Learning is impaired, because of...
Withdrawn behaviourAntisocial behaviourPoor social skillsPoor interpersonal
relationshipsHigh absence rateLack of motivation/lack of
successAnxiety
Poor impulse controlImpaired executive
controlPoor motivation

Instead, when an issue arises...
Keep your emotions in check (sometimes, both the student and the teacher need some ‘time out’ before dealing with an issue)
Avoid confrontations and defuse conflictIgnore attention-seeking behaviours (but never aggressive ones)
Boost a student’s interest (or change activity or rate of delivery) when you notice signs of restlessness (before off-task behavior occurs)
Ease tension through humorHelp with a difficult task before a student begins to act out Restructure your lesson plan (if an activity is not successful, change it quickly)
Consider seating arrangements

Other things teachers can do...
Since academic success contributes to a healthy self-esteem...
...focusing on academic success contributes to academic motivation and greater
availability to learning

Other things teachers can do...
Student groupingsTime management
Signals and other non-verbal cuesProgram for and support academic successEngage students beyond rote learning tasksAssess across a unit both formatively and
summatively, emphasizing formative assessment

Grouping for Instruction
…involves the use of small group instruction, one-on-one support, cooperative group activities, individualized instruction, and peer tutoring
• Grouping adaptations reduce occurrences of behavioral problems (Penno, Frank, & Wacker, 2000)

Peer Tutoring and Cooperative LearningProvide learning-focused opportunities for appropriate
social interaction
![Page 10: Emotional behavioural disorders in schools](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062707/55847a0ad8b42a15768b4ed6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Peer Tutoring and Cooperative LearningTeach self-management, promote student engagement, provide immediate
feedback, provide opportunities to correct mistakes

Students with mental, emotional, and behavioural disorders are not fully available to learning
Program adaptations help students:
Concentrate
Organize information
Identify and select relevant information
Remember information
What is the overall/big idea that the student needs to take from the lesson?
![Page 12: Emotional behavioural disorders in schools](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062707/55847a0ad8b42a15768b4ed6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Program adaptations for learners with behavioural and emotional difficulties
Secondary students’ common set of learner characteristics that negatively affect their academic success are motivational issues, anxiety, and lack of impulse control. This translates into poor persistence and concentration as well as difficulty to engage in independent work.
Learning outcomes depend on the extent to which instruction is functional and recognized by students as relevant (Bos & Vaughn, 1994)
Higher levels of engagement mean lower levels of inappropriate behaviour
Inappropriate student behavior decreases when students are presented with a sequence of shortened assignments versus one long assignment

Structured worksheets/graphic organizers, self-monitoring devices, advance organizers.
• Graphic organizer/structured worksheets help students remember and recall information (e.g., steps to a strategy).
• Self-monitoring to help students monitor their problem solving behavior
• Advance organizers help students identify, organize, understand, and retain information
