BEHAVIORS: REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS
![Page 4: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
First. . .
• Think intrinsic, not extrinsic!
• To prevent is better than to cure!

Rewarding Good Behavior
• How can you give privileges rather than prizes?

GROUP PRAISE

Team Points
• Keep track
• Give privileges to winning groups– Special “trophy” on desks– Line up first– Use pillows in seats

PUNISHMENT / BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION
![Page 13: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
When a student breaks a rule, always ask:
• “Which rule did you break?”
• “Why is it important to follow this rule?”
• Bad Behavior Prevention: Randomly “catch” students obeying rules; praise them in front of the class and explain which rule they were following

Think, Pair, Share:
• What will be your approach to reward and punishment in your future classroom?
• Did you pick up some tips that you’d like to remember for the future?
![Page 22: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What are the main reasons why students misbehave in a classroom?
• not being able to do the work, • fear of failure, • boredom, • lack of clarity about what to do, • too long spent on an activity without a break, • lack of self-esteem and • poor relationships."
Newell and Jeffery (2002) "Behavior Management in the Classroom"

ASSESSMENT FOR KIDS: IDEAS TO REMEMBER
![Page 24: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Think-Pair-Share
• What is assessment?
• Why do we assess learners?
![Page 25: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Think-Pair-Share
• What forms of assessment are most common for young learners in your country?
– When you were in elementary school, what were your assessments like?
– If you’ve taught young learners (under 12), what forms of assessment have you used?
![Page 26: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Traditional Assessment Methods (“Paper and Pencil Tests”)
• Benefits (for Yls)?
• Weaknesses (for YLs)?
![Page 27: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES
![Page 28: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Assessment:
• NOT just used for grades.
• Also used to get feedback so you can – Provide extra assistance– Re-teach, or– alter your instruction
![Page 29: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Jigsaw
1) With your color group, discuss your assigned technique and write on the graphic organizer
2) Make a new group with different colors (1 pink, 1 purple, 1-2 yellows)
3) Teach each other about your technique.
4) Take notes.

OBSERVATION
![Page 31: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Observation
• 2 approaches:
• Child per Day (Anecdotal Notes):– Choose one child per day and observe him/her closely in
regards to behavior, language use, motivation, etc. Take notes on a graphic organizer.
• During a Task: – Walk around during the task and take notes on all
students’ language use. Use a graphic organizer.
![Page 32: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
SELF-ASSESSMENT
![Page 33: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Self-Assessment--Do NOT use for a grade
• Best if it’s very explicit and linked to lessons you’ve taught in the past
• Best with writing, but also good for speaking or behavior
• Use simple rubrics for kids– 1,2,3 or Smiley Face
• Do at the end of lessons to check in with “Can do” objectives
![Page 34: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
PORTFOLIO
![Page 35: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Portfolio
• Collection of work over time (drawings, writing, oral recordings, speaking transcripts)
• If you use self-assessment rubrics, students will know which pieces are best (particularly with writing)
• Students can reflect on how they’ve improved over time
![Page 36: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Portfolio: Writing
• Watch this video
• Periodically, have students . . . – Choose 2 of their best pieces of writing. – Tag the 2 pieces and explain why they think
they’re best.– Do a self-reflection rubric for each story.
(Teachers evaluate with a rubric, too.)– Put them in the portfolio.
![Page 37: Week 9 Teaching Young Learners Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815b2f550346895dc8f5f1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Portfolio
• Strengths– Encourages self-reflection– Shows students how they’ve progressed over time– Performance Assessment—authentic– Can share with parents and friends
• Weaknesses– They take up a lot of space

Think, Pair, Share:
• Which assessment techniques will you be most likely to use if you teach children in the future?
