Assignment 1. Define “mistaken behavior” and “misbehavior”. Compare and contrast the two, and explain the value in having an understanding of developmentally appropriate practices and how can help teachers guide young children?
• Mistaken Behaviors
Mistaking behavior is a comprehensive guidance that professional teachers are developing to assist children through difficult situations. This guidance approach recognizes that children are in a process of development where they are learning skills to live in a democratic life, during this process children has many mistakes that are reflected at their behavior. The importance of this this concept is that teachers can understand that children can make mistakes, and they can learn from them. Instead, teachers and caregivers are the principal guidance for

Maybe they feel hungry, sick or tired. They have lack knowledge or experience. They feel stressed (something wrong or new is happening at house).
• Misbehavior
This discipline concept suggests that the children are doing intentional mistakes and teachers must discipline and punish to the child. At this wrong guidance teachers label children who misbehave calling names such as “naughty” “bad” “mean” “rowdy”, and also punish the child. Teachers who do this practice think that when the child get shame they will be behave good. These negative labels can affect with bad consequences to their behavior. The child will believe that they are the wrong label given.
As Ginott wrote in Teacher and Child (1972), “Firmness without harshness is essential in guidance. The adult who intervenes in the face of mistaken behavior often must be firm, but must be firm and friendly not firm and harsh”. The goal is to help children learn positive social skills from their mistakes; punish discipline cannot achieve this.

Many teachers are faced with the difficult task of managing their student’s behavior. Even if we
what should we do if we accidently hurt our friends? By asking questions and guiding Ewan to self-regulate, Ewan will become aware of peers needs and values along with being considerate of others and also to feel he has made the choice himself to get the icepack rather than being told to by educator. Porter (2014) defines that a Guidance approach does not want children to be compliant, but instead aim to teach to act considerately (p.16) it also helps them to think about the effects of their actions on other people (p.151). A guidance approach allows the educator to see Ewan had not deliberately tried to hurt or flick mud at Dryden, and this had simply been a natural childhood mistake. Porter (2008) suggests that when children act thoughtlessly, the response should be to teach more skilful behaviour, rather than punish them for natural childhood mistakes, as that would amount to punishing them for being children
Review: Throuout the quarter, I have learned that because children learn differently it’s important for us as teachers to make sure that the classroom rules are clear for all children. If there is confusion it’s important for us teachers to explain them so that the children are not confused. Because if the classroom rules are unclear or not communicated enoght to the children they will negect the rules and do what they want. In addition, if the children don’t get discipline at home or don’t have clear established rules at home those children will have a harder time adjusting to having to follow directions more than a child who has a regualr sechedule and clear rules in and outside the home. Finally, rules are pro-active tools because, with
Regardless of age, we all like to be noticed and praised for something good that we have done. Research has shown that in order to balance out a negative, we need to be given 6 positives. It is important therefore, to recognise and reward positive behaviour, especially for those pupils who perhaps need to be reprimanded more than others. Whilst it can be easier to simply react to the negative aspects of a child’s behaviour with “don’t do this, don’t do that”, it is also really important to point out what they are doing well, whether it’s sitting nicely, listening well, joining in, following instructions, etc. It is also important not to forget those children who always behave appropriately and openly praise them too. In the 1940’s BF
The mistaken behaviors that I identified, in this case, is that Sam acts like an obnoxious 2-year-old and temper tantrum. He wanders around the room, the center’s staff can’t get him to sit in the circle, he screams and disrupts everything, when he is asked to do something he starts kicking, scratching and butting his head into the teachers who’s with him. He causes giant hassles around to go to the bathroom, he’ll refuse to even pull down his pants, he wets in his pants. I believe that the Level Three-Strong Needs of mistaken behavior, it has been shown in this case. This level consists of a child’s inability to be able to cope with problems and they may act their anxieties, fears, frustrations, tantrums, hostility, Inattentiveness, fatigue
Helping children realise which behaviours are appropriate and responsible gor is paramount. Good, strong teamwork between adults will encourage good behaviour in children There are two ways we help teach children good behaviour, through positive reinforcement of good behaviours and negative reinforcement of bad
In “To Kill a Mockingbird”, in the 1930’s there was a small town in Alabama called Maycomb which was a very quiet and peaceful place but one day all that would change. “Is Mayella Powerful?” The endeavor for power in the story consists of race, class, and gender. For one thing Mayella Ewell is white and she is going against an African American, Tom Robinson, in court which gives her an advantage in the trial. Even though Mayella won the trial against Tom, she still has to go back to her trashy home to her abusive father. In addition Mayella knew she was going to win against Tom since she had an advantage over him. In the story “To Kill a Mockingbird”, Mayella is somewhat powerful.
Children need structure, guidance, and discipline. Keeping a close eye on one’s children will alert a parent as to when something is going wrong. Children are what they live, so teaching parent’s how to be good parent’s is not only going to benefit the parents but the children as well, instead of having monster heredity, them may have wonderful heredity genes for generations to
Shakespeare wrote Macbeth in 1606, during the reign of James I, who was James IV of Scotland before he became the King of England. James I, was a sponsor of Shakespeare’s theatre, so it is clear that Shakespeare’s work was affected by James I’s sensitivities. Murder and intrigue was a part of the Scottish Reign when James was growing, and in fact, James’s father was murdered when he was just a baby.
Authoritative teachers will often “try to catch their students being good” and will reinforce the good behavior, rather than focusing on the bad. (Iannelli, 2004). It is critical that teachers praise their students for their efforts. A teacher can teach the entire classroom by recognizing one child’s positive action. Children desire praise and they will learn appropriate behavior when their fellow students receive praise. When teachers focus on bad behavior and make an example of a particular student to the entire classroom, it only makes the child that is being reprimanded feel alienated, ashamed, embarrassed, or possibly revengeful.
‘The poor behaviour of some children affects not only their learning but also the learning of others.’ (Adams 2009, page 4) This suggests that poorly managed behaviour in the classroom can have a detrimental effect on learning overall, as well as individually. This assignment will analyse how behaviour and learning are inextricably linked. This assignment will also emphasise how primary classroom teachers develop behaviour management strategies in order to promote an effective and positive learning environment.
For this particular study, the researcher is instrumental to the measurement of the impact of diversity training. The hypothesis of the study is leaders with diversity training, who manage a diverse work team, experience higher levels of productivity. Multiple sources of data will be used in order to study full-circle when it comes to analysis and frame of reference. With the researcher as a key instrument, the researcher will collect data primarily through observation and the proceedings of the experiment will be recorded for later viewing, in order to broaden perspective and increase objectivity. (Creswell, 2014)
Children are going to continue to make mistakes, but they will learn from them just like adults do. So why would we punish them for it? When positive guiding children we can help them see and understand consequences from the choices they make. By using punishment instead of positive discipline can cause possible side effects, such as blocking open communications, punishment represses behaviour, but doesn’t deal with the behaviour, models a negative use of power, and to have continue effect it must escalate in order to remain it’s effectiveness. Using punishment as discipline will create a negative relationship between educator/parent and child. This could lead the child to have negative thoughts about themselves creating a low self-esteem.
Initially I define the two concepts of mistaken behavior and misbehavior, the first as error in judgment and action made in the process of learning life skills. Mistaken behaviors occur at three levels experimentation, socially influenced, and strong unmet needs. Teachers who use guidance see democratic life skills as difficult to learn, and they recognize that children are just at the beginning stages of a lifelong process of learning these skills. In the process of learning any difficult skill, children, like all of us, make mistakes. These teachers recognize that when children experiences conflicts it is because they have not yet developed the cognitive and emotional resources for more mature responses. The second Misbehavior. - The conventional term applied to conflicts that the child is involved in, resulting in consequences that often include punishment and the internalization of a negative label such a “naughty”. The complexity of teaching democratic life skills leads some adults to the misconception that young children know how to behave, they just choose to misbehave. When conflicts occur, teacher who focus on misbehavior tend to label the child’s character and attempt to shame the child into better behavior. Because of a lack of development and experience a child may internalize the negative message and act out even more. (Gartrell, 2014).
Classroom management and classroom discipline share a correlation with one another yet; they are uniquely different issues and should remain a separate focus of the teacher. (Cantor, 2006) Behavior and misbehavior also share a connection but represent different degrees of infraction. (Charles, 2008) This essay focuses on the differences and similarities of these topics and their relation to the classroom.
