Give support to all. Though different students need different support.
I learned the different methods of dealing with the different types of behavioral issues and Plan to implement all the strategies.
I learned about minutes papers to have the students explain what they learned from the lesson that day and how it can help keep the ones that have trouble keeping focus. I also learned addressing issues early and focusing on where the behavior is coming from than giving a snap emotion. Also give all of your students same attention and not show favorites
I plan to incorporate the "use it wisely" cards in my classroom. My class is usually made up of all girl students so they tend to fight for attention. This may be a good strategy to try.
managing challenging behavior effectively hinges on proactive intervention an emotional regulation. ive learned that by prioritizing consistency over emotional reaction i can address the root causes of disruption .
It takes time to learn each student and I feel like having to do it in one semester doesn't give you time to make sure they are successful. Using different activities to keep them engaged allows them to see that they can do more than they thought.
There's always that one student and it's usually the one I like best because they actively participate, but then you can't stop them. Everyone needs an even opportunity to get attention
I like the idea of moving through the class to alert students not paying attention of the instructors presence.
When I have really talkative students I will find a different activity for them to do in the kitchen. This lets them know that I am keeping an eye on them and they need to be on their best behavior
I liked the strategies for dealing with students that lack interest in the content because it is not relatable to them. I have a lot of students that did not want to take my class but were just given my class. I also liked the strategies for the center stage student. I have one of these this year and this student is a handful. I like the card system allowing them to speak only a certain number of times. Overall, this section was very informative and gave me lots of ideas on how to deal with some of my students.
What stood out most was about the inactive student. It is important to make sure these students really understand the why in the lesson. I've learned an accountability strategy where students write a minute paper. This will make them accountable and attentive because students know they have show what they've learned.
learned how to deal with problem students and inattentive students. Also, the effects of putting students in groups can be
Some really interesting info. in this section. I truly appreciated the comprehensive breakdown of student "types" in the room. For me--as a secondary school professional--the present chapter/section seems to focus on ADULT students...not teens. Teens are undoubtedly less mature--so it'd be great to extend this section to include middle & high school level students.
It is beneficial to the instructor and the class as a whole to include the students that want to be the center of attention while also getting more reserved students to participate, especially in group work. It earns the respect of all students and actively shows that each person's contribution is valued.
I learned to get students to understand the importance of the lesson as well as include everyone and to pay attention to which students are centerstage students and those who just want to get by with less responsibility.
Get to know each student as an individual. They will each have their own way of learning. It will also build a relationship to help them learn.
Meeting with center stage student(s) allows in directing their energy and allowing other students to participate.
Get to know your students and their actions. Knew which ones are there to learn and those that will want to manipulate you.
I learned a great deal with this topic. I loved the idea given of an "observer" to better deal with the center-stage student. I will use it from now on.
