• For teaching to be enjoyable, you must be able
  to simply relax and teach. Classroom management
  must be built from the ground up so that most
  problems do not occur.

Kristina Will Not Work

• Kristina, a student in Mr. Jakes class, is quite
  docile. She socializes little with other
  students and never disrupts the class. However,
  Mr. Jake cannot get Kristina to do any work. She
  rarely completes an assignment. She is simply
  there, putting forth almost no effort at all.
  How would Jones deal with Kristina?

9
Kristina Will Not Work

• Make frequent eye contact with her. Even when
  she looks down, Mr. Jake should make sure to look
  directly at her. She will be aware of it, and it
  may be enough to encourage her to begin work.
• Move close to Kristina. Stand beside her while
  presenting the lesson.
• Give Kristina frequent help during seat work.
  Check on her progress several times during the
  lesson. Give specific suggestions and then move
  quickly on.
• Increase the amount of Say, See, Do Teaching with
  Kristina so she has less information to deal with
  and is called on to respond frequently.
• Set up a personal incentive system with Kristina,
  such as doing a certain amount of work to earn an
  activity she especially enjoys.
• Set up a system in which Kristina can earn
  rewards for the entire class. This brings her
  peer attention and support.

Sara Cannot Stop Talking

• Sara is a pleasant girl who participates in class
  activities and does most, though not all, of her
  assigned work. She cannot seem to refrain from
  talking to classmates, however. Her teacher, Mr.
  Gonzales, has to speak to her repeatedly during
  lessons, to the point that he often becomes
  exasperated and loses his temper. What
  suggestions would Jones give Mr. Gonzales for
  dealing with Sara?

11
Sara Cannot Stop Talking

• Increase physical proximity
• Make eye contact
• Use proper breathing to help calm yourself down
• Give classroom job that involves talking
• Use Preferred Activity Time (PAT)
• If her work gets done she will have time to talk
  at the end of the day
• Group Concern would be a good way for the
  classmates to discourage talking so they can get
  their PAT
• Backup Systems

Joshua Clowns and Intimidates

• Larger and louder that his classmates, Joshua
  always wants to be the center of attention, which
  he accomplishes through a combination of clowning
  and intimidation. He makes wise remarks, talks
  back (smilingly) to the teacher, utters a variety
  of sound-effect noises such as automobile crashes
  and gunshots, and makes limitless sarcastic
  comments and put-downs of his classmates. Other
  students will not stand up to him, apparently
  fearing his size and verbal aggression. His
  teacher, Miss Pearl, has come to her wits end.
  What specifically do you find in Joness
  suggestions that would help Miss Pearl deal with
  Joshua?

13
Joshua Clowns and Intimidates

• Increase physical proximity
• Make eye contact
• Use appropriate facial expressions
• Give classroom job to give him responsibility and
  attention at the same time
• Use proper breathing before talking to him
• Backup Systems
• Omission Training- give him responsibility for
  class to earn PAT
• Grandmas Rule- own behavior plan

Tom is Hostile and Defiant

• Tom has appeared to be in his usual foul mood
  ever since arriving in class. On his way to
  sharpen his pencil, he bumps into Frank, who
  complains. Tome tells him loudly to shut up.
  Miss Baines, the teacher, says, Tom, go back to
  your seat. Tom wheels around, swears loudly,
  and says heatedly, Ill go when Im damned good
  and ready! How effective do you believe Joness
  suggestions would be in dealing with Tom?
