What are some experiences you can share? What were some of the outcomes? Were they positive or negative? CHARACTERISTICS (Active) : CHARACTERISTICS (Active) EXPLOSION- A temper tantrum designed to get the teacher to back off and submit to student’s demands. IMPLOSION- A frustration tantrum designed to release steam and direct focus away for apparent failure. Emotional outburst- The student becomes vocal or collapses in tears hoping to avoid their failure. Also, students can clown around in hopes that the teacher will focus on the behavior and and not notice the fear underneath. CHARACTERISTICS (Passive) : CHARACTERISTICS (Passive) Procrastination and Noncompletion “I could have if I would have” Assignments that are never finished cannot be judged or graded CHARACTERISTICS (Passive) : CHARACTERISTICS (Passive) Temporary Incapacity Student develops temporary incapacity to perform. Example, Carla struggles with math. When it is time for math class, she complains of a headache or any ailment that might excuse her from class. CHARACTERISTICS (Passive) : CHARACTERISTICS (Passive) Assumed Disabilities Learning disabled and attention-deficit disorder diagnoses inadvertently help students carry out avoidance of failure behavior. It is difficult to differentiate between real and assumed disabilities. Students are good at pretending and teachers wonder if students can’t or if they won’t. HOW TO IDENTIFY AVOIDANCE OF FAILURE BEHAVIOR : HOW TO IDENTIFY AVOIDANCE OF FAILURE BEHAVIOR Three Clues to distinguish avoidance of failure: Your emotional response- You will feel concern, frustrated or perhaps despair. Your reaction- Initial reaction is to give up trying or seek a referral to school support staff. Student’s response- Student will continue to avoid the task. ORIGINS OF BEHAVIOR : ORIGINS OF BEHAVIOR Rules of the Red Pencil- Students know their mistakes are going to receive attention. Unreasonable Expectations- Being aware they can not reach the goal set for them, students refuse to try. Perfectionism and Star Mentality- Students strive for perfection and are unable to tolerate any mistakes. So, they refuse to put forth any effort because they believe that only a prefect performance is acceptable. ORIGINS OF BEHAVIOR (Continued) : ORIGINS OF BEHAVIOR (Continued) Emphasis on Competition-An emphasis on competition in the classroom can promote avoidance of failure behavior. If students are branded as a winner or loser, they’d rather not play at all. Student’s Legitimate Needs- These students need to believe in themselves and that they can be successful.
