4 functions of behavior

1. attention

2. access- to gain access to an event/ object/person/etc

3. escape- attempt to leave a situation

4. sensory stimulation- students may be overwhelmed, leading them to act out

proactive behavior management

• routines

• structure

• appropriate lessons

• positive relationships with students

• clear stop and go signals

reactive behavior management

• proximity

• verbal reminders

• redirecting

• time- out

• private conversations

why students may act out

• triggered

• not getting attention at home

• no apathy

• lack of self confidence

• undiagnosed

5 types of feedback

• specific

• congruent

• simple

• postive/ neutral

• negative

what is congruent feedback?

directed to the cues/ lesson

an example of a psychomotor assessment

• checklist

• rubrics

• skills testing

an example of cognitive assessment

• exit slips

• tests

examples of affective assessment

• journal entries

• peer assessments

informal vs. semi formal assessment

• informal- not used for a grade, can be in the middle of class, not standardized

• semi- formal- can be used for a grade, standiarized

formative vs. summative assessment

formative- in the middle of class/unit

summative- end of unit testing

directed vs. indirected instructional approach

direct is teacher centered, indirected is children centered

interactive approach

most direct and common, teacher centered

task teaching approach

stations or task-oriented, self paced, still direct but a tad indirect

peer teaching

groups, more indirect, students have to feed off each other but the task is from teacher

guided discovery

more indirect, allows students to explore

2 types of guided discovery

convergent- 1 right answer

divergent- multiple answers

cooperative learning

more indirect, group work, affective and cognitive benefits

child- designed instruction

most indirect, seen more in gymnastics, students are the center of activity

what are the instructional approaches

• interactive

• task teaching

• peer teaching

• guided discovery

• cooperative learning

• child- design instruction

teaching by invitation

giving students a choice (different equipment, skills to incorporate, etc)

Intra-task variation

giving different versions of the same task
