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
I learned that I need to set more clear expectations about classroom behavior. I have a hard time giving zeros and sticking to the consequences and I have let that get me runover so to speak. I plan to use all the strategies and be consistent with what is in the syllabus.
Strategies for effectively managing students who are silent, angry or cheating and those who are disruptive and may warrant being removed/dismissed from the class.
it is good to know your class and remain in control. there will be quiet students in the class, some that will try to cheat, some that will come to class angry, and so forth. It is important to know how to address each case and keep the class moving forward.
I learned to manage and monitor students who are silent in the class and allow angry student's the opportunity to vent.
I learned of many ways to deal with students and their behavior. For students that do not talk alot they can br put in groups . Also listening is a great way to hear the concerns of the students.
