Case: The Bad Class You have one class on the team that all teachers struggle to manage the behavior of. The principal visited your classroom and sympathized with you. The class is talkative and spends a lot of time bickering back and forth. The majority of class time is spent diffusing behavior problems. Twenty to thirty minutes into class, you can finally start teaching. What do you do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) As a substitute teacher I have experienced horrible classes where students are disrespectful and do not follow any rules or procedures. I have found that choosing my battles works best instead of spending the majority of class time on students who really do not care about their school work. It is not fair to the students that are following the rules and engaged in the lesson to be interrupted by their classmates. I normally ignore students that are not following the directions as long as their are sitting quietly at their desk. If a student is being loud and disrupting the class by leaving their seat, etc. then I will address that student. From my experience, the students who are misbehaving usually need one-on-one instruction time as well as additional instruction and guidance. Additionally, I try to avoid calling out individual students that aren't following the rules. Instead I focus on those students who are following the rules in order to demonstrate what is expected of my students. This helps misbehaving students see what a student following rules looks like. |
