But, in general, teachers haven’t been taught that behavior problems or concerns actually happen much, much earlier within the cycle ( The IRS Center pg 2)." en-us 2018-10-20 16:37:04 UTC 2026-02-03 13:56:18 UTC hello@padlet.com laurenroth_24 https://padlet.com/laurenroth_24/zzi8c2zyqxmr/wish/295094792
During this phase, students are acting in according to classroom rules and expectations. Giving students enough attention to keep them engaged can help keep students in this calm phase.]]> 2018-10-20 16:41:20 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenroth_24/zzi8c2zyqxmr/wish/295094792 laurenroth_24 https://padlet.com/laurenroth_24/zzi8c2zyqxmr/wish/295095043 School-based concerns that are not addressed by the teacher can be a trigger in the acting-out cycle. Non-school based concerns, such as hunger or stressful home situations are difficult triggers for teachers to control. ]]> 2018-10-20 16:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenroth_24/zzi8c2zyqxmr/wish/295095043 laurenroth_24 https://padlet.com/laurenroth_24/zzi8c2zyqxmr/wish/295095629 The behavior in this phase is unfocused but off-task. Teachers should be observing their student, notice this behavior, and attempt to intervene during this stage to keep the behaviors from increasing in severity. Simply talking to the student to figure out the trigger can be very useful.]]> 2018-10-20 16:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenroth_24/zzi8c2zyqxmr/wish/295095629 laurenroth_24 https://padlet.com/laurenroth_24/zzi8c2zyqxmr/wish/295096233 During this phase, a student's behavior will be focused on engaging the teacher. This is typically where teacher's first notice the behavior, making it hard to de-escalate.  Offering a prompt and then walking away can prevent a power-struggle between the teacher and student. Offer prompt reinforcement once their behavior begins to calm down]]> 2018-10-20 16:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenroth_24/zzi8c2zyqxmr/wish/295096233 laurenroth_24 https://padlet.com/laurenroth_24/zzi8c2zyqxmr/wish/295097442 Behavior during this phase will be out of control. Have a plan, such as moving the student to another location, to keep all students safe.

Giving them a short, independent activity can help remove attention off of them. Use this time to regain the attention and control of the rest of the students.]]> 2018-10-20 17:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenroth_24/zzi8c2zyqxmr/wish/295097687 laurenroth_24 https://padlet.com/laurenroth_24/zzi8c2zyqxmr/wish/295098216 Debriefing the situation with the student is necessary. Discuss the trigger of the behavior, and give the student time to reflect and respond. Debrief the class by reminding them to be supportive because that situation could happen to anyone.]]> 2018-10-20 17:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenroth_24/zzi8c2zyqxmr/wish/295098216 laurenroth_24 https://padlet.com/laurenroth_24/zzi8c2zyqxmr/wish/295099343 Behaviors are going to occur in the classroom; as a teacher, it is important to recognize the acting-out cycle. Monitoring students constantly can help a teacher recognize signs of agitation, so he or she can de-escalate as quickly as possible. Also, those moments can be used as teachable moments for students on how to respond to feelings of stress or agitation. In the “Create a Safe Classroom”, the teacher uses a morning meeting with the students to gauge how each students’ state of mind as they head to school. That way, a teacher can see who may be at risk for behaviors based on certain triggers, and that teacher can provide more attention for them. I also liked how that teacher had a ratio of interaction that favors positive comments. This can keep a calm environment in the classroom, where students feel good about themselves and their abilities. Too many negative comments can put students into a negative mindset, increasing their chances of acting out.
