The Teacher Does Not Use Physical Proximity
When a teacher does not consider physical proximity, it makes it more difficult for the teacher to prevent behavioural problems from escalating. Students are not easily accessible and instructional time can be lost.
The teacher
- arranges seating in a way that makes it difficult to reach all the students
- positions self away from the student who is showing signs of problem behaviour
- cannot continue providing instruction because they are required to stop to address misbehaviour
- cannot limit distraction to other students while addressing the off-task student
- responds emotionally to the problem behaviour and does not maintain a neutral face and tone.
The students
- struggle to regain control of behaviours
- struggle to participate in the task.
