SECOND ASSIGNMENT
Today’s classrooms are increasingly diverse. Because educational reforms have resulted in more inclusive classroom settings and have increased teacher accountability, it is critical that teachers identify efficient, effective strategies for supporting students who exhibit challenging behaviors.
For this assignment, you are to go through the online Iris Module Classroom Management Part 1 (see link above). Then you are to answer the questions that are attached as a word document. You MUST include each of the questions before your answer.

IRIS Module II:
Addressing Disruptive and Non-Compliant Behaviors (Part 1): Understanding the Acting-Out Cycle
Total: 5 points
- List three reasons why some students continue to cause problems even when there is a good classroom management plan in place? (3 points)
- Discuss at least one benefit and one challenge of intervening early in the acting-out cycle to prevent problem behaviors from escalating. (.5 point)
-
Think back to the Challenge at the beginning of this module. Ms. Rollison is having trouble with Patrick, who is a model student on some days and is rude and disruptive and refuses to work. Unfortunately, she probably does not have enough information to figure out what Patrick’s triggers are.
Although not discussed explicitly in the module, can you think of three methods by which Ms. Rollison could determine his triggers? (1 point) - Ms. Rollison is also having trouble with Tameka, who refuses to do any written work. In this case, Ms. Rollison does have enough information to figure out what Tameka’s trigger is. What is it? (.5 point)
