  Case: Disrespectful Students
This week, my CT was out for a conference in Orlando. During this time, I took over with a substitute and a couple students were very disrespectful in my third period. They would completely ignore my comments, pull their phone out and rap profanities in the classroom. I tried everything to settle the situation(s). There aren't usually any issues when my CT is present, but I want students to understand that they must respect all teachers and adults. I ended up having one particular student sent to another class, and another sent to the office. What are some other ways that can help me manage student behavior when issues like this happen?

Stand. Your. Ground. If you make a threat for a consequence, follow through! I had to say make an example out of one student, but it would work. If the rest see you are serious about punishing their behavior they will start to shape up. Also, try bringing in a reward as well. Maybe a treat or a cool small item?

Comments: This is the best solution in my opinion. You can't let the students think they can do whatever they want just because somebody new is in the classroom - they're testing the boundaries they can push and you have to show them that nothing has really changed. Rewards are also great because it will lessen behavior problems but I would stay away from treats and offer something easier like computer time or something.

Comments: I agree 100% with this solution. It is important to stand your ground and follow through with any consequences that are threatened. If you were to threaten a consequence for a student and never follow through, the rest of the students will think that they can walk all over you because you have not followed through with any of the consequences that you said you were going to give.

Comments: I agree with you. In these cases the students are overpowering the teacher and so the teacher needs to step up and be more authoritarian.
