Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
Understanding each student's personality actually aides in managing student behavior. The understanding promotes patience and builds trust with the students. When students feel trusted, they will naturally behave better.
This module reiterated the importance of setting clear classroom expectations and encouraging positive behavior consistently. This can be addressed in the classroom by remaining calm when addressing students' behaviors, creating a respectful classroom environment, and having students take responsibility for their actions.
I learned that you need to monitor students behavior. Dont "pick on" quiet students but make sure they are engaged and participating. Have private discussions when I feel it needs to be had. observe class. make sure no one is cheating. If I feel a student isnt fully engaged or any other issue, I will pull them off to the side to have a discussion to figure whats going on and find a way to resolve.
We should not allow for opportunities to cheat. Give students clear answer to questions when preparing for the test. Teach students how to remember key facts instead of whole text. We should do our best to learn and know our students. We can see student behavior in their body expressions and face.
Deter cheaters but limiting opportunities for cheating.
A difficult student may be a challenge to the objectives of an instructor, but this also provides an opportunity for the instructor to refine and/or improve strategies for teaching in the classroom. This will increase effectiveness for what's being taught, and as the instructor makes goals and objectives of the course and the expectations from the students clear and obtainable, the better the success for each of the students. And in the world of CTE, the better prepared the students will be for success in their chosen career paths
I have learned that to successfully navigate these various types of students, I must first know my students. Navigating through the classroom, and getting to know the students individually will be invaluable in the management of their behaviors. It is also important to have a plan in place for the consequences of behaviors before the class session begins.
This module taught me the importance of actively monitoring students to ensure they are engaged, understanding the material, and making progress. I learned that not all struggling students are disruptive; some may be uninterested, withdrawn, or quiet, making it difficult to determine whether they are grasping the content. Effective teachers observe student behavior, ask questions, check for understanding, and build relationships that help identify students who may need additional support.
I will apply this knowledge by regularly monitoring student participation, using formative assessments, checking in with quiet students, and providing encouragement to students who appear disengaged. I will create a classroom environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, seeking help, and participating in activities so that all learners have the opportunity to succeed.
From this module, I learned the importance of monitoring students, understanding their behavior, and creating a positive learning environment. I learned that every student is different, and it is important to listen, stay calm, and handle difficult situations professionally. I plan to apply these strategies by paying closer attention to my students, encouraging communication, and addressing problems early to keep the classroom respectful and productive.
Moving thru out the classroom will be something I plan to do more. Observing that I have the attention of my class will be something I want to build on.
Its important to know how to manage your different types of students.
How to manage both quiet and disruptive students.
I have a few quiet students in each class, and while we do group/ panel work, I will try to catch them outside of class to build a rapport there. Maybe if I can get something going outside of the classroom it will overflow into it.
Understanding that working with administrators and the student, who has caused a hostile or disruptive environment, may need to be removed from class despite your love as a teacher to want to fix the situation.
providing a safe and fertile environment for each student is important. Managing angry/disruptive students is a skill that must be readily available in precise steps and deliberate sequence.
Angry or disruptive students present a particular challenge. If taking the time to listen and help diffuse the situation doesn't help, then it is important to get another faculty member or the director involved. If the behavior continues, then steps will need to be taken to dismiss the student from your course.
I learned in dealing with the various situations with students there are simple strategies that can be employed to resolve those incidents
I need to "circulate" more in class; even though I'm often 'tied' to the board in front of the room.
Having a student who is quiet in class is sometimes harder than someone who is outspoken. This is because you don't know if that student is learning or just shy. Creating opportunities for students to cheat increases the chances that cheating will occur. Finding and handling a cheating student can be just as hard as handling a student who is being disruptive in class. Both, though, have to be dealt with and can increase your rapport and respect from the other students.
