My simulation topic is. What resources are out their in high-quality programs to help students and teachers deal with behavioral issues in the classroom. I chose this topic because like I stated on the discussion board I see children with sauveur behavioral problems and most of the time it is so hard to teach the classroom because of certain children acting out, screaming, rude, and interrupting constantly in the classroom. For me I hate having to talk to a certain child everyday all day because I know it gets to the point that the child is shutting you out to. I never want to raise my voice, be mean, or even keep isolating a child from the rest of the children because I know a child can not learn from isolation.
So far with my research I am checking the web for peer reviewed journals, talking to my supervisor at Head Start on what we provide for services to teachers and children. I think this will be a great start for my research and I will be open to any suggestions or resources for my topic. I look forward to reading your comments.
Denice,
ReplyDeleteI have suffered the pain of 1 disruptive child taking over a classroom and I sympathize with any teacher going through that. Head Start has Mental Health professionals who can give you some guidance on research. Head Start here in Dallas uses a Mental Health component called Second Step. You may be able to find out about the research behind that component at http://www.tahoma.wednet.edu/SubSite/parentplace/secondstep.htm
I hope this helps.
Thanks Denice for discussing such an important issue that most teachers deal with daily. We know that most kids come with issues and problems before they reach us, but we need to be knowledgeable in how to handle these issues as most times they are just acting out their frustration. I cannot wait to keep checking in to see your results.

ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome topic. I deal with these behaviors on a daily basis and would love to have some new resources to pull from. I will check with our behavior specialist and see what resources I can gather for you. Good luck.
