Examples
Teacher: Terri Vennerberg
Grade: 3
In her Habitats activity, Terri Vennerberg uses the strategy of re-directing a group that displays off-task behavior and focuses their attention on their assignment. Vennerberg’s correction of inappropriate and irresponsible behavior illustrates Conduct Management.
Teacher: Vicki Oleson
Grade: 6
Vicki Oleson monitors the students as they work together in their groups. As the learners try to reach consensus on the topic, Oleson encourages them to remember ways of solving disagreement within the group. This demonstrates Conduct Management.
Teacher: Lyn Countryman
Grade: 7
Lyn Countryman’s students are learning about the human heart by gathering and analyzing data on their own heart rates. The teacher demonstrates Conduct Management as she corrects irresponsible and inappropriate behavior by reminding her students that one of the goals of working together is to respect one another. In addition, she encourages them to respond one at a time.
Teacher: Teresa Farrell
