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!)
With this generation of students you have to be assertive. It is important to stand your ground and let them know that you are in charge. You do not have to change your demeanor to do this but you might have to be more assertive. Middle schoolers, and high schoolers are going to test to see what they can get away with. You have to be prepared for this. You might have to get outside of your comfort zone to get their attention and to let them know your are in charge. This does not make you a mean teacher at all. Its you letting them know what the boundaries are and you will not be disrespected. |
