This is why they say teaching is a calling not everyone can be a teacher if you don't treat your kids like equal humans too that have different backgrounds and level of emotion.... If you can't handle it don't be a teacher this is not just a Job! I'm talking to some here that moans and complains sweeping generalization that all kids now are like that, You are the teacher teach what Respect looks like in a classroom setting not embarrass but correct them in a respectable way too.
New subscriber, great tips. I’m a substitute teacher and I wanted advice on how to handle students chatting, getting out of their seats and cursing at each other. Thank you
I don’t know how to teach that last lesson. I can’t even begin to design this lesson. What did you use for your example of a successful independent way of working ? Could you share your lesson step-by-step in a video? I had this exact issue with one of my classes. They wouldn’t work independently. 80% of my class too. Please help me learn exactly what you did!
2:33 She just said that because look how selfish she sounds the way she said that. God that sounds exactly one of my teachers when they used to bully me as a kid 🤦♂️
I feel link I’ll need to put this on my desk to guide me in those moments. What do you think about sharing these steps with students at the beginning of the year?
What are some strategies for not taking things personally from students disrespect? Ive had one student in particular who has been giving me a really hard time and it seems targeted at me
It’s worse when The Principal or Assistant Principal ask students to tell their version of a story involving a teacher and what the students say is the GOSPEL TRUTH. You better best believe respect has gone out of the window.
Thank you for sharing educator in training ❤ I’m trying to do better as well bc I can come off strong with delivery and tone and with an attitude bc of the disrespect the student gives. I wanted to find another approach, so thank you. I think a meeting should be had between me and the student. Even though I was minding my own business when all of a sudden that student said what are you doing to me bc I was sitting down thinking about what to do next and that student kept a grudge ever since, and tells my what she is not going to do.
Thank you for the wise tips, and it was short and to the point as well. I'm a contract private music teacher, and I have experienced a bit of disrespect from a student, who is not being as co-operative as I would like, he is smart, but I think he does'nt understand the meaning of practicing with good habits, I'm going to try to comunicate that, but he has this level of disrespect, that I'm trying to understand why is he being that way, I feel like he has a know it all type of vibe. Or who cares about this lesson it won't affect my grades. (I teach private lesson at a private school) so anyways, I will have to learn to work on my communication skills, and hopefully see a improvement.
What a wonderful video filled with wisdom and vulnerability! These are great tips that really work because I’ve practiced most of them. When it’s done consistently, it’s a game changer
1. Count to five 2. Stress walk 3. Mental health days 4. Release unrealistic expectations 5. Protect your lunch & planning time 6. Take a transition break after work
I’m here because I’ve been insulted by people that are younger than I am and I always wanted to know how to handle it also to put the exact words in a searchable context.
I’m staff support my students know I will write you up so quickly. I work with Seniors I will snatch that GPA down some notches. And erase those senior privileges🤷🏽♀️ They don’t play with me now
Exactly. I am also a University lecturer. Most of these videos are just related to kids. However, there are so many disrespectful and defiant students even at university level. I sometimes have to struggle alot with their behaviour. What would you personally suggest me?
Some people are meant to be teachers. If you can't relate to the population, group, age group or race of where you are trying to teach, move on. Having Genuine Empathy for the young generation and their society are a must have. Not just to be there for your paycheck or your own benefits. I've been in the teaching fields for many years from K-12, and have seen too many BA degree teachers leave from one school to another for various reasons but mainly due to stress from children. So, if you want to teach, then teach and mean it well.
Thank you for the very helpful and practical strategies you shared. These are very realistic and treat students with respect while still holding them to high behavior expectations!
Perfect timing at the end of the year when things can get challenging. I am excited to use the shout outs and for students to do 🙏🏼. Also something with kindness.
If Consequences aren't Working: 2 Main Methods 1. Modify the current consequence 2. Change the Consequence --What is the consequence? What is the need of the student? Are you being consistent? Delivery of Consequence? Appropriate Consequence to the Behavior? Allow the consequence of the undesirable action to last up to 10 school days.
Thank you so much! I am doing student observations and this helped me to understand the students better and gave me strategies to improve classroom management 💕
But what possible consequences can there be?You can’t toich them. You can’t raise your voice. Involving ad ministration only works if you are supported by the administration. This video is worthless.
I have some videos on my channel that gives specific consequences. You can check my playlist as well. Let me warn you, they do not involve hands on or straining your voice, and they may seem mild. But when consistently implemented they can and have been effective in many classrooms.
Treat them as responsible individuals not some sort of animals that theres always reward after doing acceptable behavior. Like what we do when we train dogs
