During observations, there were many different examples of classroom management. A proactive strategy I saw in a grade 1 class was pre-tearing the paper towels for when students wash their hands. I have seen students in other situations washing their hands and pumping lengths longer than they are tall so this was something I noticed right away as it addressed that behavior before it could even take place. The students all knew to take a piece from the basket rather than reaching for the dispenser.
During the psychology lecture for Foundations of Education on October 16th, one of the scenarios that was discussed was when a student starts to drag their heels and hates attending school due to learning disabilities and not learning at the same pace as other students. Their struggle to learn results in stubborn behaviour because learning is very difficult for them.
