Chapter 1: Introduction to Behavior Management and

Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports Chapter 1 Learning Outcome Quizzes Learning Outcome 1.1. Summarize the relationships among teacher characteristics, student diversity, and traditional school discipline practices.[Q1] In most school districts, the majority of teachers are white and female. However, today’s classrooms are highly diverse places. Which of the following is a potential implication of the fact that most students will be taught by someone from a different cultural or ethnic background?

• Relationships between the teacher and students and families may be impacted due

to a lack of recognition and understanding of diverse beliefs. [correct]

• Students often resent the fact that their teacher is of a different background and

behave inappropriately.

• Students are often placed with teachers who are closest to them in terms of cultural,

linguistic, or ethnicity. This can create very large class size.

• Research shows that there are no serious implications, as long as the teacher

understands their own biases and takes coursework to understand cultural/language diversity.[Feedback for Correct Answer 1] A lack of knowledge and understanding of different people’s cultures can impact relationships that benefit students.[Feedback for Answer Choice 2] While this may be true that some students resent their teacher, it is not a common cause of inappropriate behavior at school.[Feedback for Answer Choice 3] Placing students with teachers who are similar to them in terms of ethnicity and culture is not commonplace in schools.[Feedback for Answer Choice 4] While exploring one’s own biases and taking steps to overcome them is laudable, there are, indeed, implications to the ethnic and cultural discrepancy between teachers and students.[Q2] Which of the following reflects the most common disciplinary problem in schools?

• Aggressive, antisocial behaviors directed toward teachers or other students 3 / 4

• Drug use, including tobacco, and alcohol use on campus or students being under

the influence of these which interfere with learning

• Victimization by students directed at other students, including bullying, theft, and

threats of injury

• Classroom behavior that disrupts the classroom and prevents the teacher from

effectively teaching [correct] [Feedback for Answer Choice 1] While such behavior is frightening, aggressive behaviors are not common.[Feedback for Answer Choice 2] These behaviors often result in exclusionary discipline (removing students from school), but they are not the most common.[Feedback for Answer Choice 3] While problematic in schools, these behaviors are not as typical of the most common misbehavior.[Feedback for Correct Answer 4] Most common student misbehavior is relatively minor and can be easily managed by teachers with the right skills.[Q3] Which of the following is a true statement regarding emotional and behavioral disorders in children and youth?

• Approximately 1% of children age 9 to 17 have diagnosable mental or addictive

disorders that affect normal functioning.

• Serious and persistent misbehavior in school may actually be manifestations of

mental health disorders.[correct]

• Children with mental health disorders are best served outside the school setting with

other students with similar disorders.

• Most students with autism qualify as intellectually disabled (I Q <70).

[Feedback for Answer Choice 1] Approximately 20% of children in this age group have diagnosable mental or addictive disorders that affect normal functioning.[Feedback for Correct Answer 2] Teachers should consider the possibility of a mental health disorder when a student displays serious and persistent misbehavior.
