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!) Confrontation isn't always necessary! I struggle with it as well, and instead I use redirection, one-on-one attention, and reminders of expectations with all of my students and this seems to be effective with me. However, I first ensure a rapport is built with the students. It is unlikely that any student will respect you if they do not see you that care about them. Respect them and they will respect you alleviating many confrontational opportunities!                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Respect and compassion are so important when establishing leadership in the classroom!
