In order for my students to know how to behave, I must remain calm and composed in the classroom. I must always adhere to the same rules that I expect my students to follow. For example, if there is a no cell phone policy, I must too remove my phone and limit my access to my personal phone. If students view their educator as someone who does not follow the rules of the classroom, then they will not follow either. Even something as simple as respectfully challenging students positions to start a discussion, can help students understand how to have a civil and respectful debate. In higher education, a lot of learning is outside of the classroom. However, students in the classroom need supplemental instruction and discussion in order to be challenged to learn and understand the information from the lecture. Challenging students to think more in detail, so that they truly understand the material is essential when preparing them for the workforce. Guidio (2018) states, "Make a habit of demonstrating behavior you want to see, as many studies show that modeling effectively teaches students how to act in different situations" (Guidio, 2018). This proves to be true with students in higher education as we continue to practice what we preach.]]> 2018-09-22 23:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jarett_lujan/Behaviormanagement2018/wish/284682846 jarett_lujan https://padlet.com/jarett_lujan/Behaviormanagement2018/wish/284684017 Consistency is an invaluable characteristic to a well behaved classroom. If you as an educator cannot remain consistent to your rules and expectations of the classroom, how can you expect your students to do the same. By placing the rules in front of the students to see, you enable the students to be constantly reminded of the rules. It is important that by displaying the rules, you also refer back to the display in moments of testing the expectations. ]]> 2018-09-23 00:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jarett_lujan/Behaviormanagement2018/wish/284684017 jarett_lujan https://padlet.com/jarett_lujan/Behaviormanagement2018/wish/284684024 From the beginning of the semester, students should know upfront what is to be expected of them when in class. This includes clearly stated and printed rules in the syllabus. Many professors skip through "syllabus day," in higher education, but this actually can set the tone for the entire semester. It is important that each rule and expectation is addressed from the very beginning, and throughout the semester as necessary. If the students behavior begins to shift as the semester winds down, it is important to remain clear and concise with the rules. Implementation into the classroom is simple. The professor, must be able to effectively communicate their message. Whether it is clarifying a statement, or enforcing a rule, the word choice should remain clear and concise.]]> 2018-09-23 00:26:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jarett_lujan/Behaviormanagement2018/wish/284684024 jarett_lujan https://padlet.com/jarett_lujan/Behaviormanagement2018/wish/284684031 Praising good behavior allows for the students to know that they are behaving correctly in the classroom and meeting expectations. This combats bad behavior by introducing a verbal incentive to meeting the classroom behavioral expectations. Also, by praising good students, you give attention where it is due. Sometimes, teachers only give attention to those who break the rules and waist a lot of energy by doing so. If we praise those students who are constantly behaving, we address their importance in the classroom and how they are helping advance the classroom culture. Implementation into the classroom can simple if we as educators keep away from focusing on the bad behavior of the classroom. Introducing incentives to good behavior as an added plus to praising students, will help solidify the results. ]]> 2018-09-23 00:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jarett_lujan/Behaviormanagement2018/wish/284684031 jarett_lujan https://padlet.com/jarett_lujan/Behaviormanagement2018/wish/284687704 The "Today we will," list is something that allows for transparency and preparation for the class. By letting the students know what is on the agenda for the day, you allow the student to prepare themselves, not only academically, but in mindset. How much will be expected out of them as a student of your class for the day. "It ensures that you don’t skip any concepts that you want or need to cover, and it keeps you from veering too far off on tangents" (Hall, 2018). ]]> 2018-09-23 01:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jarett_lujan/Behaviormanagement2018/wish/284687704
