Task 1
Scenario 1
A. Explain how one's student behavior affects the learning environment, including how
that behavior influences his or her learning, the learning of other students, and the
teacher's instructions
Sarah wandering in the classroom is utterly disturbing to other students as some start
following her around, leaving undivided attention within the learning environment. This behavior
exposes Sarah to negative learning ability based on understanding the unit in question. Similarly,
Sarah is prohibiting the teacher’s ability to interact with other students and deliver instructions
appropriately. The teacher’s attention is drawn towards Sarah in attempt to tame her movement
and those of other students following her. She therefore affects the teacher’s productivity since a
lot of time is wasted in attending to her distractions. Sarah could be seeking attention or avoiding
something unusual to her in class; therefore, it is vital to address the possible issues triggering
her unrest. To accommodate Sarah's wandering, it is important first to embrace the reality of her
situation linked with the fact that she is still young and playful to comprehend the consequences
(Bosch, 2006). Therefore, encouraging her movement while blending the play with some pre-
composed songs related to the subject in consideration as a modification; will address Sarah's
behavior and help contain the situation.
B. Describe a possible trigger (i.e., antecedent) or reason for the student's behavior
With Sarah's medical file showing no medical conditions that could expose her to wander
