During this time, I took over with a substitute and a couple students were very disrespectful in my third period. They would completely ignore my comments, pull their phone out and rap profanities in the classroom. I tried everything to settle the situation(s). There aren't usually any issues when my CT is present, but I want students to understand that they must respect all teachers and adults. I ended up having one particular student sent to another class, and another sent to the office. What are some other ways that can help me manage student behavior when issues like this happen? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Making sure the students know what your expectations are at the beginning of class, just like a teacher does on the first day of school. Also, monitoring all behavior constantly and consistently so that you can correct bad behavior right away. It is important to show your ground and let them know that you aren't going to budge on your rules or expectations.
