The last time she led science lab work with her eighth-grade students, it had descended into chaos. The children all raced to grab the same equipment, in spite of her carefully prepared lesson plan and instructions. As they pushed each other, argued, and misused and damaged the equipment, Ms. Turner lost her cool and started yelling. How was she going to avoid this happening again tomorrow?  \nC  \nlassroom behavior is a source of anxiety, stress, and distraction for many teachers and is a key reason teachers give for leaving the profession.1 This often raises questions regarding the extent to which teacher preparation pro-  \ngrams and initial teaching placements prepare pre-service teachers for working with students who display challenging behavior,  \nGreg Ashman is a teacher, blogger, and PhD candidate atthe University of New South Wales in Australia, where he researches cognitive load theory. He is the author of The Truth about Teaching: An Evidence-Informed Guide for New Teachers. Pamela Snow is a professor at and head of the La Trobe Rural Health School in Bendigo, Australia. A speech-language pathologist and psychologist, she is a coauthor of Making Sense of Interventions forChildren with Developmental Disorders: A Guide for Parents and Professionals.  \nregardless of its basis. In fact, teachers have a broad range of widely applicable strategies they may use in the classroom, such as moving toward a misbehaving student or positively reinforcing appropriate behaviors.  \nStrategies such as these2 are an essential part of a teacher’stoolkit, but some students require more specific, tiered interventions. One of the more dangerous myths about teaching is that if teachers plan lessons that are engaging enough, students will behave well. This leads to teachers blaming themselves for student misbehavior and ignores all the other influences that affect a child, such as conflict at home, poor nutrition, and previous school experiences. It also neglects the fact that some children have a specific developmental disorder that affects their processing of information, and hence their learning and behavior.  \nSome developmental disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), are widely known, albeit possibly overdiagnosed and subject to ongoing debate regarding optimal management strategies. Less widely known and understood, however, is the impact of developmental language disorder (DLD) on behavior and learning. Based on the statistics, the odds are good that this is an issue that at least a few students are dealing with in Ms. Turner’s eighth-grade science class.3 The good news is that knowledge of difficulties associated with DLD may help teachers not only better deal with challenging behaviors but also improve learning outcomes for students with language disorders, as well as those outside the clinical range who nevertheless dis-  \nILLUSTRAT IONS BY JAMES YANG  \nAMERICAN EDUCATOR | SUMMER 2019 37  \nplay difficulties processing and using oral language. Before considering DLD more closely, however, we need to consider what language skills are and why they are relevant to school success.  \nThe Importance of Oral Language Skills  \nOral language skills refer to the ability to understand the spoken language of others and the ability to express oneself verbally by putting words and ideas into sentences and engaging appropriately in different social situations. One of the most important roles of adults in children’s lives is to teach them the all-important yet unwritten rules of how to behave in a range of social, educational, vocational, and recreational contexts. This work is in equal parts demanding, time-consuming, challenging, amusing, frustrating, repetitive, and (in the long run at least) rewarding. It involves parents and other adults taking the rei","cbCaisNUsk13lfgL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisNUsk13lfgL","pdf",459280,"English","# Oral Language Competence\n## How It Relates to Classroom Behavior\n## The Importance of Oral Language Skills","[{\"question\":\"Why is classroom behavior a central concern for teachers?\",\"answer\":\"Classroom behavior creates anxiety, stress, and distraction for many teachers and is a key reason some leave the profession.
