Schedule "off hours" to talk to the student about their behavior and ask yourself how you can tailor the lesson plan to keep them engaged.
Always listen first. Allow a frustrated student to get out their frustrations because maybe it is just a misunderstanding
Continuing with the idea of balancing class attention- don't let an individual student consume excessive amounts of your time. It is easy for one student to get you involved in his or her project. Get too involved with an individual project and time gets away from you, resulting in the In item 8, the suggestion is to balance your attention between all of your students. other students being "left out." Students notice that they can absorb your time and start to vie for your attention at the beginning of the class to ensure that they get preferential treatment.
Hearing out an angry student and having a conversation with them might be all they need. Often they are not angry with you, but it is, misdirected anger about something else.
Wow! So many things to do in a classroom besides teach! Now we manage student behavior. Strategies are: moving around, take the 20 second survey, eye contact. As far as exams & cheating ACC uses ATI exams. The instructor does stand at the back of the class to observe student behaviors. For the silent students I like the suggestion for students to write an "information card" the first day of class so I can get to know them & their experiences.
I learned the best position for the instructor during testing, I did not realize walking around the room may create anxiety. I also gained a better understanding of strategies to implement for the silent student.
Managing an angry disgruntled student is challenging, especially when they have no intentions of wanting or finding a solution. It can be disruptive to class. With the support of the director of the program, I was able to find a solution that was eventually accepted by the individual.
With my CTE course I've found projects help prevent cheating.
stay in control of your class, don't let a "problem" student destroy the learning in your class, take every opportunity to work out the issues the student is having and in worst case follow proper school procedure to have the student removed from class document interactions with student and options given, dates and times of these consultations
Extracting a disruptive uncooperative student from your class can be challenging, and navigating the best way to handle the situation is just as important.
Learned to continue to be observant at student languages, allowing space for students to talk when angry and methods on how to handle cheating and cheating opportunities
Being consistent in your expectations is so important - if you give consequences, you must follow through with them.
I like the learning related to monitoring students because it will help educators identify potential issues before there full blown problems. I also like the aspect of making 2-3 second eye contact with students and acknowledging positive interactions in real time. I thought the aspect of an angry student being able to infect other students was interesting. In nursing, i have certainly seen this happen on the floor and it makes sense that it could happen in the classroom. I think making the extra effort to connect with this student, Listen!, and ensuring this student feels heard could go a long way in diffusing a situation. Very helpful section!
Good strategies on cheating, also on the silent student. Confrontational is never the way to go, it usually doesn't end well.
Being calm and listening can be a big help in understanding a disruptive student. Having clear expectations of conduct and sticking to those expectations is important; being fair and consistent with all students is important. Evaluating students throughout the course for their grade instead of basing most of their grade on the final exam can help reduce the stress the students feel, allowing them to be more successful through the course.
It is important to address behavior early and have clear expectations for students.
Students who are cheaters will take every opportunity to do so. They have ethical issues to deal with. Eliminate as many of these opportunities as you can.
I have learned that no instructor wants to lose a student so try everything that you can to help make that problem student a part of your class
I like this. It has given me many options on dealing with a problem student. listen to them we as Instructors may not know what they are going through, just listening and being a mentor may resolve 99% of the issue.
When a student has an angry outburst, listening should be the first strategy in mitigating the issue
