1. Great teachers ignore certain behaviors in the classroom because the teacher realizes in the scheme of things, minor errors will occur because they are working with children. By not overreacting to every minor situation, students realize that they are not going to be able to "push your buttons" and in turn, the student will see the teacher modeling self-control- a skill that effective teachers want to give each child.
2. Most students misbehave because they want attention. 3. Self-fulling prophecy-If your told enough that your behavior or your performance is not good enough, at some point you will believe and then shut down. 4. Great teachers have the ability to recognize how much attention to giver their students. 5. Great teachers have a plan for everything that happens in their classroom. If it doesn't work out as they expected, they make adjustments to improve. 6. Great teachers take a proactive role in dealing with behaviors. In other words, they expect certain behaviors and have a plan for dealing with them. Ineffective teachers simpley react to situations with no forethought. 7. Effective teachers model self-control; their classroom management is grounded in their ability to manage their own behavior.

1. Great teachers ignore certain behaviors because these behaviors might subside without getting the student worked up or making the behavior worse.
2. I believe many students misbehave purely to gain attention from other students. 3. The student’s behavior will possibly get worse, and their academics will be just be enough to ensure that the teacher is not questioning the amount of effort a student is putting in. 4. Teachers do not want to fight every battle, noise or smart remark they need to find ways for the students to receive positive reinforcement without disrupting a class. 5. Planning! Teachers are always prepared for whatever is thrown their way. Teachers reflect on what works in a plan and what didn’t work and make the changes that will help it be successful in the future. 6. Great teachers with time and experience learn how to defuse a situation before it gets out of hand. The ineffective teacher might make the situation worse by going about it in the incorrect way. 7. Willingness of the teacher to understand who is in control without the sense of thinking they have to be the dictator.

Great teachers have learned from past experiences when to ignore certain situations. They realize it is better to ignore than to focus on a problem in order to keep it from escalating.In most cases, a student misbehaves to get attention. If we continue picking on certain behaviors and academic performance, we run the risk of lowering the students self-esteem and losing the students respect for us. Giving a student positive attention when he/she is performing satisfactorily can offset ignoring any minor misbehavior.Knowing what to do or not to do are always key elements in any classroom. Great teachers have a plan for their classrooms and students are the main priority. The ineffective teacher only sees what he/she wants to and only takes action after somethjng occurs instead of using "an ounce of prevention". The teacher is in charge and need not feel threatened. Students should know that the teacher is in command and an effective teacher can make the students feel that they are the most important asset to the classroom.ctwatts

1. Great teachers often ignore certain behaviors because they want to keep the class learning and not distract from the lesson. The behaviors may stop on their own if ignored.
2. Most students misbehave because they are seeking attention from peers and teachers or they are trying to avoid their class work. 3. If we as educators continually pick a child's behavior, the behavior will probably increase and the child's academic performance will go down because both teacher, child, and other students are focused on the unwanted behavior. 4. Great teachers must perform a balancing act between ignoring behaviors and providing attention to those students who crave it. The teachers should try recognizing the positive behaviors of a child and draw attention to those types of behaviors. Also, students that crave attention can be given jobs in the classroom that allow them to be seen. 5. The key points of chapters 11 and 12 are for great teachers to have a plan and purpose for everything they do and to prevent behaviors before they occur. They should teach as though the child's parents were in the room. 6. Great teachers differ from ineffective teachers in terms of preventing and dealing with misbehavior by planning ahead , being organized , and creating a positive classroom environment. 7. Great teachers change the dynamics of a classroom without power struggles by making sure all students are engaged and learning and by finding positive things to say about each child. |

Teachers ignore certain behaviors in order to reduce time off task. Most of the time, the reason a student misbehaves is an attempt to “get out of something” that is required of them. Students that are struggling academically for example will sometimes act out in the attempt to actually get in trouble in the hopes of getting out of the work. As teachers, we are given the responsibility to not only teach our students but also to continue to encourage them to excel. If we continually bash our students for their “negative” behaviors and or less than perfect academics we take the risk of only encouraging our students to simply give up. Teachers must always pick their battles wisely. Students with behavioral concerns will often times act out in the attempt to simply gain attention. And in many cases, attention they crave due to their lack of attention at home. The difference between an ineffective teacher and a great teacher is that the ineffective teacher fails to deal with behaviors before they occur. The effective teacher plans for preventative measures in order to reduce behavioral problems and encourages and praised students appropriate behaviors.
