Case: Student's Respect
Last semester I interned in a first grade class. The class was a bit... lively, but my CT managed it very well. Whenever she was not the one in charge of the class however, the students became instantly unruly. After watching the class I learned this was not just a problem I had as an intern, but also one other teachers seemed to have.
When I was in charge I used every tactic and reward/discipline system my CT used, but that didn't seem to make a difference in their behavior. While my teaching time wasn't a total disaster I was very frustrated when trying to manage them. What do you suppose I could have done to help keep the disruptions to a minimum? Was it right to use my CT's exact style? Or should I have tried my own form of discipline/management?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is inherently difficult for a teacher, other than the official classroom teacher, to garner the respect that a class has for their own teacher. That being said, there are a few things you can try. You do not need to emulate the exact same teaching style as your CT to be effective at classroom management. You simply need to find out what the students in the class like most and then make it clear that you control their access to it. It is important that you do this in a positive way. Once you determine what incentives you would like to offer, such as extra computer time or a trip to the library etc. you can implement a positive behavior plan in which you put the names of all the "on task" students in a special box or hat after every single lesson. It is a good idea to do this after every lesson at first so that the students can become familiar with it and experience the gratification of the reward rather early on. The time between incentives can be gradually lengthened as the behavior improves. Draw five names out of the hat/box to receive five or ten minutes of time doing something special. Lunch with the teacher can also work wonders :-) Good luck! |

Comments: I agree that you do not have to implement the CT to be an effective teacher and to just feel out how the students are in your own classroom. It is really hard to gain the trust if you are just in the room interning. I would let interning discourage how you will be in your own classroom. It is also important to have rewards for good behavior like you stated. |

Comments: This is a great solution and something I would definitely implement in my lesson. The use of incentives is a great way to motivate students to be respectful and minimize distractions. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do this because it is difficult for a new teacher to have the trust and respect of students. Trying different techniques and incentives can help. |
