- 0:11variety of different topics some areas
- 0:14will include building a culture setting
- 0:16rules and expectations delivering
- 0:18consequences and handling classroom
- 0:19disruptions we will begin by exploring
- 0:22the teachers role in classroom
- 0:24management understand that the behaviors
- 0:27of the student within the classroom are
- 0:28a direct product of the teachers
- 0:30environment I'll give you an example a
- 0:33tale of two different teachers you might
- 0:35have seen a group of students that learn
- 0:37and behave well for one particular
- 0:38teacher but the same group will
- 0:41misbehave for another teacher the
- 0:43difference is the teacher teachers have
- 0:46a responsibility to create a safe
- 0:48environment for their students if they
- 0:50don't expect to find bullying and abuse
- 0:52in the classroom teachers must first
- 0:54focus on behavior get their attention
- 0:57and then focus on learning as each
- 1:01classroom is different each teacher
- 1:03should have their own viable classroom
- 1:05management goals the next topic is
- 1:09becoming seen as an authority figure
- 1:12when teachers present themselves in an
- 1:14authoritative manner it helps them gain
- 1:17the respect and Trust necessary to lead
- 1:19students the best way to be seen as an
- 1:21authority is to exude confidence be
- 1:24confident in yourself be confident in
- 1:26your ability to teach you'll never be an
- 1:28authority if you're afraid to challenge
- 1:31your students the ability to challenge
- 1:33someone is a sign of strength next be
- 1:35direct when speaking speak with
- 1:37conviction use strong statements to
- 1:39address misbehavior also don't get
- 1:42rattled stay calm and maintain your
- 1:44composure show that you're always in
- 1:46control
- 1:47be sure to stand up straight when
- 1:49teaching in front of the classroom it's
- 1:51a way to show confidence and power
- 1:53when addressing the classroom speak with
- 1:55a deep and steady voice do not rush your
- 1:57words they should wait and lastly dress
- 2:01like an authority it sends a message to
- 2:03your students that you're all about
- 2:04business now it's absolutely necessary
- 2:07to build your own classroom culture
- 2:10which will be a foundational support for
- 2:12your
- 2:12and instruction building a classroom
- 2:17culture begins with the vision and goals
- 2:19for success what you want to do is
- 2:21create a shared vision with your
- 2:23students ask them what they want out of
- 2:25the class and out of their lives use
- 2:28that vision to create some actual SMART
- 2:30goals specific measurable achievable
- 2:32realistic and timely
- 2:33now after you come up with these class
- 2:36goals you need to market them post these
- 2:38goals in the classroom on the walls use
- 2:41a growth mindset to achieve the goals
- 2:43it's about continually working and
- 2:45getting better and better until you
- 2:46achieve that goal
- 2:47be sure to reinforce the vision whenever
- 2:50you get a chance give your students a
- 2:52pat on the back encourage them and
- 2:54everything begins and ends with
- 2:56assessment evaluate your progress toward
- 2:58the vision so here are some vision
- 3:01examples for at-risk students it may be
- 3:03as simple as an increase in attendance
- 3:04or an increase in reading proficiency
- 3:07creating a family-like environment in
- 3:09the classroom fostering friendship
- 3:10decreasing bullying while getting your
- 3:13students on the right path in life the
- 3:16next step to building classroom culture
- 3:17is to incorporate rituals and themes
- 3:20teachers can use classroom rituals and
- 3:23celebrations to bring the class together
- 3:26know your students birthdays and
- 3:28celebrate their birthdays take the time
- 3:32to plan a field trip for the class get
- 3:34them out of the building bring in a
- 3:36class pet something like a fish I love
- 3:41when I see some high school teachers
- 3:42greet their students with a special
- 3:44handshake every once in a while show a
- 3:48movie as a break as a reward
- 3:50sending a positive note home will make
- 3:53all the difference in the world
- 3:54for that one child celebrate student of
- 3:58the month change it up every month and
- 4:00display all your students work showing
- 4:03the world and them how proud you are of
- 4:05them the third component to building a
- 4:08classroom culture is to meet your
- 4:10students needs all children have basic
- 4:13human needs that guide their behavior
- 4:15teachers should observe and ensure their
- 4:18student needs are being met the two
- 4:20leading theories in education or by
- 4:21Glasser and Maslow class are states that
- 4:24teams will behave in a way to meet their
- 4:26the first need being survival as all
- 4:29children will need food shelter and love
- 4:31the next need is to feel empowered
- 4:33children want to feel power over their
- 4:35lives they want to feel freedom they
- 4:37want to be able to make decisions and
- 4:39choices that affect their lives human
- 4:42beings are social creatures everybody
- 4:44wants to belong so do students and
- 4:47lassie your students are going to want
- 4:49to have some fun on Tomaso's hierarchy
- 4:51which is similar to glasses in masses
- 4:54hierarchy the most basic needs are at
- 4:57the bottom and they move upward these
- 4:59needs include physiological safety love
- 5:02and belonging esteem and at the top
- 5:05self-actualization and the last step to
- 5:07creating a classroom culture is to
- 5:09create the proper environment for
- 5:11student learning teachers must make
- 5:14their classroom safe clean and aesthetic
- 5:16the room should be neat and clean it's
- 5:19not just a generous responsibility it's
- 5:21also the teachers ensure students are
- 5:24not on top of one another they just like
- 5:27anyone else need their personal space
- 5:29lighting should be adequate in the room
- 5:31they have to be able to see the board to
- 5:33see their papers arrange the classroom
- 5:36in a way that limits traffic and allow
- 5:37students to easily move try and provide
- 5:41a quiet space it could even be used for
- 5:44a timeout if necessary your classroom
- 5:46should be decorated accordingly science
- 5:49posters for science classrooms don't
- 5:51forget to include your students cultures
- 5:53the classroom environment should be a
- 5:55blend of the personality of the teacher
- 5:56and the personality of the students
- 5:58that's how you decorate your room the
- 6:02next section is classroom rules and
- 6:04regulations and we're going to first
- 6:06look at rule establishment rules are
- 6:09important because they inform students
- 6:11of the behavior that is expected of them
- 6:13when creating rules you want to have
- 6:15about 3 to 5 rules any more than 5 and
- 6:18don't expect the students to remember
- 6:19have them written in positive statements
- 6:22say arrive on time instead of don't be
- 6:24late
- 6:25they must be clear and specific avoid
- 6:29writing them as long sentences and
- 6:31lastly give the student a say in the
- 6:33rules ask them if they have a problem
- 6:34any suggestions about the rules
- 6:38next you have to enforce the rules a
- 6:44teachers rules must apply to all
- 6:46students all of the time no exceptions
- 6:50consistency is key you have to enforce
- 6:53rules day in and day out and that means
- 6:56enforcing them in a manner that is fair
- 6:58for all students you cannot play
- 7:00favorites
- 7:01to further enforce the rules have them
- 7:03posted somewhere in the classroom for
- 7:05all students to see also if you're on
- 7:07the flow of your lesson maybe enforce
- 7:09the rule a little later on teachers
- 7:12should avoid having the principal
- 7:13enforce the rules for them principals
- 7:15are often too busy and it's a sign of
- 7:17weakness lastly to enforce rules you
- 7:21have to be able to track them an example
- 7:23is elementary teachers using stop signs
- 7:27we're moving on to the next section
- 7:29procedures which will have your class
- 7:32running like a well-oiled machine
- 7:33procedures can create an organized safe
- 7:36and controlled classroom here are
- 7:39several areas where you should develop
- 7:40procedures for your students to follow
- 7:42the first was to have a procedure for
- 7:44distributing materials have a procedure
- 7:46for taking attendance and it should
- 7:48start with everybody showing up on time
- 7:49you must have a procedure in place for
- 7:52taking tests voices off face forward
- 7:55have procedures for group activities in
- 7:57order to stop students from talking over
- 8:00each other practice speaking procedures
- 8:03bathroom use procedures are useful at
- 8:05all levels that way learning isn't
- 8:07interrupted as the student has to leave
- 8:09have a bin for students to place their
- 8:11homework so you don't have to wait for
- 8:13them to find it and you definitely want
- 8:15a procedure in place for what students
- 8:17should do if they should finish early
- 8:18their boredom will lead to misbehavior
- 8:21on to the next section which is
- 8:24consequences and I'll start with the
- 8:26basics first off the consequences should
- 8:29be known by the students they should
- 8:31know what they are getting into when
- 8:32they misbehave stress the cause and
- 8:35effect relationship clearly explain to
- 8:37the student what caused the consequence
- 8:39when creating consequences try it and
- 8:42align them with your school's vision
- 8:44reinforce positive behaviors whenever
- 8:46you can give high classwork grades for
- 8:49those who behave let your students know
- 8:51it's not personal when you issue them
- 8:53consequences it's just business here are
- 8:56just a few examples of consequences
- 8:58email to parents detention timeout
- 9:01moving seats personal one-on-one talks
- 9:03loss of privilege making students have
- 9:05written apologies and so many more you
- 9:07can think of at this point I just want
- 9:12to take a quick break and ask that you
- 9:13don't forget to give me a quick thumbs
- 9:15up a light for this video back to the
- 9:18material and will enter the
- 9:19documentation part of consequences a
- 9:23teacher once said if it wasn't
- 9:26documented than it didn't happen
- 9:27teachers should document any serious
- 9:30incidents that they had with the student
- 9:32it's for their own protection when you
- 9:34actually write down what a student did
- 9:36that action becomes permanent and the
- 9:38student knows it's on their record write
- 9:40it down word-for-word
- 9:42so everybody knows what was said it
- 9:44makes a difference be sure to jot down
- 9:46exact dates times locations witnesses be
- 9:50as specific as possible make sure that
- 9:52you're organized keep a parent log store
- 9:55alright ups in the same place like in a
- 9:58file cabinet however it's best to be
- 10:00digitally organized today electronic
- 10:02folders will work even better
- 10:04now on to the last section of
- 10:06consequences which is implementation the
- 10:10first question is when should teachers
- 10:12respond to behaviors and implement
- 10:14consequences if at any time someone
- 10:17safety is at risk
- 10:18you must intervene never allow your
- 10:21students to disrupt learning immediately
- 10:23deal with the disrupter and if any of
- 10:26those three to five rules you created
- 10:28are broken you have to respond and when
- 10:31responding you want to do it as quick as
- 10:32possible unless it's a minor
- 10:34interruption in which case you keep
- 10:36teaching your consequences should be
- 10:38logical if a student throws a paper on
- 10:40the floor make them pick it up when
- 10:43responding to student behavior make sure
- 10:45that you the teacher maintains the
- 10:47student's dignity and inherent respect
- 10:49lastly consider using behavioral lesson
- 10:52plans I'll post some of the description
- 10:54links below
- 10:55the next section is classroom
- 10:57disruptions and we'll start with minor
- 10:59disruptions minor disruptions are those
- 11:02behaviors that do not warrant punishment
- 11:04but still compromise learning some
- 11:07examples include students tapping their
- 11:09pencils
- 11:10whispering doodling giggling etc etc etc
- 11:13now one method to deal with this is to
- 11:16quickly get quiet during the middle of
- 11:17the lecture bringing attention to the
- 11:19student if you don't want to stop
- 11:22instruction maybe give the student a
- 11:24quick look another way to signal to the
- 11:26student is to leave a small note on the
- 11:28interrupting students desk
- 11:30quickly mention the student's name to
- 11:32get them back on task a non-intrusive
- 11:34way to deal with minor interruptions is
- 11:36to quietly tap on the students desk but
- 11:39the most important thing is to realize
- 11:40that you don't want to be the one to
- 11:42stop student learning
- 11:43don't let a minor disruption ruin the
- 11:46flow of learning unlike a major
- 11:47disruption don't overreact and sometimes
- 11:51you could actually just ignore the
- 11:52behavior do be careful with the ignoring
- 11:54technique though next up is chronic
- 11:59disruption that is the continuation of
- 12:03behaviors even after being addressed by
- 12:05the teacher and the best way to deal
- 12:07with chronic disruptions from a
- 12:08particular student is to gradually
- 12:10increase the degree of consequences like
- 12:13walking a student up a ladder because
- 12:14the behavior is chronic be sure to
- 12:16document the exact number of times the
- 12:18behavior occurs ensure that students are
- 12:21taking responsibility for their actions
- 12:23tell them it was your choice or
- 12:25consequence both teachers and students
- 12:28should move forward towards conflict
- 12:30resolution strategies one suggestion for
- 12:33chronic misbehavior is to have the
- 12:35student sign a behavior contract with
- 12:38chronic behavior students get the
- 12:39parents involved schedule a conference
- 12:41make phone calls to them to find the
- 12:44cause of chronic behavior problem
- 12:46conduct a functional behavioral analysis
- 12:48now because each student is different
- 12:50you're gonna have to find the most
- 12:51effective consequence for each
- 12:53individual student for the teacher it
- 12:55always helps to take some notes and
- 12:56reflect on what has been working and
- 12:58what hasn't been working
- 13:01on to the third type of disruption which
- 13:04are major disruptions these types of
- 13:09disruptions that endanger teachers and
- 13:11students
- 13:12examples include destruction of school
- 13:14property
- 13:15fighting starting fires making threats
- 13:19and bringing in weapons before you
- 13:22actually deal with these types of
- 13:24behaviors you first have to read your
- 13:26school policy also you should know your
- 13:29students read their IEP s and their 504
- 13:31plans check for medical issues with
- 13:34major incidents you must contact your
- 13:37administrator unlike with minor
- 13:38disruptions be prepared to know where
- 13:42the first-aid kit is located and where
- 13:44the nearest exits are and if you're ever
- 13:46threatened as the teacher be sure to
- 13:48speak with your teachers union about
- 13:50what steps to take to protect yourself
- 13:53the next topic is instruction for
- 13:55classroom management well-planned
- 14:00engaging lessons will decrease student
- 14:02behavior problems to avoid boredom
- 14:05chains of your lessons don't do the same
- 14:07routine every day have clear objectives
- 14:10to keep your students on task working
- 14:12towards a goal inquiry based learning
- 14:15activities are engaging and foster
- 14:17problem-solving skills I've seen wonders
- 14:20using fun hands-on learning activities
- 14:22like bridge building for my BD classroom
- 14:24talk to your students and find their
- 14:26interests and use that knowledge to
- 14:28create activities an emergent curriculum
- 14:31you need lesson planning for your
- 14:33instruction to run smoothly and keep
- 14:35children on task and some you were in
- 14:38jokes to your instruction the students
- 14:40will actually enjoy the class meeting
- 14:41and lastly you have to differentiate
- 14:43instruction the students require work
- 14:45that is challenging but that they're
- 14:47able to complete
- 14:50now we're gonna wrap this thing up with
- 14:52some final thoughts remember you're
- 14:56going to have to routinely reteach rules
- 14:58and procedures students are going to
- 15:00forget especially after a vacation it's
- 15:03important to try and understand some
- 15:05common reasons that students misbehave
- 15:08those reasons include unclear limits
- 15:10wanting attention boredom avoiding work
- 15:13home issues pick your battles not every
- 15:17day has to be a war also it's okay when
- 15:21your students misbehave remember many of
- 15:23their problems aren't about you the
- 15:24teacher classroom management is
- 15:28something you have to work on make it
