Describe the management and consequences of secondary students (adolescents) when it comes to behavioral issues. Explain why this age group of students may be a focus of attention when discussing behavior management and consequences
What will be an ideal response?
In managing adolescents:
-structure and consistency are essential, and expectations are defined
clearly (e.g., rules, consequences, routines)
-likelihood of power struggles and defiance of authority is greater
Suggestions for managing consequences with adolescents:
-stress natural consequences
-use conditional reinforcers
-consider using peer interactions as reinforcers
-develop a continuum of consequences for managing inappropriate behaviors
*avoid public reprimands
*use little verbal interaction and eye contact when administering a negative consequence
*response cost is good for dealing with inappropriate behavior
*time out is an effective consequence
[Students' responses will vary as they explain why this age group of students may be a focus of attention when discussing behavior management and consequences.]
