I've learned to make sure to include all of the students in discussions and activities. I thought the idea of using a certain amount of cards to use to ask and answer questions was a good idea.
"All ambiguous behavior is interpreted negatively."
its important to understand students and where they are at. knowing this and engaging and interacting with them helps them do be who they are. cant always jump to conclusions as a teacher we must be Able to balance many personalities and learning styles and so on.
I learned how important it is to develop a strategy and different styles of teaching to work with challenging students
This course great insight on how to manage different behaviors in the classroom. Having more than one way to do this as well
Challenging students can make it hard for the rest of the class.
Challenging students need more ways to help become engaged in their learning.
Learning on what makes them tick...
Sometimes challenging students are on survival mode.
I learned some key indicators and gained knowledge on how to assist all students in the classroom.
The Harvard Business College video was good. A slight look askance can speak volumes to a student.
This model has provided me with tricks to keep all students engaged and the importance of addressing all students both quiet and vocal. Also, the importance to keep the rules enforced, and to hold accountability.
identifying students that may be a disruption early on is key to helping the instructor understand some students may need extra guidance to get back on track of their goals and why they wanted to come to school
I have learned new ways to deal with student behaviors, both good and bad. Treating all the students with the same respect and attention may help set a tone in the class for the "center stage student" to understand that other students are just as important as them.
Gained some useful tips and tricks to deal with students who are loosing interest in class. Keep the class rolling break into small groups and then come together to share each groups results on if they completed the task or not. And if not figure out if it was bad instruction or just a hard task.
The course has taught me to address the disruptions in class and to address them accordingly.
There are a number of unique ways to deal with disruptive students during class. It's a matter of properly engaging them and finding a method will be cause them to be more engaged without taking away from the remainder of the students in the class,
In my experience, I've found that I can harness the "exuberance" of students who crave the spotlight. I can often come up with a job for that student under the guise of "assisting" me. In math classes, I'll often make students who like to speak up and interject into my fact-checker. With a calculator, they'll check my mental math as I work out examples on the board. When other students offer answers, I'll have my assistant "verify" the answer before I write it. When a student asks me a higher order question, I'll have students give their theories or opinions before I answer and have my assistant write down all the various points of view. This redirects the silly energy into things that can contribute to the learning while at the same time, drawing that extroverted student deeper into the material. If they consider themselves to be a know-it-all, I might let them lead a small group on a more challenging problem while I work with other students who might need to catch up.
In this section, I learned about different types of challenging students as well as strategies to engage them.
In my orientation, we discuss student stereotypes with my assurance that I have been all of the stereotypes! We address common issues: the know-it-all, the shy person, the mumbler (someone complaining under their breath)...it has beens successful because I explain that highjacking the learning experience of others won't be allowed and students will be asked to leave if they engage in highjacking the room or hurting other students' learning opportunities. With that said, I like your colored-cards for talking - that might help the shy folks as well.
How to deal with challenging students, center stage students, manipulative students, students who come to class late or nonparticipative students, we must find strategies to enhance student learning and also deescalate the students' behavior, have a seating chart for the student who is inattentive, center stage student do not allow them to take center stage all the time, include those who do not choose or want to participate, the manipulative student must understand that they must complete their assignments without giving excuses or expecting extra points because you brought me a gift or frequently give compliments to the teacher.
