Quickly manage your classroom with simple behavior modification techniques

Allick Delancy https://www.youtube.com/@thebehaviouristguy

For new teachers, and I will even say teachers who may have been in the system for a very long time, it can become difficult, at times, to control one’s classroom.  

And so, for this reason, behavior modification techniques can prove to be a superior tool in helping you, as a teacher, manage your class in the most effective way while at the same time, increasing teaching time.

Some of these techniques such as: negative and positive reinforcement, shaping, chaining, have been used by many teachers before. You may have used such techniques as well. Perhaps not calling them by these names, but the principle were behind what you used nonetheless. 

While you do not have to be an Applied Behavior Analyst to become a teacher of course, it does not hurt for one to have some knowledge on the subject.

Here are some simple techniques that you can use now to help with managing the behavior of a student or groups of students in your classroom.

Firstly, it is important to know what behavior you are trying to change.  We can call this the ‘problem behavior’. So as a teacher, it will be vital to define what the problem behavior looks like and you must have clear in your mind what the appropriate behavior looks like.

The next step will be to  have a system to record the number of times the problem behavior surfaces.  As a teacher, you can use a simple frequency data sheet that could be downloaded from the internet.  A very simple one where you can write the identified problem behavior.  And on one side of the page going down, the dates, and going across the page for each corresponding date, record the number of times the problem be seen per day/period. Do this for about three days (if the problem behavior is not life threatening).

 The next step is to add a treatment plan, while at the same time continuing to record on a daily basis the number of times the problem behavior is seen.

These tips, techniques, or strategies can be used as treatment for the problem behavior:

  • have a count down system when it is getting time to transition from one activity to the next.
  • create a token economy system where students can actually gain points for appropriate behaviors.
  • call attention to students who are engaging in appropriate behaviors, indicating what they are doing that makes their behavior appropriate or positive.

NB: Behavior modification technique in the classroom does not have to be elaborate.  Actually, what it should be is consistent.  

Behavior modification should be simple. 

As the teacher, you have to constantly remind yourself to engage in, or promote these behavior modification techniques in your classroom for adjustments to take place.

Behavior modification also means that from time to time, you will have to match the frequency of problem behavior with what you are currently seeing after the treatment has been implemented.  This will help you as the teacher, evaluates if the treatment(s) is/are the correct one(s).

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder quote 4

Loving you sometimes means I cannot walk next to the things that can make you sick,

and at the same time walk next to you,

I have to protect you from germs.

I know it don’ t make sense to you,

but to me, it does.

Hope you understand.

3 ways to assist children to be more productive.

It is so important that we teach our children how they should behave in order to achieve their goals.  Goals for instance, like educational ones.  We teach them by means of our actions and by what we say to them.

  1. Show children how to use time for study by carving out time in the day for you to study. If not study, at least time to do some reading or researching something.
  2. Help them with a time table. Show them how to make a simple timetable for periods when they are at home. In this way they will see that their day can be a productive one.  They will start experiencing less boring days and more creative, exciting ones.
  3. Talk to them about making a journal of what they have accomplished over a period of time. For instance over the course of one day or a week.

Social learning is so important to children.  So if you are a parent or guardian, use this time of learning to assist the child to make positive changes in their life and feel a sense of accomplishment.
