Effective Strategies to Help Defiant or Non-compliant Students in my Elementary Classroom
Non-compliant or defiant behaviors can hinder learning and create a stressful environment. My research question is “What are effective strategies to help non-compliant or defiant students in my elementary classroom?” My focus was on how I can limit these behaviors and encourage better behaviors instead. Strategies like behavior specific praise, consistent and clear rules and expectations, and knowing the reasons behind the behavior were some of my most prominent findings. Research indicates that fear of failure, a desire for autonomy, and a need for purpose and belonging are some of the most common reasons behind non-compliant or defiant behaviors. I also discovered some tools that parents can implement at home to create a consistent environment across both school and home life.
