Managing Behavior

Understand the basics in order to improve behavior management

Behavior is any action (or sometimes inaction) that is not a reflex –

Students need to learn to work through frustration –

Status is important to students  - they want to be accepted by their peers –

There are times when rewards and punishment do not work –

         That does not mean that the behavior can’t be changed – It means a different approach is needed

3) intellectually stimulated

4) productively engaged in an activity or task
