It is a good idea to motivate students to earn rewards of your choice and their choice, such as free time, etc. The students can win more rewards as groups. That way the students motivate other students to behave. Peer pressure works well to discipline students

No, they need support and mutual respect. That is the crucial part, if the students feel the need to talk back your're doing something wrong. Also the world is changing, "structure and discipline" isn't the right path nowdays. There's so much stuff to cover, the whole education system is just in general nonfunctional. If the fundimentals are rigged you can't expect more from children who have no choice but to spend a third of their lives in a classroom.

Hi, what's your procedure for removing students from a class? From what I know, sometimes it's a bigger risk to try and do it 1 They would be happy to get away from the class and misbehave over and over again for the sake of it. 2 They wouldn't just quietly wait outside, they'd mess around or run away causing even more problems. And another thing that isn't helping - in our school it is actually forbidden to remove them. Once you do it, you've got to point out the exact place for them to stay and hand out a task to do. But it won't work, see above why...(

You must draw up a set of rules and let them know. Also, let them know the consequence if they disobey. When they do, make sure to apply the rule, otherwise they wont take you seriously. If you have only one naughty kid, ask him/her to stay behind so you can have a private chat : make sure you are very nice and friendly, but firm. Try to get the kid on your side. Usually naughty kids have problems at home, if you listen to them, you'll be surprised.

There are two ways to be an effective teacher. The students need to believe that you care about their life and that they can trust you. I also use guided meditation and yoga breathing with them. I taught in a gang school where every student had a gun or a knife. I wrote a book to use with meditation. “Meditation For People Who Can’t Meditate.”

Very accurate ! I just finished my first year and I had the same issues in some of my classes, but without knowing it, I applied some of these techniques, and they really work! It's tough, some of the kids will hate you but at the end, they became well-behaved and more respectful in class. They knew what to do and not do. They need rules as much as you do.

I agree with what you said 100%. Also this same method and attitude needs to be used when dealing with parents. The parents today allow their children to get away with too much. This is why I would never teach in a public school. It has to start in the home in order for their children to respect the teacher. Your methods do work but the parents of these difficult children have to be handled in the same way. No more teacher intimidation is to be tolerated from parents. Most of my students parents have their act together, but there are a few who really should have never had children and quite frankly are you useless in a productive society.

You spoke my mind. Being a teacher is not an easy job. You deal with a high level of dysfunction and it done on you why some kids are the way they are.

This sounds very encouraging and makes sense. So what would be a consequence if you talk to a misbehaving student and cut him off while he's trying to discuss about the rule or his behavior but the student would not stop talking and just go on distracting the lesson? Let's say he has to leave the classroom and he wouldn't do so or as another option: he would leave the classroom but other students would start distracting the lesson on purpose as some kind of revenge for you letting this other student sit outside the classroom? I mean, you can't put more than 1 or 2 students outside the classroom, so what would you really do in such a situation? I mean you can tell yourself that you won't ever let the students play with you but you need to be prepared and to know what you will do if something as I described should happen.

I told to those kids do misbehaving in my class to get out and then their parents called and complained about it and said this was child abuse. I'm working in Korea and unfortunately, they do whatever they want.

Hi 델리빈, sorry to hear about your experience. I work in Korea too and that must be an awful experience. We should try not to chase them out of class and instead build relationships and rules. It sounds like that class is really sour so it'll take some time to get them back on your side. Try to work on your relationship with them but also let them understand the rules of class. 1 idea is to give them 5 simple rules in class that they can remember, then ask them if they have 5 things (reasonable things) that they want from you. Then, once they misbehave remind the class of those rules. Ask them of you broke theirs. If they persist call they student after class to talk about it personally without the other learners present. Hope this helps and good luck! 🙏

Maybe you could start by sharing some ideas, tips right here :)

Why aren't "Class Expectation" sheets handed out and reviewed day one? A week later, give a quiz on the rules. This includes behavior and rules for absence make- up work. Why not have students write their personal goals for the class? Have them state what they want to accomplish and how they intend to do so. What struggles with the subject have they had in the past? What will they do differently to overcome them? One good technique when students are not behaving is to be silent and look at the clock. Usually, someone will realize what is happening. Let them know you are counting the minutes that they need to make up. ( I had senior classes that had a rotation schedule.) When they are your last class of the day, the minutes wasted will be added to the end of that class since you and they need to cover the full curriculum. If a student says they cannot stay that day...fine, they stay the next day. If a student is absent that day or goes to a sport early....fine, they make it up the next day. This will usually get most of the class to settle down and frown upon the few trouble makers whose behavior is no longer seen as fun by the others. Just one trick in the bag.

Thanks for this Eric! It has given me a good framework to follow to help me regain the confidence and control I felt I originally showed. I need to better guide my classroom, which has gone haywire after a couple of weeks of teaching them. It's time to move them in a positive direction and relieve some of the stress and self-doubt that has started to surface inside me. Very much appreciated!

The kids follow the leader in class. By him stealing the attention and you reacting to the clown in the wrong way, you are giving him power. They have no choice but to look at him. The correct way to deal with it is to take his power away. Don't react to his joke but rather tell him calmly not to disrupt class and redirect the rest of the class back to work. I know it is difficult and it will take some practice but eventually it will become second nature. Good luck!

I am a TA filling in for another TA on long-term leave in a kindergarten class. The class is unruly and as a consequence, I don't see a lot of learning and its honestly a very unhappy place. I worry that it's unsafe. I've been in other classes and there are kids who have particular disruptive issues that are long-standing, but in general the classes are well-behaved. The one I am in now is a house on fire. The disrespect is rampant and it is often impossible to handle because when I treat one issue, two others pop up around the class. I have been taught that the teacher sets the culture and I am there to assist the teacher, but I often have the class to myself and they are worse with me than they are with the main teacher. Basically, I feel hobbled by my secondary, temporary, and come-lately status. I want to contribute and help this class, but the school day is more like battle. I am grateful for any help! Thank you.

I remind them of the Playdough challenge before we walk through the halls, and settle in for lunch. I love having a way to recognize and reward good behavior. Also, I'm working with some others involved to make the room more structured and less chaotic. Simple things like having the kids only go two by two to hall to retrieve their lunches and pairing student who shows responsible behavior with a student who has shown challenging behavior. Some other TA's have been lovely helping me and giving me tips, too. One told me that I cannot let anything pass. Address everything, every time. Be serious, but also tell them you know they can do better and know they will. I am nowhere near out of the woods, but things seem to be a bit better with most of the class.

Adopt the mantra, “I refuse to let you fail.” Elaborate to the class that you contract with them to do ALL in your power to help them find success. You will do everything it takes on your part to pave the way. Emphasize that according to this pledge, if a student persists at failure, then that will be evidence of that person’s choices. Classroom rules should be brainstormed as a group, agreed upon, and posted one at a time, prioritizing according to urgency. Can you feel the difference in tone, and picture the buy-in? This represents a shift from the top-down, authoritarian people manager intervention of the Industrial Era model promoted in this video to establishing a student-centered, intrinsic, more self-regulating climate.

Hello Eric, great video but l don't think l can use this technique in my situation... I am a midday assistant in a primary school, been there just for two months. I have this issue of getting a class quite after they finish with their meal. I am the person who doesn't shout although I have a loud voice, and for me it is quite tricky to calm the class down. There are few individuals who trigger those situations so l am trying to get them back in their seats. I am calling their names for so many times but it doesn't work. If it does, then only for few minutes and then they're back on they feet. I am walking around and calling their names again and again. As soon as a supervisor comes in and shouts out from her lungs, there is silence but l don't want to do it that way.... I do understand that when they finish with their meal they still have time before we have to go outside and they're bored and that's why they act like that. So, what could l do in my situation? P.S The children know the rules very well because they are as little angels nodding when senior speaks. Thank you very much in advance.

Very difficult I Ara. Write the students name on a small white bord or piece of paper show it around the room and just sign with your hands no speaking to join you infront of the room. Kids don't want to be single out infront of there classmates.

Hi, thanks for the great video. I teach in Korea and I have a dilemma. I have to check and grade homework at the beginning of class everyday. In this 10 minute window, the kids don't have any tasks so they start speaking loudly in Korean. I told them to speak quietly in English, but they always end up speaking in Korean and getting louder and louder (usually teasing one another or something silly and inappropriate). I have tried to have conversations about their hobbies while I grade but it's hard for me to multitask and it prolongs the grading. I also have tried giving them English word puzzles and word searches but most of them don't try and speak anyway. Any suggestions for what to do in this 10 minute window? I'd say for the rest of the class they are manageable but if this period is noisy, it sets the tone for the rest of the class and it's starting to get out of control.

Maybe you should give them some easy writing task or give them listen some audio for listening practice

Hi, l'm a teacher from lndia & l've been teaching for the last 27 years. The solution to your problem is easy. Appoint a monitor or two to keep the class quiet while you work.

Hello ,@Salvasquared Music Could you not change that window to the end of the class so that you start with everyone’s attention . Then In the last 10 mins give them something to do in silence. Depending on their level , reading or even better the chance to start homework if there is any that day . I guess they get a lot of homework so you could be doing them a favour ! An extra mark could be given for concentration and attitude during class and this 10 min period Catch them being good and reinforce good behaviour with a thumbs up , smile or nod of the head . This is complimentary to the advice given in the video .

Seems a strange way to arrange your lesson. Here in Vietnam, I mainly teach Maths and Science, in English, to junior kids. If you seriously don't have time to mark their homework after the lesson, at class start why not give them a worksheet with some math problems (OK it's not English, but most kids seem to like doing them). IME English is best taught interactively, speaking and listening, with reading and writing for homework. Giving them printed material is just too much overload, unless you are all going to work through it together where the kids can ask teacher to define any difficult words.

Perhaps play an English song and they have to write all the words they can write down. A prize goes to the student with the most words written down

My class in 3rd was horrible. Kids talking to other kids, out teacher putting our heads down

Shame about the ads! I like to watch while washing up! It’s so irritating to have to stop and dry my hands repeatedly, just to hit that skip button. As for the advice, I do enforce the rules, but they really like to test the boundaries. Trying to gain control when they won’t even stop to listen to me is not easy.

Hi, can you please help me. I am a substitute teacher and sometimes I get mad at myself because when I cover a class for the regular teachers, the kids in that class are already disrespectful towards me the moment I enter their classroom and they come inside to learn and think they can do whatever they want because they think it's a sub there and they think there will be no consequences. What should I do with them in this scenario when the regular teacher is not around and I am covering her class. Usually I let their teacher know at the end of the day who was being disrespectful and they listen to her immediately, but not to me or any other subs, and that's very discouraging. Like today, I had to repeat 10 times for the kids to sit on the carpet and their regular teacher only had to tell them once. What should I do? Maybe I should have them exit the classroom and start from scratch and have them re-enter and tell them in a firm manner, "this is *not* how you behave in my classroom". Please let me know what your thoughts are. Thank you so much for your tips.

I'm sorry to hear that you're facing challenges with classroom management when covering for regular teachers. It can be frustrating, but there are several strategies you can employ to address this issue effectively. Here are some tips: Set Clear Expectations: Start by establishing clear expectations and classroom rules as soon as the students enter the classroom. Let them know what behavior is acceptable and what is not. Be specific and firm but also fair. Be Confident: Confidence is key when dealing with students. Even though you're a substitute, project confidence in your ability to manage the classroom. Speak with a clear and assertive voice. Build Rapport: Try to establish a positive rapport with the students. Greet them with a smile and take an interest in their names and interests. Building a positive relationship can make them more likely to respect you. Consistency: Consistency is crucial in classroom management. Ensure that you enforce the rules consistently throughout the class. If you let one student slide on a rule, others may follow suit. Positive Reinforcement: Praise and reward students for good behavior. Positive reinforcement can go a long way in encouraging the right behavior. Redirect and Engage: If students are being disruptive, try redirecting their attention to the lesson. Engage them in the learning process and make the material interesting to capture their interest. Consequences: If a student continues to be disrespectful or disruptive, apply appropriate consequences. This might include time-outs, loss of privileges, or notifying the regular teacher. Involve School Policies: Familiarize yourself with the school's policies on classroom management and behavior. Follow these policies when necessary, and don't hesitate to seek help from school administrators if needed. Exit and Re-entry: If a situation escalates, you can consider having the students exit the classroom and re-enter, setting clear expectations for behavior. However, it's best to reserve this as a last resort. Feedback to the Regular Teacher: Continue to communicate with the regular teacher about any classroom management issues you encounter. Share both positive and negative experiences. This can help the teacher address the behavior when they return. Remember, classroom management can be challenging for even experienced teachers, and it might take time to establish your authority as a substitute. Be patient with yourself and with the students. Over time, with consistent application of these strategies, you should see improvements in classroom behavior. If you have any more specific questions or need further guidance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Teaching can be tough, but with perseverance and the right strategies, you can make a positive impact on your students.

In my school teachers go to the students classrooms. The students are noisy and have no interest in learning.

Dear Erick I am teaching English and one of our problems is, that we should encourage our students to speak more English than their native language. Is there any advice about this? BTW thanks for your great videos

Welcome Saba. Yes to encourage speaking english can be challenging. Let them watch english movies or drama series for homework and report back to the class. Find out what their hobbies or favorite sport are and let hem do a presentation.
