a. Each child in the classroom has a peg with his
/ her name on it.
b. Each learner's peg starts at the top. If
a learner misbehaves or does something
against the classroom rules, their peg then
moves one space down.
c. Various consequences then take place, as
shown by the text on each space in the chart

16. Students’ Personalities in Classroom
1.Shy
a.Lack of Confidence
b.Social Awkwardness
c.Naturally Introverted
2.Mischievous
a. Attention Seeker
b.Bored Mischievous

17. SHY
Shy students can be great to have from a behavioral
standpoint because they rarely cause any problem. Actually,
they can easily fall into the educator’s ‘blind spots’ and go
unnoticed. That is why it is important to give these students
some attention, but be careful not to focus too much on them
as this may cause more withdrawal than previously experienced
Shy students are tricky to handle and can take a lot of
asserted time and effort to get them active in class. The real
keys to all areas of shyness are not to overload the student
with attention, gradually focus more attention on them, and
provide lots of encouragement.

18. These students may not actually be shy, but their lack of
confidence causes them to pull back and become uncomfortable
participating in class.
How to help
 Give individual attention to the students. Walk by and check
their work and give praise for doing well and encouragement when
not meeting expectations.
 Make mental notes about correct answers that have been
checked and call on the student for an answer in front of the class,
but first make sure to have communicated the answer is correct
beforehand. This can help decrease any anxiety the student may
have and allow confidence in participating.
Lack of Confidence

19. Naturally introverted students have the personality where they
prefer to work by themselves. They are normally soft spoken and are
closed in appearance (sitting with shoulders sloped forward, avoiding
eye contact, arms folded across the body).
How to help:
 Provide individual attention and encouragement to the student.
 Try to build a bridge to communicate with the student outside
of the lesson by asking a simple question periodically. If they
answer, smile and encourage, then let them have space.
 Do not force a lot of attention onto the student as it will be
extremely uncomfortable.
 Do not get angry for not answering in class.
Naturally Introverted

20. This student likes the attention he receives from making the class
laugh. Whether or not it is a substitute for a mother’s lack of affection is not
relevant here. Normally these students are very vocal making jokes all the
time. Sometimes they may cause havoc with throwing items or something
similar, but mostly try to make everyone laugh through language. The key point
is they love the attention and in speaking class they can become a lightning rod
for interaction.
How to handle
 Allow them to talk and laugh if they say something funny.
 Do not tolerate negative talk towards other students or disrespectful
language.
 If they step out of bounds, pull them aside and explain there is a time
to have fun and a time to study. To learn those times.
 Provide classroom rules and consequences so they understand how far
they can take their jokes
 Involve them in class whenever possible as they love the attention
(ask them questions, have them demonstrate things, etc.)
Attention Seeker

21. There are so many student personalities in class that it
would be impossible to give everyone the individual attention
they need. However, this does not mean the educator cannot
take special interests in certain students who could benefit
from being a bit more centered. The key ingredients which
help balance all personality types are encouragement,
understanding, and a structure of rules. Once these things are
in place, it is just managing certain aspects of the students to
help them overcome certain problems. This may not be in the
educator’s job description, but it is a characteristic every great
educator possesses.
