The incident originated with Lenny who bit Jessica on her arm during recess hours at the gym. Some of the factors that contributed to this situation were the recess inside the gym due to weather conditions, Lenny’s characteristics of ADHD not being properly diagnosed, not giving proper assistance to Lenny, and not having a well supervised setting during recess.

According to the text, Lenny was a hyperactive student whose actions were triggered by loud noises, bright lights, and games. After examining Lenny, I would implement different strategies and accommodations to decrease his hyperactivity. Acknowledging the hyperactivity of the student, I would ask for assistance to provide individual support to Lenny until his behaviors are well controlled. During difficult circumstances, due to weather condition when students spend their recess inside the gym, I would allow Lenny to walk around with supervision rather than forcing him to stay still within his group because many of the factors mentioned that trigger his behavior are exposed in that area. When reporting the incident to Lenny’s parents, I would have considered to properly introduce myself, state the positive actions Lenny has made throughout that period of time, ask parents if they had seen similar behavior at home, and then explain the incident. Knowledge: The information that would have been beneficial to Sara includes, having communication with various teacher and support staff and analyzing and assessing the ABC’s of Lenny’s behavior. Also, taking in consideration the cultural background of the student may have allowed Sara to take a different approach when contacting parents avoiding misunderstandings.
Many children await the day when they can be considered grown up. For them it represents a time where they possess more rights and privileges. However, for middle children which are between the ages of 7 through12 this time may seem more like a nightmare because it marks the time when they undergo physical and mental changes. These physical and mental changes have a major impact on their development. The subject in this scenario is a little boy named Mark who is being bullied at school by a group of older boys to the point that he has received bruises from the encounters. As a result, Mark dislikes going to school for the fear of being embarrassed or hurt and the looming threat of recurring bodily harm if he asks for help from the teachers. This situation has become so serious that Mark is barely eating and has withdrawn himself from his peers in efforts to avoid the boys who are bulling him. After examining the above scenario, this paper will explain Mark’s different issues based on signs of biosocial, cognitive and psychosocial development and discuss what should be done to help Mark succeed in his current situation based on research.

You have to contact with the parents. It’s tied to your APPR, you know (with a threatening tone).” I said, “Mrs. Thiam, I don’t know why you have an impression that I don’t communicate with the parents. I had meetings with Paris’s grandmother and Jayjuan’s mother; I spoke to Noah and Titus’s mother, Jamier’s mother and sent a letter to Russel’s mother, too (just to give Mrs. Thiam some examples). Evan’s problem has just started a couple of weeks ago.” Mrs. Thiam said, “You know why? It’s because of Russell. Evan sees what Russell does and Evan thinks it’s ok to do the same. So, you are contacting the parents, that’s good.” I said, “Yes, by the way Mrs. Thiam, I am the one telling students not to tell me what happened in the classroom or how bad he was. If you have good news (about Evan), share that with me. I always start new.” She did not say anything. I continued, “But when it happened (as I pointed the write up), I was very vulnerable.” Mrs. Thiam said dismissively, “Of course.” “I continued, “I do not feel safe, and I do not feel safe for the rest of the class. My job is not only to care for Evan, but also to teach and protect the rest of the class.” Mrs. Thiam said, “Of course” again

Contrasted with the previous placement, the composition of students was generally the same ability level, however they were considerably less inclined to have conduct concerns. In this classroom, there were tw0 children who received SPED instruction for reading, and two more for Math, and two more who received accommodations for both, totaling 6 students. One student was medicated for ADHD and was able to manage his behavior with support from myself and my cooperating teacher. At that point in time, I did not have students who qualified for any programs such as PASS (Positive Approach to Student Success), so my teacher an I elected to utilize the ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) philosophy in order to address concerns about behavior or academic performance that could be linked to a traumatic or chronic life event(s). All of these processes come together to support Bailly’s commitment to developing responsible leaders and

When implementing a discipline program, it is important that a teacher identify the difference between misbehavior and off task behavior. Misbehavior is a more serious action and should be treated accordingly. Misbehavior includes actions that are pre-meditated, habitual, unsafe, or demeaning. Off-task behavior includes actions like, talking out of turn or with other students, doing activities other than what the teacher has assigned, and lack of following instructions. While both types of behavior cause unwanted classroom distraction and should not be tolerated, there is an important difference between the two that must be identified. In the case of off-task behavior, the strategy to guide the student back on-task may require imposing a consequence as well as making an adjustment to the classroom management plan in order to re-route the student. In the case of misbehavior, imposing a consequence along with the addition of recruiting support from parents or administration may be needed to retrain the behavior.(Ross, 2009)
