Description
Low reading scores. Fighting. Yelling. Inappropriate outbursts. Getting out of one's seat. Incomplete work. Interrupting others. Lack of interest.
All of these behaviors are disturbing to parents, teachers and administrators; but when they occur repeatedly, it drives teachers and parents to want to simply quit. These behaviors are not just frustrating and disturbing to adults but lead to self-defeating attributes for the child, limiting their progression in the attainment of lifelong learning characteristics. To deter these undesired behaviors, a more productive atmosphere can be created based on behavior modification, value foundations, effective learning communities and increasing personal behaviors.
