Behaviour Management

Antecedents Behaviour Consequences


-- If you don’t like the behaviour, you have two options:

- catch the trigger (hard) OR,

- adjust the consequence (easy)



NEVER punish a student for being angry

DON’T rush to give advise

DON’T take their anger personally

DO NOT try to extinguish behaviour without giving an alternative/substitute
