Teachers face several challenges while teaching young children, One of the major challenges teachers need to adjust to while teaching in the early years is to be able to effectively manage the behaviour of children in a classroom setting. “Teaching is a very stressful and demanding occupation. There are many facets of the job that contribute to this stress- behaviour, curriculum demands, workload, admin tasks and the list goes on. One on the key skills of being...

...Module 4 Behaviour Management "Effective behaviour management is essential to the smooth running of a school and in the creation of an environment where everyone's rights and responsibilities are addressed. A balance between fundamental rights and responsibilities is at the heart of behaviour management" (Rogers, 2000 p.12). The school system and the community of people that constitute the school need to be the focus for intervention and change. As Rutter (1979) argued, positive and measurable outcomes in behaviour and learning can occur apart from the socioeconomic conditions of the children in school. Progress will be limited if the schools attitude and stance is "How can we be expected to develop good learning and behaviour when we have got kids like these in this environment." A recent survey reports that the majority of teachers consider 'home background' to be the most significant factor in 'problem behaviour' (Croll and Moses, 1985). The classroom climate has a huge impact on pupils motivation and attitudes to learning. A study by Wragg and Wood (1989) emphasises the importance of the first few lessons with a new class in establishing positive behaviour and fostering pupils intrinsic and extrinsic motivation towards learning. Jones and Jones (1998) formula - Motivation = expectation of success x expected benefits of success x work climate. Kyriacou (2001) claims that the classroom itself should be purposeful, task-orientated, relaxed warm and supportive with emphasis...

...parents are features of schools where behaviour is good”. This research has been aimed to analyse other research materials into behaviour management for learning where the minority of pupils do not enjoy school, work hard and behave well. Poor and disruptive behaviour in the classroom reduces children’s ability to concentrate and absorb information; and it unsettles children and causes immense stress for teachers. (House of Commons Education committee Jan 2011) In a report on school behaviour and discipline, chaired by Alan Steer (Department for Education and Skills (DfES), 2006), effective leadership at schools is essential, the...

...Management Process & Organizational behavior ASSIGNMENT NO-2 Q1) Compare and contrast Taylor’s philosophy of management and Gilbreth Couple’s philosophy of management. Answer Frederick Winslow Taylor is regarded as the father of scientific management and was one of the first management consultants, and Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, are known as the ‘Gilbreth couple’. The main basis on which the management philosophies of both Taylor and The Gilbreth Couple, can be compared and contrasted is their respective work on TIME AND MOTION STUDIES, while Taylor was more concerned with ‘saving time and energy’ and focused primarily on the “saving time” aspect and the standardization of tasks, his time studies had to work in unison with the motion studies of frank and Lillian Gilbreth who included the concept of ‘fatigue’ in the time and motion studies. Time study developed in the direction of establishing standard times, while motion study evolved into a technique for improving work methods. The two techniques became integrated and refined into a widely accepted method applicable to the improvement and upgrading of work systems. This integrated approach to work system improvement is known as methods engineering, and it is applied today to industrial as well as service organizations, including banks, schools and hospitals. THE OBJECTIVE OF CONDUCTING TIME AND MOTION STUDIES The main objective of a time and motion study is to determine reliable time standards for the...

Integration process started late 2008 with the Sales Department being the first. The integration of the Sales Departments of both companies started with the OTC Department of which I am one of its team members. The OTC Department comprise of four (4) teams, namely the High Traffic Outlet (HTO), Independent Retail Outlet (IRO), General Practitioners’ OTC (GP OTC) and the Lower Trade (Chinese Druggist and Wholesalers). Just before the integration took place, the management of CCMD promoted most of their employees in terms of job grades and some with job titles as well. Adjustments were made to the salaries of their employees whereas at CCMP nothing was being done. As employees of CCMP and not being aware of what was happening at the CCMD, we just ‘let nature take its cause’. As integration began to take place, the sales staffs from both the companies were slot into the 4 different teams with each team having at least one member from the other company and vice-versa. Of the 4 teams, 3 of the team managers were from CCMD, the company in which CCMP acquired.

...1. Create a behavioural description of Laura and Luke, comparing and contrasting their profiles. Are they suited to their jobs? Laura and Luke have a number of behavioural distinctions that are both similar and vastly different. Luke’s Behavioural Profile Luke can be said to be someone who has a Type A Personality. This is because it is evident that he is someone with consistently as a sense of time urgency and impatience, which can causes exasperation and irritation which can explain his fiery temper. As noted by Friedman (1996) like other Type A’s, his competitive drive leads to stress and an achievement driven mentality which is evidence by his belief in monetary incentives and rejection of the “warm and fuzzy” HR style. His tendency for stress as evidence above is also indicative of a negative emotional stability which can also be linked to Type A personalities. Similarly, using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) model (Robbins et al, 2010) Luke’s personality can be described as being more of an ESTJ type in that he has a very practical and matter of fact approach to work. His lack of interest in socialising with others or desire for staff to socialise with others is indicative of his desire to achieve results in the most efficient way possible, a trait which is commonly associated with this personality type. Laura’s Behavioural Profile Like Luke, Laura also exhibits a somewhat negative emotional stability in that she also appears to suffer from stress. This...

...Topic Team Management and Behaviour Introduction In this competitive world today, various business industries are taking every possible step to differentiate themselves from others on the field. Some are inclined towards innovation, while others are striving hard to develop high quality substitutes of already existing products and services in the market. One of the most complex though important activity each company wishes to master is hiring the best talent available in market and then forming the most efficient teams within the organization. Team building is in itself a herculean task that demands brainstorming and investment. Hiring the best talent in the market would count to nothing if the individual cannot adapt to the working environment of the team and organizations. It is not surprising to see various contemporary organizations investing huge sums of money towards talent acquisition. In addition to technical and analytical abilities, the human resource departments search for the right soft skills in the prospective employee. Top talent is often rejected if it does not possess team skills. A good prospective employee, be it an operational staff, a middle level manager or a top level consultant, is expected to be knowledgeable about the importance of working collaboratively, build partnerships within the organizations and possess skills to build and lead teams of 21st century (Michael, 2012).

...BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES TO USE EVERY DAY Behavior management is a style of parent/child interactions that focuses on a positive and pleasant approach. This approach will assist you in establishing interactions that will promote desirable behavior. The methods presented are not something to be used occasionally. For them to be fully effective, you must apply consistently across all areas of your child’s life – continually. Even though implementation can be difficult at first, eventually these techniques will become second nature to you. Even if you’ve tried some of the techniques in the past, it is important to try them again; they may have been less consistent last time you tried. They may be taking awhile to be effective, but keep in mind the longer the behavior has been evident, the longer it will take to change it. Behaviors can also change over time. New ones appear in the place of old. Those skills you learned in the past might be more applicable to what you find concerning today. It is your job to focus on the behavior you’d like to increase or decrease, the more you learn about behavior management techniques, the more tools you’ll gather to help shape and promote the behavior you’d like to see more often. BEHAVIOR IS: Any action that can be seen or heard Is observable Is measurable BEHAVIOR IS NOT: Your reaction to the situation Your interpretation of the situation Your expansion of the situation An effective method of...
