BUMP 1
Bump 1 – Preventing and Responding to Misbehaviour through low-key responses
•Teacher responds to the student using one of several low-key responses.•Responses should be short or shorter than the interruption and should maintain a positive or neutral atmosphere.•These responses are non-assertive and invite the student to behave.•These responses include: proximity, touch, gesture, using the student’s name, the look, a pause, ignoring the behaviour, a signal to begin/for attention, and dealing the problem not the student.
BUMP 2 – Squaring OffMore assertive than bump 1 and it demands the student to behave.4 steps: 1) Stop talking (pause) 2) Turn toward the student (square off) 3) Give a verbal request to stop (optional) 4) End with a thank you
Sometimes the length/intensity of the look will stop the behaviour without saying anything
Caution – if the look is too long/intense, it may work against you and initiate a power struggle
BUMP 3 - ChoicesTeacher uses this skill to give options to the student or have students come up with their own option to prevent an inappropriate behaviour to continue
Makes the student talk the responsibility
4 steps: 1) Stop teaching, pause, and turn to student 2) Provide student with an appropriate choice or allow
them to make a choice by saying “A decision please” 3) Wait for an answer 4) Finish with a thank you
