...Canter’s Behavior Management Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle Thomas Morgan Grand Canyon University: EDU 536 July 2, 2012 Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle There are many examples of misbehavior that can occur in the classroom on a daily basis. These behaviors can range from small issues like talking in class to major issues such as fighting. These issues need to be handled as early as possible by the teacher to ensure that as less of a disruption to other students occurs. If other students become disrupted by the actions of a few then these students could very well begin to engage in the disruptive behavior and begin to now cause a whole new set of issues for the classroom. Another consequence of the teacher not addressing the misbehavior immediately is that the behavior can become harmful to others or the student themselves. As a teacher, student safety should be the most important thing that the teacher is worried about. Once these behaviors are corrected and other students see that the behavior will not be allowed in the class, then they will begin to formulate within themselves how they should act and perform in that manner. An effective method of classroom management that has been proven to work is Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle. These are steps that were developed by Lee Canter as a way of preventing and handling misbehaviors in the classroom. Case Study Sanchez is a 12 year old, fifth grader in my homeroom class. Sanchez was retained in the fifth...

...BEHAVIORAL SELF – MANAGEMENT CONTRACT J. Bellamy 26 October 2013 1.) Target Behavior – I would like to obtain an “A” grade as the outcome of my time spent in Psychology 103 - Introduction to Psychology. 2.) Baseline - At present, I spend 2 hours per week in lecture on Thursdays and generally spend an approximate additional 2 – 2 ½ hours per week studying the current chapter material. This includes but is not limited to reviewing the recorded lecture materials as well as reviewing the book chapter and my notes. This review is usually very haphazard and at the last minute; i.e., Thursday morning before the test that afternoon. My present study habits have resulted in my obtaining a “B” grade, thus far. This grade has met my expectations as far as outcome for the level of preparedness I have committed. 3.) Goal – I would like to work on prioritizing my time for Psychology study work. I intend to achieve this goal by setting a 1 hour block on Wednesday evening between 9-10pm, and an additional 2 hour block on Friday from 12 – 2pm to dedicate to Psychology each week. These times will require me to study the material while it is still fresh and every week, not just before an impending test. This plan will also allow me to set a firm schedule for my studying and prevent “cramming” by making the times planned events. With the planned out blocks of time, studying will not be “last minute” and will result in my obtaining the “A” grade I would like in this...

Lawler RE: Management Behavior Date: August 8, 2010 In the midst of the upcoming merger with EnviorTech, it is important that the managers maintain a sense of leadership, direction and dedication to the organization. The reason for the memo is to help management focus on three areas of improvement: - How a managers behavior can affect the productivity of his or her workers. - The types of management action that align with employment laws and those that do not. - Best practices for working within a diverse work environment. It will be up to us as managers to keep a positive attitude, and make sure our team members have a positive attitude. It has been noted that rude and disrespectful behavior of managers creates an atmosphere of mistrust and fear. As a consequence, has a negative impact on productivity and also increases the operational cost. The success of any business requires managers to help team members feel welcome. Managers must have an open- line of communication with an open door policy. As managers we must never be too busy to entertain questions or concerns from team members. When working with a diverse group of people, the manager’s communication style have an impact on the tone and eye contact which can enhance or negate the content of the message. We must lead by example; a manager who makes the work place an enjoyable environment will set the tone for a more productive work force. The easiest and most...

...At this time our company has been faced with a significant change through the merger with EnviroTech, Inc. This is a significant phase for both InterClean and EnviroTech when consolidating and I look forward to working with each of you as vital players in actively contributing to the long-term goals and success of this company. This memorandum is for you, as managers, to understand how to be prepared to adapt to the challenges of the merger, especially in regard to three particular areas: management behavior and productivity, management action that align with employment laws and best methods for working within an assorted background. Management Behavior and Productivity Management will conduct his or her actions in a positive and ethical manner according to company policies and procedures. High productivity is produced in an environment of contentment; proper guidance helps generate workplace satisfaction. Employees look to their supervisors not only for direction, but also for leadership and vision. Expectations can make or break a person’s performance. If a manager sets expectations too high, staff may experience a feeling of ineffectuality and function at a lower level. Similarly, if expectations are too low, an employee may only perform up to that standard and never reach full potential. Employees can experience confusion without someone showing them the way to be successful. Beyond personal expectations lies company policy. If a person is uncertain or...

...How a manager’s behavior can impact the productivity of his or her workers There are many factors which affect the productivity like materials quality, people skill, system & procedures, equipment & tool type, knowledge of worker, management skill, but the most important factor is attitude of superior. Appropriate leadership helps create a satisfying work environment conducive to high productivity. Managers’ behavior can help establish a positive open organizational climate, which will help its team members feel safe and be more productive at their job. For Example, if a manager knows that a certain person in his team is not aware of company policies then he or she should send that team member to the company training class that educates a person about company policies, which will give them more knowledge about the company. This will also make the employee feel valuable and he will look forward in coming to work and staying with the company. Unmanaged or destructive behavior of a manager can turn the best job into a miserable one. Subordinates not only loose their productivity and creativity, sometimes loose their workplace engagement as well. Rude behavior of manager creates an atmosphere of mistrust and fear, and as a consequence has a negative impact on productivity and also increases the operational cost. An employee, who is physically present but is under performing due to lack of inner commitment or their mental absence to his or her job, is one of the major cost elements...

...Discipline and Management: Different Yet Related Cynthia Shilcosky Grand Canyon University: EDU 535TE 07/27/2015 Discipline and Management: Different Yet Related Classroom management and discipline are terms that are very often used interchangeably in the education field. However, there are clear distinctions between the two and it is important for educators to be aware of these differences. Classroom management is the teacher’s responsibility and refers to how things are done. Discipline is the responsibility of both the teacher and student and can best be simply described as how people behave. A further, more in depth look at these terms and how they should be applied to a classroom setting follows. Classroom Management Classroom management begins before the students even step into the school at the beginning of the school year. Each teacher is challenged to create their own system of classroom management which encompasses many things. The personality of the teacher will strongly determine the types of classroom management they will use (Bullock, Coplan, & Bosacki, 2015). Classroom management requires procedures to be in place, plans to be prepared, organization of the classroom and materials, and structure (Ediger, 2013). Establishing procedures is the first major aspect of classroom management. This involves setting up routines for the students that will take place on a regular basis. As my students walk into my second grade classroom each morning, they know...

...Management Behavior Student’s Name: Institution: Management Behavior Question One In order to minimize the impact of deviant behavior at the work place, leaders should ensure that they lead by example. This means that they place themselves in the employees’ shoes. They ensure that employees are well treated that involves remunerating well, motivating and rewarding them. They instill a culture of honesty and virtues in them. Deviant behavior occurs when employees feel betrayed, or when they feel that they are being mistreated by the management. In order to reduce or eliminate instances of deviant employees, employers should encourage dialogue with them. This can be done through regular meeting, or even through the use of suggestion boxes. They encourage employees to be free to talk about issues within the organization that they feel should be changed. They may not like the way issues are addressed as good leaders and managers are good listeners as well. They understand the plight of the employee, treating them well as equal partners within the organization. Effective communication between leaders and their subordinates helps in building effective organizations. Proper communication skills will tackle problems of socialization and decision making. They should tackle laws and rules that employees feel are too stringent. Working hours should be flexible enough for the employees. Deviant behaviors are likely to reduce the output and...
