This is a great post! I really like the positive approach to behavior and reflection. Often times, we don't get to the "why" with students. We need to help students understand their motivation and actions. Some of the points Ferlazzo made I will test out.

<p>I am going to do my student teaching next semester and I feel that you had a lot of great ideas. I like the "no more phone calls for bad behavior." Since I am in going for a secondary education in mathematics, I feel that students need to respect the teacher and more importantly the other students in the room. I know that a phone call home would not due much for students who don't care, but I feel that is a small portion of the class. I have see teacher do a phone call home to let their parents know how well their students have done or behave in their class. My parents received a phone call like this with my sister last year. My parents felt very proud of her that she was the only student who received an A on the test.</p>
<p>We have talked about a "secret sign" in my classroom management class. I see this being a very effective tool for students who don't know when they are being disruptive to the whole. I have seen this tool be used before while observing a teacher. The teacher had a student who talked a lot and would not stop. Every time the teacher went over to him, she would give him the worksheet to start working so he would not be disruptive during the lecture. I felt that this help him focus on a task while all the other students were trying to learn.</p> Thank you so much for reading…tag:www.classroom20.com,2014-02-04:649749:Comment:9935742014-02-04T14:34:34.458ZKaren Cameronhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/KarenCameron

<p><strong>No more phone calls about bad behavior<em><br></br></em></strong>Instead of calling the parents of a student who was not behaving well, Ferlazzo suggests telling disruptive students that you will <em>not</em> be calling their parents—at least not <em>that</em> day.</p>
<p>Instead, let them know that the <b>phone call will wait until the following week</b> so that you can report all the good things they’ve done and how they’ve improved in the last week.</p>

<p>I love this idea! Although the immediacy of punishment is important in decreasing future disruptive behaviors, this approach gives the student motivation to change the behaviors instead of relying only on punishment, which is less effective than positive & negative reinforcement and also leads to numerous pernicious side-effects, like increased aggression.</p> This was a really helpful pos…tag:www.classroom20.com,2014-02-02:649749:Comment:9928602014-02-02T00:52:04.707ZCaitlin Matthewshttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/CaitlinMatthews
This was a really helpful post! I had never thought of creating a secret sign to use with a student. I know that it is never fun to be disciplined in front of the whole class so it would be nice to have a more subtle way of telling the students to stop. I also love the idea of regular student reflections. They will have the ability to set goals for themselves and follow through with them. This will help them to become more self aware not just in the classroom! I wanted to add a little bit to…

This will help them to become more self aware not just in the classroom! I wanted to add a little bit to the "No more calls about bad behavior" along with calling for disruptive students, teachers should call home simply to brag for the students who are doing great in class! Can you imagine as a parent getting a call from the school just to talk about how awesome your kiddo is! :) Well put, Carolyn.

<p>I find it best to really get to know students that are misbehaving. They have stories that are often so bad that I often admire them despite their misbehavior. Get to know them better, respect them and they will respect you back. Despite what they say....everyone wants their teacher to like them!</p>

<p>A healthy classroom needs to be developed to tackle such situations. Perceiving the children mind can be a tough task but it's more important when it comes to tackling the challenging ones. Ac Christopher said, Secret signs is one of the best ways to this, such techniques actually seem to work and i agree to his experiences as well Thanks Chris!!</p>
