Case: No classroom management I am currently in an internship in a second grade class. The teacher does not have any classroom management plans set in place. There are five students that disrupt the class daily. One student throws his chair, desk, and taunts the teacher along with other students. The other four students taunt each other about being "tough guys" and nearly get into fist fights daily. The teacher's reaction to all of these events is to ignore them. She acts as if she doesn't hear or see what is going on. The teacher ignores the situations until they get to the point that chairs are flying and the students are yelling. When things get to this point, she calls administrators. The calls to administrators are almost a daily occurrence too. When I am in the room I try to correct minor behaviors before they escalate, but I do not have the support from their teacher, so what can I do differently? The situations are making every day I go to the school miserable and I know the other students are miserable too. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would come up with possible behavior management techniques appropriate for their grade level and talk with your CT about implementing them with her support and effort. REMEMBER positive reinforcement goes a long way as well as getting to the kids and be-friending them to find out what the cause of the problem is specifically. If the teacher isn't receptive or open-minded to solving this problem I would certainly speak with your supervisor about this and even administration because this sounds like situations that are dangerous to other students and it is unacceptable to ignore those kinds of behavior that put all students at risk. |
