Review several of your classmates’ posts and respond to two who have posted how different ways communication affects behavior management or have different variables than you. Compare and contrast your lists and suggest another important factor they may want to consider in their stated profession, and explain why. Responses to classmates should be a minimum of 150-words. Attached is my discussion post so you know how to respond to this response. I believe that communication oral and written plays an important role in behavior management. Why, because if their is no communication there will be chaos and behavior problems. Teachers and communication go hand and hand, the teachers need to communicate with the students so they will know what to work on and how to do it and the students need to communicate with the teacher just in case they have questions and if both teacher and student know what it is expected , then the behaviors should not exist.I would include communication, a teaching plan, respect and understanding. Communication so we can be on the same page, so both sides can know what is happening and what is going to happen. Teachers should plan on what they will teach that day so they will be prepared and won’t have to stop at the end of an ended discussion to get the rest of the class material ready and no behaviors can start to appear or get started. Teachers and students should have and show respect for each other, that way a relationship can start and both sides know how to treat each other and know how to act and understanding, if a student is struggling on an assignment for a reason that teaching should be understanding and help that student with giving he/she extra time.From the ASHFORD LIBRARY, One way to ensure access to such knowledge is through formal or informal collaborations (Ahuja et al., 2005)

Question:
After reviewing Chapter 12 of the text, do you think communication (oral and written)
plays a role in behavior management? Elaborate on why or why not. Support your ideas
with one outside academic source from the Ashford Library and the textbook. What are
three to four of the most important variables you will include in a management plan
(classroom and/or any type of supervision) in your future profession and explain why they
are important to you? Your initial post should be 300-words minimum.
After reviewing Chapter 12 of the text, I do think that communication plays a role in
behavior management. Effective communication, both by the educator and students is required
for a respectful and well-organized learning environment. Educators must practice management
by using time-management skills and planning build children’s cognitive framework and get
them ready to learn (Hall et al., 2014). This is also related to content management, for example,
putting up different turkey-related crafts on the walls of the classroom to get students ready to
make Thanksgiving Day turkey crafts. My effectively communicating what the teacher expects
of the students, students have a better chance of managing their behaviors effectively. Conduct
management has to do with managing how students conduct themselves (Hall et al., 2014). Rules
help with this, by teaching students what is expected and allowed. Moreover, these rules must be
rational, beneficial to the learning environment, and it helps if they make sense to students (Hall
et al., 2014). Judicious discipline requires kids to take responsibility for their own behavior and
get alone well with others (Hall et al., 2014). If rules are explained, children are more likely to
follow along with the appropriate behaviors and work well with others. Choice theory maintains
that if teachers help students meet their five needs, that students are more likely to behave
appropriately (Hall et al., 2014). These are just some of the methods teachers can communicate
to students in order to help kids with behavior management. The oral communication between
students is also important in managing the overall behavior of a classroom. Covenant
management needs to occur, which involves students building relationships with each other,
improving their communication skills, and understanding that unconditional positive regard for
others is required (Hall et al., 2014). If students are not managing their behaviors, behavior
modification may be necessary. This may require teachers and students getting together to
develop a plan to change behavior, going through a value judgement with the student, and
making sure to not punish or criticize if the appropriate behavior is not always met (Hall et al.,
2014). All of these things are important in managing student behaviors, because if these variables
are not taken into consideration, the classroom can turn into a chaotic and turbulent learning
experience.
It is even more important to manage behaviors through the use of effective
communication strategies with children dealing with ADHD and ODD (Barclay et al., 2001).
Communication training, behavior management training, and the combination of both therapies
can help children with ADHD and ODD learn to better manage their behaviors by
communicating effectively to solve problems. Kids with these disorders are more likely to get
into conflict with their parents and teachers, and that’s why it’s very important for these children
to learn how to effectively communicate and modify their behaviors to appropriate with what is
expected of them in society (Barclay et al., 2001). For some reason that is not yet clear through
research, the combination of communication training and behavior management training is found
to be a more positive and worthwhile experience than either therapy on its own (Barclay et al.,
2001). Thus, communication is definitely important in behavior management, both for healthy
children and those with ODD or ADHD.
