Behavior Management Principles Behavior is learned and unlearned Antecedents:What happens before the misbehavior? Antecedents:What happens before the misbehavior? Behavior: What happens and is observable? Behavior: What happens and is observable? What do you want to change? Consequence:Positive reinforcement of behavior increases the behavior Consequence:Positive reinforcement of behavior increases the behavior (positive to student). Negative reinforcement decreases the behavior (negative to student).

All Misbehaviors Occur for a Reason How to Reduce Misbehaviors: Identify and modify any conditions that are reinforcing the behavior, Identify and modify any conditions that are reinforcing the behavior, Identify and eliminate any positive outcomes that are reinforcing the behavior, Identify and eliminate any positive outcomes that are reinforcing the behavior, Implement appropriate corrective consequences calmly and consistently.

Task 2: Understand Motivation How to encourage your students to succeed.

To Motivate To provide an incentive To provide an incentive To move to action To move to action To drive forward To drive forward

What Motivates You? List things you are motivated to do on the left side of your paper. List things you are motivated to do on the left side of your paper. List things you are not motivated to do on the right side of your paper. List things you are not motivated to do on the right side of your paper. Keep your lists – we’ll come back to it in a few minutes! Keep your lists – we’ll come back to it in a few minutes!

Major Concepts of Motivation Concept 1: When a behavior is engaged in, it demonstrates a level of motivation. When a behavior is engaged in, it demonstrates a level of motivation. If behavior does not occur it demonstrates a of motivation. If behavior does not occur it demonstrates a of motivation. repeatedly lack

Major Concepts of Motivation Concept 2: Motivation involves and Motivation involves and factors. factors. Concept 3: There is an important relationship between one’s intrinsic motivation to engage in a task and one’s at the task. There is an important relationship between one’s intrinsic motivation to engage in a task and one’s at the task. (If you’re good at a task then you want to do it a lot!) intrinsic extrinsic proficiency

Expectancy X Value Theory Expectancy = degree you expect to be Expectancy = degree you expect to be at a task Value = degree you value the that accompany that success Value = degree you value the that accompany that success successful rewards

The Formula Expectancy Rate X Value Rate = Motivation Guess what? If either rate is zero, then motivation is also zero! “O” = NOT motivated or NO Value “10” = Highly motivated or Highly Valued

How the formula works… Example – page 200 in CHAMPs Example – page 200 in CHAMPs Grocery shopping:Expectancy = 8 Value = 5 8 X 5 = 40% motivation Playing with my dogs:Expectancy = 10 Value = X 10 = 100% motivation

In Summary Student behavior will let you know what they are motivated & not motivated to do Student behavior will let you know what they are motivated & not motivated to do Use both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation Use both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation Remember students’ motivation is related to the degree they value the rewards and their expectation of succeeding…… Remember students’ motivation is related to the degree they value the rewards and their expectation of succeeding……

What does this mean? If your students are unmotivated first find out if it’s a question of: If your students are unmotivated first find out if it’s a question of: Do they value the task and/or the reinforcement? Do they value the task and/or the reinforcement? Do they expect to succeed? Do they expect to succeed? Consider what they believe, NOT what you believe they can do. Consider what they believe, NOT what you believe they can do. Consider what reinforces THEM, not what reinforces you. Consider what reinforces THEM, not what reinforces you.
