Case: Disciplining Students One of my biggest weaknesses is confrontation. My whole life I've struggled with being a confrontational person, and I Worry that once I begin teaching I will still struggle with this in the classroom. I know how easy it is to lose control over a classroom, and the importance of disciplining students and correcting misbehavior before it spreads. But if anyone else has struggled with confrontation like I do, what measures should I take to become comfortable with confrontation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I will say that one of the first things you can do, is change the way you see the interactions you will inevitable have with your students, as not confrontations, but merely guiding them to how they can be better members of our society. Refocusing your out look on these situations and no longer seeing them as confrontations, may make dealing with student behavior issues easier. Also, remember that at the end of the day, it is the student's choices, decisions that are resulting in your reactions. If you have set clear expectations, rules and procedures up at the beginning of the school year, a student deciding to deviate from those actions, has made the decision themselves to act that way. For some students, they will only need simple reminders; which doesn't have to be seen as a confrontation, just merely a redirection. For the more difficult situations, going into them not being afraid will make it easier. Yet, your voice will develop over time and the longer you are teaching, the more confident you will become and the more confident you will be in dealing with these situations. |
