I think it is safe to say that I have learned many strategies to deal with behavioural issues in the classroom, but I still have much more to learn. I am finding that when I deal with mis behaviour in my classroom I get mixed reactions from my students; some understand and I can have dialogue with them to try and figure out a solution but others do not hesitate to ignore what I have to say. I am not surprised by this, I do have very young students that I am dealing with, but I wonder how I can get to the students that ignore my requests? There is one student in particular that is having a difficult time listening and behaving and it is my goal for the long practicum to have the courage to keep trying to help her situation. I have found that it is really easy to leave her issues for the other teachers in the classroom to deal with, but I feel as though I need to step in and help as well. I think during my lessons I will have opportunities to deal with her misbehaviour and hopefully I can help her through it.
It is great that you have learned strategies for behaviour intervention and will apply them in your classroom during your ten week practicum! Observation of the teachers and how they support the specific student you are referring to, then implementing those as well, can maintain the consistency of the interventions they are trying. Hopefully, with everyone working together, this student will begin to develop better self regulation!
