| Summary: | This document describes an instructional packet designed to help teachers develop effective techniques for monitoring classroom behavior. Monitoring student classroom behavior requires the possession of a meaningful set of categories with which to describe student behavior, the ability to identify examples of those behaviors in the context of classroom activity, and the ability to classify student behaviors from multiple groupings. In the package "Monitoring Classroom Behavior" three films are sequenced to create improved skill in observing and classifying student behavior. In the first film the settings are described, i.e., a third and tenth grade class engaged in art and science activities respectively. Five categories of student behavior are defined and examples of each are shown. Two goals are addressed in the second film. First, the concepts are presented in a more complex context demonstrating the difficulties inherent in classifying human behavior. Second, the trainee is asked to try to use the categories in classifying student behavior. In the third part, an attempt is made to simulate the condition in an actual classroom where a teacher may be asked to monitor the behaviors of a variety of students at the same time. (JD) |
