Case: Class Ringleader Most times you have leaders of groups within a class or perhaps a child who is more talkative than the others and the class clown if you will. In one of my classes, however, I have a boy who seemingly controls the whole class. If he doesn't approve of the assignment then the entire class dismisses it as well. Is there a way to deal with this behavior privately within the classroom or directly with the boy without taking the situation to the administration? What would you do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would suggest creating a checklist and taking down the names of students who do not follow directions. The teacher should make eye contact with the ringleader of the class first and inform the student that if they choose not to do their work assigned, then they choose to have their name written down for a parent teacher conference. Focus on one student at a time as you gradually write names down. This will send the message to students that you are serious. Remind students that they are responsible for any incomplete work, and you do not mind giving zeros or assigning homework to students who do not complete their work. This quick response allows students to think about their behavior and self-reflect on the outcomes for their decisions. Students will less likely act out if they know what they are responsible for, and all students should be held accountable for their own work. |
