Classroom Management for Secondary Teachers #2, Old School Rules to Run a Classroom, Teacher Tips 

Great point, Jill! I also like to use an unconventional desk arrangement (more on that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-apEP5RFPOck.html), which helps ease things for the end-of-alphabet folks, like Wilsons and (to a lesser degree) Randazzos. :)

Lew Calhoun Absolutely, Lew. I had to learn the hard way, it seems. :)

Diane Clawson Yup! And they don’t have the added stress of navigating the unwritten social rules of Teenage Land. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@laurarandazzo1158 I don't assign seats. I let them sit where ever they want, so I can tell who will be the clowns, who wants to sit next to their talking friends, who wants to sit alone, etc. to move them, if I have to. :) They tend to keep the seats or become comfortable by the end of the first month. I do agree that some folks need to assign though. :)

She is my teacher hero.

I'm glad you found me, too! Welcome to the party. ❤️

Sounds like a formula for success to me, Heather. Go get 'em! ;)

Teacher Inspiration Station Thanks for watching, T.I.S.! I appreciate it. :)

Ab-so-lutely! Nailed it.

Laura Randazzo I got my credential in the early 2000’s. I think that a lot of new teachers are not being taught or guided through good classroom management now a days. Old school definitely has its benefits , lol

TheSleepy Teacher I’ve definitely heard from a lot of newbies over on my blog that classroom management is one of their biggest struggles. We can do a LOT more to support those folks.

Laura Randazzo I agree. It is a bit alarming that so many struggle with this. Maybe it just came naturally to me and over the years I’ve continued to better my craft, but I feel like I started with a much stronger understanding than most of the newbies today

TheSleepy Teacher You’ve given me the seed on an idea for a future video series, for sure. My project plate is full right now, but I just added this to my idea notebook. Thanks for the reminder.

Mr. HogansClassroom My pleasure, Mr. Hogan. Welcome to the party! :)

Jessica Kahan My pleasure, Jessica! So glad you found my channel. :)

Very kind of you to say! Thanks for watching. :)

School sucks

Rachel Ploharz Welcome to the fun side of the teacher’s desk, Rachel. So glad you found me!

I know, right? Let's just keep it simple, folks. Glad you found my channel, Acinomnieves3! :)

Of course, Adele! Here you go: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--E6wd-FVHPE.html Thanks for including me in your party. :)

Laura Randazzo thanks! I saw that one, but the title confused me.

Hey, Kylie! It's been a l-o-n-g time since I took my credentialing classes, so I don't have a lot to add there, I'm afraid. I did, though, post a job interview Q&A over my blog last year that you might find useful for the not-too-distant future: laurarandazzo.com/2016/09/27/and-my-actual-answers/ Hope this helps. :) Laura

+Created for Learning Heck yeah! That's how we roll around here.

Sure, Kristi! That's fine with me. Glad my ideas might be helpful. As far as citation, just use whatever format your application/school requires - APA, MLA, etc. Good luck! :)

@@laurarandazzo1158 Thanks!

Oh yeah, there's (Ha! See what I did there?) definitely a good deal of verbal sandpapering that happens in casual conversation. It even creeps into my formal writing, sad to say. I'm regularly going back to fix my "there's" to "there are." I think it's because my tongue doesn't like to make the double "-re, are" sounds in a row; it feels like a speed bump when I'm talking. And don't get me started on the ridiculous number of times I say, "like," or "um," in my videos. (*grimace*) Still, I figure the over-arching message is more important to deliver to RU-vid Land than to obsess about the flaws in my delivery. I'd like to promise that I'll get better in future videos, but I honestly probably won't. I'm already self-conscious enough on days that I film. Thanks for watching and commenting! You're saying the things I often think, for sure.

I've taught high school students for 20+ years, Bruce - I *am* silly. Also, my car is the only quiet place in my world where I can sit for five minutes without being interrupted. My life is what it is...

Wow... Yes, how dare she use repitition (a proven technique) with the very theme of her video. And she seems far more professional to me than a grumpy old man who leaves hate comments on youtube videos. No offense, but this is a dreadful comment under a lovely video.
