I like the option of quietly slipping a disruptive student a note, like an olive branch, to maintain their dignity in front of classmates and encourage cooperation.
This course is sorely needed. I really couldve used this,especially regarding the 'Classroom Discipline'. I defintely plan to utiize this. Very valuable indeed!
Some good tips in this course for classrooms management. Definatley adding some of these tips to my practice.
I learned many useful strategies and tips for managing control in my classroom. I especially appreciated the "Tips" and real world examples.
This course provided some interesting strategies to deal with disciplinary issues.
My expectations are that adult learners are self motivated and will have my idea of adult behavior as well; this is not always the reality. Generally I am very calm and not moved by minor infractions but when they are allowed to persist unchecked, the problem does grow, along with my annoyance and feelings of disrespect. The lesson emphasized early responses that will maintain my, the student's and the class integrity. I look forward to adding, the walk-by, the little note as suttle but powerful ways that may reset unwanted behavior without further steps being necessary.
I learned that is important for faculty to work as a team to promote consistency in school & classroom discipline.
These are great tools to handle behaviors in the classroom
Classroom management techniques presented were very valuable. While student teaching, I did witness a student verbally threatening a professor. Had she handled it in the manner in which it was presented, the outcome, I feel, would have been much more positive.
This was such an eye opener and I will definitely begin to apply all I learned right away.
Handing problems in a respectful manner and continue good classroom management
Criticize the behavior, not the individual!
It provides tools and methods to offer discipline.
This lesson will help me deal with those students who disrupt the class. I was always worried about how to handle those students the professional way. This has really helped me because I do not really like confrontation so this lesson showed me how to interact with those kinds of students
These were some great tips on managing classroom and student behaviors. When you think you've seen it all, the next problem child comes along.
In this module I learned about managing classroom behavior with disruptive students. The Adult learner is different than a child learner. We must treat the adult with dignity and demonstrate understanding for good classroom management. I like the tip about giving the student a note rather than reprimanding them in front of the whole class. The tip on handling tardy students was also useful and can help to stop the behavior. I have encountered many of these classroom behavior issues and maintaining my composure, being respectful and being consistent, were the keys to gaining control of the classroom.
this is such a good lesson!
Sure wish I would have had this information two weeks ago when I had a highly disruptive and confrontational student act inappropriately in my class. As luck would have it, being a new teacher, I did not have the tools to handle it appropriately and now I'm seeing why it didn't go that well. Darn it for my poor timing!
Great informaton presented here. One thing I would like to add is maybe instructors could utilize the "annnoucement" section in their online platform (i.e. blackboard or canvas). They can post an annoucement about students disrupting or coming to class late/leaving early. This way the individual student is not singled out and they feel embarrassed.
