Implications for Practice
With every behaviour management strategy or plan that you use in the classroom there are implications to coincide with. It is like medication or consequences, no one size fits all.
You have a class that responds extremely well to the theories and strategies discussed in Responsibility Theory; but are all of your classes and students going to respond to the same tactic? Maybe John Bayley's video on Tough Love is the path that you are walking. Or Skinner's theory on operant conditioning. The 'no one size fits all' saying applies to teachers and the strategies they use as well.
As a teacher it is paramount to build up the strategies you have in your belt, just in case you get a class that responds to none of the strategies you have perfected over your career.
Below are a few questions you may wish to reflect upon after going through this PD.
What did you take away from this Professional Development Resource that made you think "wow, I could use that!"
How are you going to take the classroom and behaviour management theories you may not have known previously and use them to make every day the best day?
Are you going to dive further into behavioural studies and find the strategies that work best for you - for your students?
Has this resource helped you understand AITSL standards 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4? Will you go back through and highlight the passages that relate to the 4 Standards for easier reference later?
Are you going to share this resource with other teachers that may need help managing a challenging classroom?
Do you know all of the legislative requirements and policies at your school relating to behaviour management?
Did any of the theories and models named in the "Key Theorist" page spark ideas for tackling your most difficult student?
What are you going to do with this information now?
