Write a reflective summary indicating how what you have observed and discussed may affect your approach to discipline. The teacher provides a highly motivation, smoothly run classroom where on task behavior is a natural response to the environment. Proactive planning prevents off task behaviors. On task behaviors empower the student to successfully manipulate the subject in his own terms. Off task behaviors are seen by the student as an unattractive alternative.
Students feel accountable for behavior.
The teacher exhibits a controlled, appropriately reactive style of intervention when off task behaviors occur. Where possible, the teacher uses nonverbal, unobtrusive intervention. Teacher monitors student progress following off task behaviors to remediate and avoid further problems.
