...Running Head: Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle: A Case Study Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle: A Case Study It only takes one student, whose disruptive behavior impacts the entire learning environment of the whole class. Disruptive behavior can be any behavior that bothers, interferes with, disturbs, or prevents effective learning (Canter, 2006). Disruptive behavior can be broken down into three categories: verbal behavior, physical movement, and participation in an activity. The largest category of disruptions can be found in verbal behavior (Canter, 2006). The following case study deals with classroom disruptions of verbal behavior. Case Study Eric is 15 years old. He is a sophomore at Everyday High School. Eric was a very good student last year with little behavioral issues. However this year, Eric has been displaying disruptive behavior in the classroom. Over the summer, Eric’s parents got divorced. Eric’s dad, Dennis, was having an affair, and moved in with his girlfriend thirty miles away. Eric’s mom, Julie, caught Dennis cheating on her which tore her to pieces. Julie has not taken the split of very well. She has begun drowning her sorrows with the heavy use of alcohol. Julie is also meeting with a counselor to help her work through this tough issue in her life. She has been having so much trouble dealing with the situation, that she sent Eric to live with her parents...

...The Behavior Management Cycle is a systematic approach that will help teachers to motivate their student to quickly follow their directions. (Canter, L. 2006) This helps to maximize instruction time. There are three steps to the Behavior Management Cycle. Step one is to effectively communicate the explicit directions you expect students to follow. Step two is to use behavior narration to support students who are following the directions. Step three is to take corrective action with students who are still not complying with the directions. (Canter, L. 2006) In a fifth grade classroom the teacher is conducting a math lesson on multiplying two digits by two digits. The class earns points when students are following direction. They are day two of a six day reward period. The reward they are working towards is to have 20 extra minutes of recess. The teacher has explained that she wants them to learn how to follow directions. There are also consequences if they choose not to follow directions. The first time the students do not follow the directions they receive a warning. The second time is that they lose five minutes of recess. The third time is a call home to their parents and the fourth is that they are sent to the principles office. The teacher and the students discussed this at the beginning of the school year and have agreed to these consequences. Lee and Sarah are two students in Mrs. Smith’s class. Lee and Sarah have been disruptive to the class by talking out and not following...

...Behavior Management Cycle Paula Martin Grand Canyon University EDU 536 October 15, 2012 Behavior Management Cycle It is a Tuesday morning and the bell has just rung. Most students are making their way to their classroom lines preparing to be escorted to class. The kindergarten playground that was once buzzing with activity is now quiet with six lines slowly being formed. Ms. M. has moved through the crowd of parents and has found her line. Ms. M. claps her hands three times and pauses. Students are familiar with this routine and begin looking in Ms. M.’s direction. She claps her hands three times again and several students clap three times in return. She then walks along the line and claps three times again. This time the entire class turns their bodies to the front of the line and they all clap three times in unison. Students are waiting for Ms. M. to speak and give the class direction. This paper will explain how Ms. M. addresses a situation created using Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle. This particular student often has difficulty transitioning and following directions. Explicit Directions Ms. M. stands in the front of her line and signals for her class to quiet their voices by placing her hand in the air in the peace symbol, this is a signal students are familiar with and have practiced from day one of school. She now has the class’ attention and she is now ready to give her students their first direction of the day. “Yesterday my class had a very...

...Nicole Sahlin November 28, 2012 EDU-536 Canter’s Disruptive Behavior Case Study Every teacher has had that one student who talks out during class, students who do not raise their hand and just carries on when you are trying to teach a lesson. You spend most of your lesson time trying to bring the class back on track rather than teaching. Canter’s has come up with a behavioral management cycle to help teacher’s rectify the bad behavior. Background on Kirra Kirra is 12 and a 5th grader at Manchester Township Elementary School her teacher is Mrs. Mills. Kirra lives with her mother, father, younger brother, and an older sister. Kirra’s home life is unfortunately anything but peaceful and calm. Her mother and father are constantly fighting with each other about money and the children. Kirra’s older sister Christina is the root of several of the family drama as well. Christina sneaks out and does not come home until three in the morning; she also sneaks people in and usually is very loud at night when Kirra is trying to sleep. Kirra also suffers from several health conditions, such as cyst in her ovaries and high blood pressure. Every month it seems that she is in and out of the hospital trying to discover what is causing the high blood pressure. On top of Kirra’s toxic home life and also her health issues Kirra does not have it easy at school either, when she was in fourth...

...Improving Classification in Criminal Profiling The article I chose to do is Improvement of Thematic Classification in Offender Profiling: Classifying Serbian Homicides Using Multiple Correspondence, Cluster, and Discriminant Function Analyses written by Alasdair Goodwill, Jared Allen, and Dag Kolarevic. The research they conducted was about finding new and improved ways, through thematic classification of certain homicides, to profile the possible offender. In their research they conducted two separate homicide investigations from to very different regions being Serbia and North Korea. Their goal was to use a new method of profiling to initially obtain the perpetrator and prove that the new way of profiling does indeed work efficiently. They worked these separate cases by using traditional profiling methods and researching methods such as sample, variables and data coding, and analysis of crime scene behavior. Their findings resulted in the conclusion that in the homicides, high frequency behaviors resulted in murder and they were able to pinpoint this in the relevant homicide cases as well. They did note some limitations of their research being, the variables such as the firearm used in the homicide and the particular offenders life. This relates to me because this is part of what I want to do as a career in my future. Most people may not be able to relate well to it otherwise. Works Cited Goodwill, Alasdair M., Jared C.

...Who Are Criminal Profilers? Rebecca Wiltshire Colby-Sawyer College Criminal profilers mix both the world of psychology with criminal justice. The field itself is fairly new and often time’s profilers don't always agree on methodology or even terminology. The term "profiling" is popular among the public because of media interoperations such as “The Silence of the Lambs” and “Criminal Minds”. However the FBI calls its form of profiling “criminal investigative analysis”; another profiler, a prominent forensic psychologist, calls his work “investigative psychology”; and another calls his “crime action profiling” only further proving the lack of agreement in terminology (8). Often a criminal profiler is thought to be a perceptive unknown or an unconventional intellectual who can solve crimes by trusting a combination of intuition and strong insight into the criminal mind (9). Criminal profiling is a method used by criminal investigators to develop profiles for murders, rapists, and other violent criminals who haven't been arrested yet (4). Profilers rely on perceptive trail and error to predict others’ behavior. They use the growing knowledge from psychiatry, psychology, criminology, and sociology, and utilize each in the field of criminal profiling. (3) Like in every job, criminal profilers have specific responsibilities that their job entails. It is a world of investigation and research impacted by inductive and deductive reasoning, crime-solving experience and knowledge of...

...Carson has come to his new school discouraged and to the point of “giving up on education”. Carson has been pushed through the system and has been labeled as trouble maker because no one took the time to respect what was taking place. By applying Lee Canter's behavior management cycle, I am going to demonstrate that after a very short period of time, Carson will begin to thrive through the guidance of his teacher and peers, while emerging as a successful young adult. I will also show the importance of the classroom environment that Carson will enter and how it relates to his future success. By implementing Carson into my management plan I had to sure he would start out on a positive note and let him know that he had a voice. Canters plan was simple but for a student with a bulling background it would provide Carson the tools he needed to begin. During his first day of homeroom, students were busy preparing for a busy and fun day. I interacted with them in a calm, insistent, and consistent manner. Lee...

...Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle There’s a lot ways to handle a student disruptive behavior in the classroom. However, in this paper this will discuss the benefit of how Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle can benefit a child behavior. In this paper I will describe a child personality, behavior and how I will handle the student in my classroom. On page 72, the Canters’ insisted “The Canters’ approach urged teachers to “take charge” in the classroom and showed them how to do so- just what teachers were looking for at a time when prevailing permissiveness was making teaching ever more difficult” (Canters, 2001, pg. 72). This is a powerful tool that helps the teacher manage a discipline plan to address disruptive students. The Canters’ Cycle is a model that helps the teacher not only addresses disruption, but yet, allows students to learn and change the behavior. Every teacher has a disruptive child in their classroom. There is one specific child that always does something to interrupt. Sometimes a child may not have to do the big things but also, their small disruptive behaviors than cause disruption. There was a child name Joe and he was eight years old. He has his ways in getting the teacher attention, which I can never see to understand why he continue do the things he did. He was funny, lazy, and never seem to pay attention in class. There are students that sometimes seem to fall off track, but Joe seems to fall off track every time. His behavior was an everyday thing which...

...University: EDU. 536 Jan. 23rd, 2014 Lee Canter, and his wife Marlene, are both teachers who, in 1976,, came up with their own method for discipline, and behavior management, which became one of the most popular methods used by teachers. It was called” assertive discipline”, and put forth the idea that the teacher should take charge of the classroom. The Canter’s stated that, “that students had a right to learn in a calm, orderly classroom, and teachers had a right to teach without being interrupted by misbehavior.” (Building Discipline, 11th ed., Charles) Hence, assertive discipline was born. It encourages students to make good, positive choices. Like the Wong’s. The Canters also believed that there should be procedures for the classroom, and they should laid down, and taught at the beginning of the school year. Now we all know that as much as we would like to think that our students are going to enter the classroom quietly, sit in their desks with their hands folded, waiting for our instructions, and hanging on our every word, the reality is that is never going to happen. Just asking them to take out a pencil and piece of paper could create a major catastrophe. Classroom , and behavior management is vital in creating a great learning environment. Canter said, “The foundation of managing classroom behavior rests upon your ability to motivate students to simply follow your directions. (Classroom Management for Success, Canter 2006). Knowing that students will misbehave,...

...Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle: A Case Study Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle: A Case Study Effective teachers are aware that they must motivate students to quickly follow directions and to get on and stay on task to insure and increase time for learning (Canter, 2006). Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle is based on a three step process to effectively communicate directions, reinforce those directions with behavioral narration, and taking appropriate corrective action for those who still chose to not comply with direction. Utilizing Canter’s cycle will assist teachers in handling misbehavior. A Case Study Luke is a tenth grade student in Mrs. Flanagan’s American History class. He is very popular because of his talent on the basketball court and only comes to school to play sports. He keeps his grades just high enough to remain on the team and puts forth little effort in his work but enjoys being the center of attention on and off the court. In the past, teachers have allowed him to get by with poor effort and classroom disruptions, so he continually talks and calls out during lessons. When assignments are due, Luke either “forgets” the assignment or comes up with some kind of excuse, actually utilizing the classic “my dog ate it” which gets a laugh from his classmates. Other students find Luke’s behavior entertaining and get off task to join in. Mrs. Flanagan is becoming more and more frustrated with Luke’s behavior, not only his class disruptions, but...

...Canter's Behavior Management Cycle: A Case Study David is a five year old boy who from the very beginning displayed disruptive behavior inside and outside of the classroom. His teacher has logged his behavior, asked her administrators for support, and has referred the child for a behavioral evaluation. During this time the teacher spoke with the child’s parents who stated that his behavior was similar at home. They also shared that the majority of his disruptive behavior seemed to be his way of seeking attention. During this time David’s behavior was growing more and more disturbing and aggressive. Based on the teachers observation logs, David had difficulty getting along with other children and consistently did not follow directions. On any given day, David hits, yells, or knocks things out of peer’s hands to gain the teachers attention or get something he wants. During some part of the day David is physically aggressive toward one or two peers, this usually includes kicking or punching. Most of the children have learned to ignore him or stay away from him. When it comes to his academic skills he is at level. Although David has the skills to complete assignments or activities he is rarely unable to do so. Most of the issues begin when directions are given and when peers are working. The behaviors escalate when he is redirected. As the disruptive behavior continues the teacher begins to run out of patience with David and begins to call attention to every negative action...
