During a classroom observation, you watched a teacher stop a girl who was running around the room and sent her to a chair for timeout. She sat down, watched and waited for about five minutes before the teacher came over and permitted her to go play. During your observation, you noticed the same teachers send two other children to the timeout chair. One child stayed for a few minutes and then left without permission, and the other child was forgotten. Respond to the following:. 1. How do I feel about the teacher's behavior? 2. What strategies do I think would be appropriate? 3. Was the teacher's action effective in guiding the children's behavior?

The correct answers to these open questions are the following.

1. How do I feel about the teacher's behavior?

The teacher is trying to maintain control of the classroom. Previously, the teacher had to clearly establish the rules so every boy and girls know what is expected. So the teacher is doing the right thing trying to make the children understand that discipline is a key component of the class.

2. What strategies do I think would be appropriate?

First, it could be understandable that the teacher warns the student. A little reminder of the behavior expected and make them know that there are consequences for their actions. Then, the proper disciplinary actions previously discussed and accepted by the principals of the school.

3. Was the teacher's action effective in guiding the children's behavior?

In some cases. Because as the statement says, "one child stayed for a few minutes and then left without permission, and the other child was forgotten." This means that the teacher did not pay enough attention to these two kids. And it is very important for the teacher to maintain the standard and be cautious about the right actions and considerations for all of its students.
