Component 2d:
Managing Student Behavior
What is Component 2d?
In order to demonstrate Component 2d of the Danielson Framework, teachers must manage student behavior. By setting rules and expectations for students, educators can ensure that their lessons run smoothly and that students remain focused on tasks. Furthermore, monitoring student behavior allows teachers to have an understanding of their students' habits and areas of weakness.
Why is Component 2d important?
Executing Component 2d is vital in creating a comfortable and successful classroom environment. When teachers set limits and boundaries, they ensure that students understand what is expected of them. Therefore, students will be more likely to remain on task and complete work efficiently and without distractions. Finishing work in a timely manner is essential in keeping on track for each lesson.
Elements
The first element within the component is expectations. In order for students to know what is expected of them, teachers must present rules from the start of the year. These expectations prevent any confusion or dispute when/if a student misbehaves. Secondly, teachers must monitor student behavior. This step comes after setting expectations because it is a direct result of these rules. Teachers should always be cognizant of how students are interacting in the classroom. If a student is misbehaving, action must be taken in order to assure the poor behavior stops. This leads into the last element which is responding to student behavior. Teachers must remain calm and collected when they correct students. However, they must also be authoritative in their reaction. By letting students know that they are serious yet forgiving of the situation, teachers will be successful in delivering discipline.
Possible Artifacts
Rules posted in the classroom for all students to reference
Provide students and parents with a "behavior contract"
Fill out behavior sheets that describe student behavior for each day
