What’s a Problem in Your Classroom?How can you:Show empathy for that problem?Lay the problem back on the student?Ask them if they’d like to hear how others would handle that problem?Give the worst case scenario first:Ask every time how that would work for them.Tell them you are all out of ideas to let you know when they have it worked out.Positive Interventions and Effective Strategies Riffel -© 2005 - 40 -
WhiningI did a search on the Internet looking to see what others did with classroom whiners and couldn’tbelieve the negative things I found. One teacher actually made a “Whiner’s Trophy” which consistedof a cup with Kleenex; which, she placed on her student’s desks when they whined. Most of thesuggestions focused on giving the class tokens and then taking them away when they whined. This isresponse cost and research supports the fact that this doesn’t work.Here’s response cost and how I see it used in classrooms:Red, Yellow, and Green cards in library pockets with each child’s name on a pocketMoney system where students are given amount and totals subtracted for misdeedsStars crossed out when misdeeds occurWhatever the system… it’s all response cost. What happens when the card is on red, or the money isgone? You have just given the child permission to be as “bad” as they want because they have nothingleft to lose.I teach a University class called “Applied Behavior Analysis” to first year teachers. Every year, I havea young teacher come up to me and tell me it’s working for her in her classroom. I always say, “Okay,keep using it as long as it’s working but come tell me when it stops working.” They always come inbefore the end of the semester with their heads down and tell me it stopped working. It doesn’tmatter how cute you make it- it isn’t a good idea to post who’s good and who’s bad.It works so much better to give the students nothing to start with and then apply tokens to themwhen they are caught exhibiting excellent behavior. This is called a token economy and it can be setup for every student in the class or 3-5 students in the class. Let’s suppose you have three students inyour class who whine about every little assignment. You could have a small group meeting with themand discuss tone of voice. Teach the correct tone of voice, model it, give the students opportunity topractice it and then use the token economy to reward that behavior. After awhile you will be able tofade the tokens.Positive Interventions and Effective Strategies Riffel -© 2005 - 41 -
