Supporting Positive Student Behavior
This component focuses on expectations, behavior support, and student responsibility. During student teaching, I learned the importance of clear directions, consistency, and positive redirection. I used professional behavior management strategies. I tried to correct behavior respectfully while keeping the focus on learning.
Example of my Data Project for Student A at BG Academy History
Student A is enrolled in a high school history course and has demonstrated strong academic performance throughout the school year. His grades remained consistently high, with a 95% in Quarter 1, 97% in Quarter 2, 92% in Quarter 3, and 93% in Quarter 4. These grades show that Student A is capable of understanding and mastering the material when working in a structured classroom environment.
However, when analyzing additional data from the Edmentum online learning platform, a concern was identified. Student A’s overall accuracy rate on Edmentum assignments was 57%, which is much lower than expected based on his classroom performance. The data also showed fluctuations in engagement, including inconsistent time spent on tasks and varying performance levels.
These indicators suggest that while Student A understands the material, he struggles with independent work, online assignments, and applying knowledge without direct support. This gap between classroom success and independent performance became the focus of this project. This challenge was selected as a priority because success in high school history requires strong independent thinking, test-taking skills, and the ability to apply knowledge across different formats.
The intervention primarily focuses on Student A, but the strategies used may also benefit other students who struggle with independent learning and online accuracy.
