¶ … Managing Supportive Learning Environments
Mode of Enrolment: ONC (Toowoomba) or WEB (Highlight one).
A central message from this advancement is that successful behaviour change requires identification of the events that predict and maintain problem behaviours. Historically, the problem behaviours have been seen as inherent in the child, behaviours which must be controlled and managed. The idea of support proactively focuses on prevention and educating students in different, more appropriate forms of behaviour. The challenge is to teach that poor behaviour goes beyond breaking rules and getting caught -- that it deprives others of their right to feel safe and respected, and to learn without distractions (Rogers, 2007). In practice, behaviour support involves "interventions that consider the contexts within which the behaviour occurs . . . that address the functionality of the problem behaviour . . . that can be justified by the outcomes . . . [and] that are acceptable to the individual, the family, and the supportive community" (Haring and De Vault 1996).
Implication 2: The other challenge to teachers is redesign of the environment and their own behaviour. It is much more difficult to see what is wrong with you and your methods than it is to see what is wrong with your students (Sugai, Horner, Dunlap, et al., 2000).
Question 2
1. The two most important things to establish are the rules of expected behaviour (and the disciplinary measures for breaking them) and the routines for efficient and respectful movement through the day (Rogers & McPherson, 2008).
2. I would add to this the idea of follow-through. When a teacher effectively establishes rules and routines, the children will expect them in the specified situations, and to omit them undermines the discipline you worked so hard to establish in the first place (Rogers, 2006).
Question 3
Negative outcome: According to Levin (2007), food, safety, belonging, and security are prerequisites for appropriate classroom behaviour (pg. 42). Belonging specifically is the feeling of being a welcome, worthwhile contributor. The degree of sense of school membership can inhibit or support academic participation (Goodenow, 1992). One consequence of not feeling a sense of community is the crippling fear of failure. Instead of risking failure, a student...
Reducing Turnover in New Graduate Residence Program Introduction- The process of recruiting and training, particularly in high-impact fields like healthcare, has become increasingly complex and expensive. Turnover is the rate at which an organization gains or loses employees. High turnover means that more employees are leaving more rapidly, which can be harmful to productivity and finances. Real costs of hiring including recruitment time, opportunity costs, and investment in both the new
, 2010). The model includes several mediator (e.g., knowledge exchange) and moderator variables (e.g., self-leadership competencies of actors) that explain why and when this approach is effective and looks at leadership in more of a comprehensive way than focusing on one individual. Such perspectives have suggested that when employees become involved in the decision making processes then this can strengthen leadership. Transactional Leadership Transactional leadership is the leadership model that represents what
Among the research findings in this regard was the view that field independent student are often more successful in the distance learning environment. Other factors such as introversion and extroversion were discussed and introverted personality types were seen to be more successful in the distance teaching environment. It was also found that extracurricular concerns can have both positive and negative course completion outcomes. Support from family or employer was
NPSAS was the only study in 1996 that encompassed the people who enrolled in the for-profit institutions which is why not even the very basic criteria of the for-profit sector and its educational setup has been well-recognized (Breneman, Pusser and Turner 2000; Chung, 2006).
