BM plan

As of this week, so far I have chosen the student that I am going to do my plan on in my class. I actually worked with this student for my case study so this should work out well. I chose to do this student, especially because lately he has been very aggressive towards other students. The other day he pushed another student on the playground and then he gotten written up with a referral to the office. As far as my data collection is concerned, I have just been taking anecdotal notes on his daily interactions with students.

Salend Chapter 7

One of the most important points that Salend hit on in Chapter 7 was to employ relationship building strategies. Not only does this build a relationship with your students, but it also promotes positive behavior in the classroom. In the classroom, I have found it very useful to use the strategies Salend discusses to promote postive behavior. The strategy that I often use and appeals to me the most is to use humor in the classroom. Not only does using humor develop postive self esteem, but it also makes your students feel at ease and more comfortable in the classroom.
