Case
EBD and ESOL Class

I have volunteered in an ESOL and ESB class that is combined. The EBD students are acting out and the ESOL students see their behavior. How can I address to my ESOL students that their behavior is not what the teacher expects of her students?

It would be appropriate to remind the students of their rules and procedures every morning until this is not an issue. Reward the behaviors that are positive and following the rules, usually through a simple praise or an incentive.

I would use this solution if I were in this case.

I would use this solution if I were in this case.

This is what I would do if I were in this situation. It is also helpful for the EBD students.

I would reward the students that are not acting out, and go over expectations every day including consequences and rewards which can be simple like a special snack, student choice for assignments, treasure box, or whatever is possible in your class that would motivate the students. You must know your students first. I would look into non-violent crisis intervention strategies and de-escalation strategies for the EBD students and try to understand the function of their behaviors including triggers, environment, and cause of them acting out to take appropriate interventions.

If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this.

Creating and implementing a classroom management system will help in guiding your students to proper behavior and following procedures. I would also search for some videos of situations of unacceptable classroom behavior that has solutions that can provide better choices. This will help students especially ESOL students to identify misbehavior and proper behavior.

Another point to providing stricter classroom management is that it would provide an example to the students who do not act out; if you do this sort of behavior, you will receive a punishment.

Using resources like books, videos, or presentations that incorporate pictures about the correct ways to behave is very important. When expectations are set, students should understand the right way to act.

I really like implementing a rewards/penalty system. My students react really well with thank yous "Thank you for your manners" "Thank you for ignoring" "Thank you for making responsible choices" or giving simple prizes like stickers,

I think a combination of what everyone has been suggesting is great. What is important to remember with ESOL students is that pictures and videos work GREAT! Have a visual behavior expectations chart in the classroom so students always know what is expected of them. When students are following behaviors, PRAISE the good and ignore the "junk" behavior, as I call it. Use hand signals and use facial expressions to remind them when they are getting off task or doing something unfavorable.

Solution #7
Since it is an ESOL and ESB classroom, a visual representation of the classroom expectations would be best. Make sure you have the same expectations for the ESB students and the ESOL students. Explain the rules again, and if you can have a bilingual assistant hell translate as much as they can.

It would be best to help both at one time - redirect the EBD students while also setting good examples for the ESOL students. If the ESOL students can see the repercussions of the negative behavior, it would be a learning experience for them all.

I would make sure to have a bulletin board up and go over it every morning to remind the students of the rules and proceduress in class. I would also talk quietly to those students who are acting out.

Solution #10
Implement an effective classroom management system that applies to all students. Emphasize that this behavior will not be tolerated and that there are consequences for their actions.

The EBD students should have consequences for their behavior.

I dont agree with this solution. I work in a school with students who have emotional behavioral disorders and concequences are not normally effective with them.
