An important role of the practitioner is to respect the wishes and views of parents and other carers, even if you disagree with them. Parents are also normally the people who know their children best therefore you must respect their views, you must also show respect for their cultural values and religious beliefs at all times. Communicate Effectively with Other Team Members: Effective communication in the workplace is essential when working with children. Knowledge of children and young people’s needs in all development areas is also extremely important when planning in advance when working with young people and will help to communicate effectively with in a work place.…
In order to build relationships and communicate effectively with children, you will have to adapt body language, behaviour and language accordingly. This will ensure that children feel listened to and valued in school. You need to adapt communication with children taking into account several…
An immediate intervention that could be used to mitigate Joey’s disruptive behavior is to establish a reward system. Joey’s disruptive behavior is motivated by a need for adult attention that manifests in the form of talking out of turn, loudly and off topic. The antecedents include: interrupting when the teacher gives attention to his classmates, talking louder if he feels he is being ignored, and off topic outbursts when he is disengaged or bored. Since this behavior persists all throughout the day, a reward system that focuses on reducing the frequency of his behavior would be most successful. The potential to spend one-on-one time with the teacher would be a reward that would eliminate the antecedents of this behavior, facilitate his need for adult attention, and have intrinsic value to Joey so that he is motivated to self-monitor his behavior.…
For this extended assignment I have chosen to look at how behaviour may affect children's or young people's development. Negative behaviour can be seen when the children's and young people's needs are not being met such as lack of sleep and when they are hungry. Difficult behaviour can be caused by a trauma or a crisis that has happened in the child's life. Children may show this kind of behaviour because they want to be the centre of attention or if they are not getting their own way and they may behave inappropriately in order to get their own way. Other examples that could affect children's behaviour include if a member of the family in the child's life such as mother or father has left and they may think that it's their fault .Also…
I am undertaking this project, as I am interested in exploring the social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEB) of children. I want to know how the resources and strategies can affect pupils’ learning and behaviour. As identified by Macdonald (2009) in Department of Education (DfE) (2010) this area is a key issue related to young children’s personal development that help them achieve the skills which will improve their outcome in future life. My focus research study point will be on SEN (Special Educational Needs) Reception aged pupils aged 4-5 in Key Stage 1 (KS1) in ST school with mild cognitive difficulties and to have a greater insight into understanding their social and emotional difficulties. With regards to my few years experience, working on a one- to-…
The behaviour of individuals within the classroom has the potential to affect the whole class and therefore effective management of these issues will benefit all. Ashley is a four-year-old child who enjoys physical activities but can become frustrated when she has to wait her turn or loses at a game. At times she has hit and kicked her peers at preschool- these instances have been documented. Ashley’s parents have mentioned that she also has trouble with these situations at home. Ashley’s behaviour could be affected by many factors from her social skill level to the classroom design.…
Dementia related Challenging behaviour. Non compliance, Aggression and Violence - due to disorientation, confusion or fear. Mrs X who has dementia related challenging behaviours can become frustrated and non compliant which can often lead to aggressive and violent outbursts. Mrs X lives in a residential care home where she wanders around the building on a daily basis re-enacting her working life as a hotelier, drawing curtains and blinds, moving tables and chairs etc. These behaviours can pose a risk to Mrs X, the residents and carers as well as creating disruption and conflict.…
(Cross Reference 1.1) Children often feel that that by being in school, surrounded by adults who are responsible and professional, that they feel safe and in an environment that they will continue to feel safe. Children are like sponges from an early age and so everything that they see and do will be potentially something they’ll copy or say. Choose the right vocabulary to use when talking to or near a child, avoid slang words for objects…i.e, “Would you like to go to the toilet?” & not “Would you like to go to the bog?” By showing your caring and always approachable nature, children will have trust in you and the future confidence in you.…
• Communicating with adults – it’s important that we are sensitive to the need of other adults, particularly if they have communication difficulties. It is possible that we will adapt with them without realising that. We often change the way we react to others, depending on the way in which they react to us. For example, if we are speaking to parent or carer, we might make sure that we are facing them and giving eye contact. Often schools will send our or gather information in particular way, email or letters.…
The basic idea of Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) is that the adults identify the contingencies and circumstances which can affect behaviours, and use them to strengthen, weaken or maintain behaviours (Schwieso & Hastings, 1986, p. 83; Lovitt, 2012, p. 253). The accent on behaviour modification is based on the assumption that as soon as the children are shown to be used to a new behaviour, usually welcomed by adults, they have ‘learnt’ something (Woolfolk & Margetts, 2013, p. 220). This paper will examine three major principles and a number of possible strategies for teachers to apply behaviour modification in a secondary school classroom.…
Assessment 6 Adele McSorley In this essay I will define challenging behaviour, describe four different forms and discuss how psychological theories help understand individuals behaviours. For the purpose of this report I have renamed services users in line with the Data Protection act 1998 to ensure that they have complete anonymity. Challenging behaviour can be used to describe ‘problem behaviour’, or ‘socially unacceptable behaviour’.…
For example if a child is having problems at home which is not being communicated to staff then it may affect that child’s behaviour or attitude to school. By being open to all involved, you can prevent this and be immediately aware of any issues and therefore assist that child in coping. If communication is effective parents/carers are more likely to contribute to and offer support to the school. Also Communication is important because it provides you with a link to between people.…
Having access to facilities where families can utilise equipment and resources with the aim to enhance socialisation for their children can greatly impact families as children are often excluded from social and or sporting events which form essential connections for the developing child. Isolation is often a factor of having a child with a disability or additional need as some areas may not accommodate these needs (Clarke, 2006). Each child is unique regardless of their impairment or needs, therefore accessing facilities and services that recognise this very important and an integral aspect in addition is essential for their continued growth and education. The Behavioural Perspective The phrase ‘child displays challenging behaviour’ is often misconstrued as the child has a disability or additional need.…
It is this issue that leads teachers to leave the profession, often due to the lack of guidance within a behaviour policy (Chaplain as cited in Cremin and Arthur, 2014). As identified by the Elton report (1989) “bad behaviour in schools is a complex problem which does not lend itself to simple solutions” (Visser, 2000). In response to this, the Steer report (2005) emphasises the need for teachers to utilise effective strategies and practices within the classroom, in order to raise the standards of behaviour (House of Commons Education Committee, 2011). Consequently due to recommendations formulated within these key reports, guidance published by the Department of Education (2012; 2014) has shaped the support that is offered to newly qualified and experienced teachers in managing behaviour. The Steer report (2005) alongside the House of Commons Education Committee (2011) acknowledge that providing teachers with the knowledge and understanding to deal with challenging behaviour will contribute towards the professional development of teachers, as well as their effectiveness to reflect upon their practice in helping children to perform better academically and in terms of their…
Inappropriate behaviour affects the classroom climate (Haydn, 2014) and is detrimental to the teaching and learning processes in schools, subsequently affecting the learner, other students, and the teacher (Elton Report, 1989). Therefore, acknowledging that without good discipline in schools, the standards…
