Application Part A: In small groups look at questions 3 and 4 (p.40). Try to come to a consensus for the answers. Part B: Create a folder for Classroom Management. Within this folder create another folder entitled Management Plan. Within a new file & using the subheading “Definition of a Behaviour Problem”, succinctly as possible create your own definition of a Behavioural problem (make sure it covers all areas). SAVE this file as Behaviour Management Plan! Homework: Read chapters 3 and 5 for next class. In your Behaviour Management Plan file make a new subheading called ‘The Importance of Making Learning Interesting in Proactive Classroom Management’. Write one small paragraph on the importance of paying attention to the affective domain when planning lessons based on our discussion in class today. Give an example in your paragraph.
