names. Rashida does not know what to do. What
could she do?
Ask students to think of answers to the question. Explain that if a
student volunteers an answer that uses self-control, the student's
classmates hold up the green card. Ifa student gives an answer that
does not show self-control, the student's classmates hold up the red
card. If a response does not show self-control, discuss what the
result of that response is likely to be.
After the game is over, you can ask the following questions:
~ Arekids likeTim-who callpeople names, push, and fight-using
their self-control?
~ Howmany people does it take to fight?(morethanone)
~ What did Rashida do that showed she was using her self-control?
(walJdngawqy, tel]jngan adult and soforth)
~ Howcan using your self-controlhelpyou create peace in your
life?
~ Whoshouldyou be proud ofwhen you use your self-control?
5 TE P 3 - Do the I ControlMyself activity.
Have students turn to page 25 in their Student Manuals and discuss
the ways in which the children in the three situations pictured are
using their self-control. Let students know that the fourth example
has a question mark because they will need to draw a picture of
their own self-control situation.
Give each student a copy of the I Control Myselfactivity, and
distribute the crayons or markers. Encourage students to draw a
picture of a time when they used their self-control.
After students have finished, ask for volunteers to share their draw-ings
with the class. Ifyou wish, post the drawings on a bulletin
board or the classroom wall.
