I will teach learners to manage anger by practicing three activities in each class giving them 30 strategies in part-one of anger management. Journal work is encouraged and helpful for the purpose of becoming a better writer and to make writing a part of releasing anger in a positive way. When teaching positive behaviors, learners will be able to self-reflect by looking within themselves first before blaming others. Although some learners struggle with writing, I will direct them to write words or basic sentences by highlighting information during the presentation. I will continue to ask questions and engage the learners during class. I will also respect their privacy if they do not want to answer questions. I allow learners to self-reflect by asking, the end of class, what did you learn today? The answers indicate active listening skills and commitment to positive behaviors.

As a special education teacher, I manage extreme behaviors in and out of the classroom. I have taken courses in my master’s program and attend yearly behavior management training. I apply behavior strategies with students with disabilities to teach them self-control and what to do when they are feeling stress, anxiety, or anger. Anger can become manageable with daily routines. When the amygdala is activated by fear it responds with an emotion. In my teaching practice I use learning strategies to assess the learners need by using visuals, verbal, and nonverbal cues. Learners are encouraged communication (talk, raise your hand, smile, etc.), start a conversation, and I give wait time for a response.
