Case: Being Viewed as the Teacher
I am interning in a middle school class, grades 6-7. My CT has procedures in place for a classroom management plan and for the most part it seems to be effective. The issue I am experiencing, even when I implement her procedures and expectations, is that the students don’t view me as the “teacher figure.” This is especially true in times where I am left alone with the students. I find that my CT and I have different demeanors - and I think that might play a role in how the students view us. I’m more soft spoken and don’t have a loud protected voice. How do I get the students to view me as another one of their teachers while still maintaining my softer, kinder demeanor? I don’t want to come across too harsh or unnatural sounding if I need to be more stern with the kids.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I tutor at a middle school and I find those kids especially difficult to deal with. I try to remain calm and not take their disruptive behavior to heart. I continue with confidence. I have a soft voice and demeanor as well so students do not feel like they need to listen to me. I just try and treat them like how you would anyone else, some level of respect and expect that respect back. Do not be condescending to your students. From what I can tell I am sure you do not look down on your students. It takes a lot of practice and everyone is constantly learning. |
