Re: Disrespectful Students
Posted by Darren B. on 4/09/08

    Hang in there. You're so not alone! We all struggle with
    this type of behavior, even veteran teachers like myself.

    There are about a gazillion different class management systems
    out there. Tom on these boards uses a Humanistic Discipline
    system that seems to work very well. I use something like
    that, but I just don't call it that. Whatever you use, the
    crucial element will be the consistency with which you apply
    that system.

    You're correct in not arguing with your students. But do you
    have a consequence if they continue to argue? I taught
    expected behaviors at the beginning of the year and have
    reinforced them repeatedly throughout the year. When students
    don't exhibit expected behavior, they get a mark in one of
    five different categories. Students who do meet my
    expectations get a reward time on Friday. Students who don't
    meet my threshold sit out and read or catch up on work.

    Again, there are many different systems. You'll need to find
    one that works for you. Mine might. Tom's might. The Wong's
    might. You'll just need to be consistent.

    Hang in there!

    This free video is a sample of the training I'll be offering through my six-week online coaching.
