Lesson 12 - Amanda N.

This week, we studied how to respond to student behavior. We also learned about two different kinds of behavioral supports, which are positive behavioral and intervention supports (PBIS) and positive behavior supports (PBS). The purpose is to reinforce both positive and negative behavior for students without using forms of punishment. Teachers should have set classroom rules and expectations for their students to follow and it is important to always go through the expectations. We also got to look at different case studies in groups. The scenario I learned about was a second grader who had transferred from a different school and he did not know what the classroom rules were and he struggled with his behavior. The teacher and class should make him feel welcome and help explain to him the class expectations.
