  Case: Dropout Prevention
I substitute at an alternative school for students who tend to dislike and treat school like it is the streets. I want to really be involved with the students and create a positive climate but they tend to feel as their is a threat every time something good comes their way. How can I make them feel that I am not threat while showing I care for them and their education?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a substitute teacher it is very difficult to function in a classroom and follow another teacher's classroom management plan, however your challenge is to gain respect and control of the class. Rather than trying to have students like you as a person, the focus should be to have them see you as a teacher. You can start by giving them your own expectations and consequences and set the tone for the time you are in the classroom. Use an authoritative voice to capture the students' attention and let them see you as a professional.

Comments: An authoritarian approach to student who don’t respect you or school systems at all night not work. While I agree you must adhere to the teachers management plan, getting to know students on an individual level is often the best way to engage them in class

Comments: This is not a good idea. This makes the teach appear tyrannical and less human. Students will not trust someone that can’t come down on their level.

Comments: These types of situations is less about respect and control toward the teacher, but gaining mutual respect between student and teacher. They are not just there as dogs to listen, they are there to learn and discuss.
