My name is Claudia Bishop, I have been a classroom teacher for thirty eight
years.
I also had been in Special Ed teacher. I hold two credentials: a
standard elementary school
credential, and I also hold special education credential.
I've had
various experiences as a classroom teacher,
most of which were all very wonderful years. i've taught
primary level children
as well as all levels of special education
and all ages of special education.
I've had a lot of experiences with students who have behavior concerns or
issues
oftentimes it can be aligned with some
special
special needs may have
some volatile behavior,
some behaviors that are aggravating to other children to say the
least, some persistent behaviors where they have to do the same thing over and
over again.
That can really can
be a huge distraction to kids who are trying to do their work.
I usually try to identify the behaviors that are not appropriate. You
look for behaviors that are going to take away from other students learning.
Now some kids are going to whisper or talk that's good, that's fine,
but if they're rocking or if they are shaking or if they're screaming out
it's very distracting to the other students and so
what you always try to look for is “what can I do as a classroom teacher to
redirect that behavior, and try to make it positive for kids in the classroom
because behavior outbursts sometimes have to do with frustration,
they can have to deal with
misunderstanding, they’re not understanding the concept
they can have taken, it have to do with just some emotional disturbance that that
that's the way that they act out.
In my experiences, I've had kids who
can
really cause chaos in a classroom, because that starts to escalate.
I’ve become wise to has to what are the antecedent behaviors before it
becomes huge escalation you try to remove the situation.
Hopefully you will have
some support in the classroom, oftentimes they come with
instruction leaving you aid and you would try to remove them from the classroom for a
limited time to have them de-escalate.
