Scenario discussion
Classroom incidents – aiming to respond rather than react
Styles of respondingConsider the following classroom situation:
Josh grabs Craig’s mobile phone and appears to hide it from him.Think about the following options for the teacher:
1. ‘Josh, stop being childish and give Craig his phone back.’2. ‘Josh, we ask before borrowing in this classroom. Craig why have you got your
phone out’3. ‘Josh, you’re quite able to get on with your work, so return Craig’s phone and let
him put it out of sight and he can do the same.’

Options
These three simple options have both similarities and differences. They are similar in that they all indicate to Josh that the teacher has noticed his
behaviour and decided it is inappropriate. In that sense they may all serve to mark a boundary on
behaviour. But they also have differences:1. has elements of judging the person, negatively2. points to an agreement previously made3. refers to responsibilities in learning.

Impact:
The impact of these different styles, if generalised over time, can be quite marked.
Style ‘1’ can be counterproductive in terms of improving behaviour because it may build up resentments; it may be the style of the ‘deviance-provocative teacher’
Style ‘2’ can be effective if it is set against a background of making and reviewing agreements regarding classroom behaviour.
Style ‘3’ makes the important link with what we aim to achieve in classrooms, it reaffirms our purpose. But style ‘1’ is quite prevalent in our classrooms and the most frequently occurring teacher comments are very brief: ‘Stop it’ and ‘Shut up!’

Scenario 1 - Solutions
A• Late sheet / book• Outcomes sheet with reading activity given to them• Late table• Have a planned activity ready for them to do to catch upB• Keep learner behind at the end of the session to catch up on
valuable missed work. Take them into library if room not available • Keep a note for next session – 2 lates have discussion about
ground rules. 3 lates report to course personal tutor, needs to be consistently followed through. Suspension is an option – use it!

Quote
“Professionals who behave confidently and who give the impression that things are under control are less likely to be assaulted or to witness assaults.”

Responding to aggressionassertively
Aggression comes in many forms
Direct physical aggression towards classroom staff is comparatively rare. When faced with direct aggression, the two main responses are ‘fight’ (returning the aggression) or ‘flight’ (non assertion).
These may seem natural, or indeed sensible in evolutionary terms, but it is possible to develop a new response – learning to respond to aggression assertively so that you retain control of your own behaviour. When developing this response as an addition to our repertoire, two connected things become noticeable.
First we often predict that we will get a violent reaction to our assertive response. This is inaccurate. Second, our predictions shape our range of behaviour, this can be in either a limiting or expanding fashion.

How can I get myself toreact less?
Here it is worth considering the fast sequence whichoccurs when we’re faced with any incident. It startswith the lower part of the brain firing off some veryquick feelings. Then follow the higher parts of thebrain which bring in a range of considerations andprevious experiences. Finally, we decide what to doand act. So, with emotionally intelligent behaviour,the sequence is:
![Page 14: Advanced Classroom Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816754550346895ddc06af/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Feel –Think - Do
Remember or anticipate a situation where you were on the receiving end of someone else’s aggression.
Try to notice your own ‘inner dialogue’.
This may be very brief, but can have strong effects, both on how you subsequently feel and on your range of possible behaviour.
You can practice spotting this and its effects. Here are some examples:Inner dialogue Possible feelings Possible behaviour1. ‘Who does he/she think he/she is?’ Anger Aggression2. ‘How could he/she behave like that?’ Hurt Non-assertion3. ‘This looks nasty, I’d better go along with it.’ Fear Non-assertion4. ‘He’s getting annoyed but I’ve seen this before.’ Calmness Assertion

How do you deal with...
Aggression Defensive behaviour
Activity -Brainstorm
This is a paper exercise so be honest here (quiet reflection)

A Typical behaviour issue.............
Learner starts to eat lunch (crisps and a sandwich)
Teacher - asks him to stop eating and return food to his bag.
He refuses and continues to eat and he rebelliously puts his feet up on the table
Teacher - repeats the request and is ignored once more
What would you do????????
![Page 17: Advanced Classroom Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816754550346895ddc06af/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What if your assertive approach doesn't work
Ask them to leave the room???? Call for help???? How can you do this?? Team approach ??? What can you do to assist the individual teacher(team
approach)??? Involve security staff???
What are your realistic option here?

Hold a meeting.......
Example area : Sport Studies Establish a plan for a
standardised approach to manage unacceptable behaviour
Hold a team meeting
You can choose to deal with one area or your college as a whole
Wider College: What are the typical
behaviours in your area Discuss how this approach
could work in your area On meeting sheet identify
key people that would be willing to support the process
Outline the process to tell others in your team

There are classic errors that teachers make when it
comes to instilling order in the lesson
......but happily they can be remedied.

Discussion points
Attempting to control a class Taking poor behaviour personally Criticising the person rather than the behaviour Not giving a learner a second chance Making threats Inconsistent approach

Extra resources
Some slides are good for discussion and further support during workshops
If used in the workshop they need to be broken down further to avoid a formal presentation

Attempting to control a class
You cannot control anybody else’s behaviour but your own. If teachers are determined to control lesson interactions
become hostile Increasingly demanding with a heavy reliance on
punishment. Highly effective teachers seek to influence and manage learner’s behaviour.
![Page 27: Advanced Classroom Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816754550346895ddc06af/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Taking poor behaviour personally
All behaviour is purposeful - it attempts to either gain something, usually peer kudos or attention, or not lose something, usually saving face in front of their friends.
You can avoid this by: Modelling the behaviour you want rather than react to the
behaviour you’re getting. Looking to find solutions to behavioural issues in a
professional and measured way Managing your emotions and being optimistic that a way
forward will be found in time. Keeping things in perspective; remember the things you do
well and avoid focussing on things that have gone badly.
![Page 28: Advanced Classroom Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816754550346895ddc06af/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Criticising the person rather than the behaviour
Really effective relationships are built on distinguishing what someone does - their behaviour -from the actual person. For example, if a teacher says: ‘Don’t be so spiteful!’ the learner will feel personally attacked.
Criticising the specific behaviour is a more effective strategy as it gives pupils an opportunity to learn and modify their behaviour. The same teacher could say instead, ‘Mocking Chris is hurtful behaviour.’
![Page 29: Advanced Classroom Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816754550346895ddc06af/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Not giving a learner a second chance
If a learner behaves poorly give them a chance to start afresh. If you don’t allow learners to make amends it can limit their relationship with you and damage their self-esteem. It’s also unlikely that there will be any positive change.
![Page 30: Advanced Classroom Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816754550346895ddc06af/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Making threats
If you make threats of any kind or personal, derogatory remarks, this can only lead to a hostile relationship, damaged self-esteem, and worsening behaviour.
Threats tend to have an intimidating and bullying tone and are often said in an emotional way
![Page 31: Advanced Classroom Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816754550346895ddc06af/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Inconsistent approach
Often this presents as giving warnings or sanctions but not carrying them through or applying sanctions and then letting learners off
![Page 32: Advanced Classroom Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816754550346895ddc06af/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Good advice ...
read on a regular basis to remind you how to remain professional and reinforce your own good practises of being positive and a good role model
It is always good to revisit your behaviour management techniques
