Today
I went on a course called, Incredible
Teachers Programme (C
Webster-Stratton). Quotes taken from her book and things I learnt.
I
learnt that, "when students are disruptive or behave in ways that are
counterproductive to students' learning, it all too easy for teachers to
automatically react emotionally."
I
learnt that, "rather than react to problem behaviours when they arise, teachers
can anticipate the kinds of classroom conditions that are likely to produce
disruptive or disengaged behaviours and take productive steps to prevent
them."
I
learnt that, "classroom structure provides the basic scaffolding framework
that supports the child's ability to learn.
I
learnt that, "predictable classroom routines and schedules, how
transitions are handled, and clear guidelines for the expected behaviours, help
children learn."
I
learnt that, "giving hyperactive and inattentive students opportunities to
move in appropriate ways." One example: provide a "wiggle space"
in the classroom.
I
learnt that, "be creative in your use of redirecting strategies-avoid
repeated commands. Use nonverbal and engaging activities.
