I had 2 students in the same class they tried to constantly interrupted the class. I sent 1 student of them home to chill. Suddenly the other student stopped interrupting the class. Has anyone of you out there had the same scenario happening before?
Know and strive to understand student roles and meet them where they are and with what they need. Recognize when barriers present themselves and deal with them proactively. DOn't approach every student the same way.
I am glad that dismissing students from class is presented as the absolute last result. Teachers must understand that every time a student is removed from the classroom, their likelihood of graduating from high school is reduced (this is even more true for students of color). With that in mind, it is the responsibility of the teacher to try everything they can to keep the student in class (I really liked the listening and notetaking as a way to diffuse a contentious situation).
Reply to David Wilson's post:Perhaps you can assign them to different groups with different topics for an assignments.
The most prominent thing I learned is how to deal with angry students. This is a challenge, but I hope to impliment the process outlined, especially the documentation of from their complaints. I believe this piece of advice can help in diffusing situations and in improving rapport. Hopefully the student will comply and the hard call would not have to be made.
When disruption of the other students becomes apparent, then it is time for the disruptive student to go. Yes it is hard but sometimes instructors have totake that action.
I feel that this has taught me to be able to look out for and potientially identify students who are looking to cheat
Removing destriptive student from class is hte best way to help other students learn better. In order to revome a student from class, admistration has to be involved.
I know that documentation of behavior is important, especially when it is inappropriate but sometimes you think it's just a one time and it hits you in the face at the end of the term if you do not nip it right away.
I learned about the different type of student behaviors and how to deal with them accordingly
Again, this learning experience has given me a lot of important information that I can use in my teaching career.
Making sure consequences are followed through. But also allowing student to voice their concerns.
I learned that being familiar with the institution's policies is very important especially when having to address situations with students.
Once again, I hear that getting to know the students and also reflecting on my approach to teaching and how I teach help students succeed.
This module provided various methods and ideas for handling different types of students I encounter. I am excited about implementing some of the strategies for getting the 'silent' student talking in class.
Cheaters are going to cheat!
listen to there concerns and let them vent
Students that disrupt the learning of others can be detrimental to the success of the other students in the class. Being able to help control this situation if it happens will help to put a stop to bad behavior. There are many skills and resources given to help with the situations is they arise.
The most important information is to always listen to student;s complaints before making a judgement. Allow students to express their their minds, address the seriousness of cheddting.
We will encounter many different types of students. The first thing is engage the student with communication and understanding no matter the issue may be. Create a plan for yourself and have the student create a plan for themselves on how to do better. Aalways as your colleges for advice and if need be involve the insitution or counseling center for help.

I have learned not to judge an angry student. ask if there is problem and see how you can work with that student.
