Positive Reinforcement

This encourages the child to continue the positive behaviour and they will be rewarded with positive attention and something for example as a toy or treat.

Practical, positive teaching strategies for challenging behaviour within an inclusive classroom should focus on student outcome. A confident teacher attitude decreases the intensity of challenging behaviour through acceptance of the student. Furthermore, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) targets challenging behaviour while explicit instruction and diverse assessment focus on overcoming learning difficulties. Parent collaboration assists in supporting and understanding the student’s needs.

As long as humans still exist, so will crime. Unless it would be possible to stop human urges to commit crimes, outside forces can only prevent so much. I believe we would need both positive behavior reinforcement and negative sanctions to create a more effective criminal punishment system and prevent future crimes. Here’s what I believe we would need to do in order to achieve that:

A positive reinforcement I always use with my children. When it first came down to potty train was very hard. I was talking to other mothers about potty training. They told me every time they use the pot to give them a treat or take them to the dollar store to get a toy. When they just feel like they don’t want to go to the bathroom to spank them. So I told myself it wasn’t going to work at all. So about a week later I try it. It work some days but not all but if they did use it or didn’t I gave a reward or they got a spanking. I soon realize my oldest daughter feel like if I continue to buy pull ups she was going to continue to wear them. So I stop buying them and start buying her panties she went to the bathroom with no problem and till this

When talking about positive reinforcement, I believe it is a great and effective strategy for teachers to implement in their classroom. In my readings, I found an interesting strategy to keep up the positive reinforcements for students. In this example, a teacher put 10 pennies into her right pocket and moved a penny to her left pocket every time she found a way to recognize the positives in a student.(Kaiser & Rasminsky, 2012) I believe that this strategy would work really well for maintaining positive reinforcement in the classroom. I know that sometimes teachers start off really strong and they fade out the longer they're in the classroom. With a strategy like this where there is a set number that the teacher needs to meet every day the

The best practice for coaching is positive reinforcement. Implementation of positive reinforcement will be conducted by supervisors have a daily huddle at the beginning of the work day. In the daily huddle emphasis on importance of safety and attention to detail to will stress the organizations

After observing some lesson teachers explained to me why they believe reward systems are important. Some respondents explained that is gives children a guideline of what type of behaviour you expect in class, it shows the children that if they behave in a certain way they will get rewarded which also encourages other children to behave well also. Another respondent from key stage two explained that rewards help them to control challenging behaviour whilst other teachers said rewards help to increase a child’s self-esteem and children like being praised for doing something positive.

Four teachers in inclusive elementary classrooms in a rural school system in Southwestern Pennsylvania were challenged with educating students with behavior issues. Positive statements were increased were while decreasing negative statements. Current studies show the effects of positive and negative behaviors in an inclusive classroom. A teacher’s attitude to a students is a source of reinforcement. If a teacher displays a positive attitude in an situation, good or bad, then the outcome

Children are often encouraged to try their best and work hard for their achievements when doing things like playing sports. Every parent wants their child to be the best and be recognized for doing a good job, especially if they are the best at it. But is giving out trophies to everyone essential in encouragement or should only the winners receive the gold? These two authors discuss when it is appropriate to give children trophies and when it is not.

Positive reinforcement, an aspect of Operant Conditioning, can be used by educators in order to increase desired behaviors, and reduce undesired behaviors, in preschool aged students. While the main focus of this article is positive reinforcement, it is noted that negative reinforcement has been the commonly used technique/solution to the problem of classroom management. Once an educator recognizes what truly motivates a subject they can use positive, or negative, reinforcement to increase/decrease the likelihood of certain behaviors. Through the understanding (and ultimate application) of behavioral psychology, an educator can better understand their students and teach young students acceptable classroom behavior. Furthermore, by transitioning from negative reinforcement, to positive reinforcement as a behavior management technique, members of

A roommate is wanting to lose weight to increase his chances of joining the football team. If he were to ask me to help design a program of weight loss for him, I would need to shape him from ground zero on how he should behave for the rest of the weight loss process. The most efficient way of doing this would be to use positive reinforcements to improve his likelihood of working out more, thus losing weight. There are small doses of positive reinforcement that will increase his drive for working out and bigger rewards in the form of an incentive when he reaches his weight loss goal every week. With these stimulants of positive reinforcement, my roommate will hopefully reach his weight loss goal.

In current years, there has been an expanding importance on the utilization of 'positive behaviour reinforcement' as a method for enhancing behavioral measures among young learners. Previously, punishing terrible behaviour may have been the standard reaction of teachers to classroom issue. Presently there is a developing agreement that positive reinforcement is the more successful technique for enhancing children's conduct in the long-term. Positive reinforcement can support great conduct in young learners from an early age. Positive reinforcement can either be a reward for good conduct, or just positive communication in the form of praise. This kind of reinforcement is usually more effective than punishing a child for his or her bad behaviour.

During my first class, students were asked to go to the board and answer the bell work that was posted. After each student answered the question, the teacher and students praised them with a simple clap. I noticed how it made every student smile and it created a learning environment for all students were empowered. My second class, praise was given via treats when a student got the correct answer for a problem. My third class, positive reinforcement went far beyond just being praised by getting a correct answer or good behavior. I had noticed that a student was having trouble with setting up their Chromebook, so another student came over to allow him to use his. I had no idea that the teacher was paying attention to this good deed. During class, he set a piece of candy on his desk, the student replied with “what is this for” and the teacher continued with his lesson. I thought this was really empowering to do as an educator because teaching is about life lessons. It is about helping students become self-reliant and capable adults. A classroom where the teacher encourages positive student and classroom behavior provides the opportunity for beneficial learning inside and outside of the classroom. In all of my classroom, I concluded that these teachers are proactive. These teaches entails a conscientious effort to deal with expected difficulty. All of these teachers had high standards for their students, set limits, and most

As kids grow up they begin to start learning more and more about themselves, and they typically act the way, they were raised, or the people or things they grew up around. I have three siblings, two older sisters and one younger. I learned that me, and my two older sister were raised differently than my little sister growing up. My younger sister is still eleven years old, and she still has time to develop. As children me and my two older sister never really acted the way she acts today. Yes, she is still young, however she has a lot of listening issues, and she seems to always want to do her own thing. She does things that can get herself into trouble with my mother, but she continues to do them anyway. First I will be analyzing and trying to figure out what kind of reinforcement will work to getting her to listen to us when we tell her to do things. Things like, homework: to be exact, chores, etc. Which reinforcement will work better positive or negative? I am arguing the theory that negative reinforcement is not as impactful as positive reinforcement. In my opinion I believe negative reinforcement would work better because I believe it is a harsher than positive reinforcement.

Teacher’s perception of the cost and benefit ratio was crucial in considering the intervention as beneficial. Her responses, “But I think overall, the interventions help rather than letting the kid sit in the classroom and not have anything to make things better” (34-36), and “it is better than them standing and running around the room. It is less of a distraction” (248), reflect the teacher’s comparison between the cost and benefits of interventions. She identified “getting their energy out”, “calm them”, task completion, and cooperative behaviors as some of the benefits of interventions. In contrast, classroom disruptions and off-task behaviors were identified as the cost of the intervention.
