Hey guys,

I'm currently looking into the theory of Rosemary and Harry Wong. I've been reading a lot of their work and noticed it was mainly about how to prevent an incident in the classroom. While this is all well and good, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how how they believe teachers should react to an incident that as occurred. For example, I had a student hit another student in class. How would Harry and Rosemary Wong say I should respond to this?

Thanks!

Happy teaching.

What I've discovered is that 90% of successful classroom management is determined by the representation and expecta...See More

AkomaTeach I have to agree with this - following the school's policies and protocol and reflecting on why the fight happened and what can be done to prevent it from occurring again. Fighting in the classroom puts the students involved in the fight as well as the other students observing at risk. Also, students don't usually fight all of a sudden. There's usua...See More

AkomaTeach And I'd have to say that the other 10% of successful classroom management is determined by circumstances that teachers simply cannot control, but can only manage as best they can. For example, there will be instances in which a teacher can use every trick in the book to better manage a student to no avail. That is when it's time to employ the help ...See More
