Case: One of your students, Bryant, asks for permission to see the school nurse at least twice a week. According to the nurse, most of his complaints have been groundless. True, once he was coming down with the flu, but 9 out of 10 times, nothing has been wrong at all. Recently you have noticed that he tends to "get sick" during oral assignments or when he has to speak before the class.

Another student, Sarah, is constantly getting in trouble for talking to others during class. When you talk to her mom, she says that Sarah constantly complains that she is bored and unengaged during class. She says that Sarah needs to be actively engaged in learning and your lecture style teaching methods are not meeting her needs.

Compose a 150+ word post that addresses all of the following:

Question 1: How does Bryant's behavior relate to Pavlov's idea of classical conditioning and/or Skinner's idea of operant conditioning?

Question 2: What functions might this behavior be serving?

Question 3: Are Sarah's learning needs being met?

Question 4: How could you incorporate constructivist concepts to help Sarah?
