Another Nurse Hack that I find really works with my kids is letting them know if they don't feel well or if their leg hurts or arm hurts then they probably shouldn't be playing at recess. That normally fixes the problem.
"If you can hear my voice, clap once. If you can hear my voice, clap twice." is a good way to interrupt a noisy classroom. Kids notice that other kids are doing something, and they don't want to be the only ones not doing it. A nice way to get their attention.
Oh trust me, I use that about 50 times a day. However, "they don't want to be the only ones not doing it" is not exactly true... I have many that will purposely choose to be the only ones not doing it!
Blank Editor that is some manipulation right there
I would have loved for you to show a video with real kids as you implement each hack. Otherwise we can just read about it.
I tried this during my internship. It worked for the 5th grade class, but with one of my 4th grade classes they ended up just wanting to play "Simon says". This 4th grade class was really out of control with their behaviour, and nothing I, or any of their actual teachers did worked with them. I was told by two of their teachers that this class is the worst class I'll probably ever experience. So sad that they've earned the title of the worst class in the school! Wish I could figure out how to have been able to work with them.
It gets so old lol
LOVE the "in trouble or out of trouble" for tattles, so stealing that! Great way to teach the difference! Thanks!
I love these! thank you for sharing :) one I use when my class has lots of things on the floor is... 'Class there is one magic item on the floor. The first to find it gets a prize!' the children then pick up EVERYTHING from the floor and hold it. When enough time has passed I tell them what it is and then the children put the items in their hand away. Works like a charm 👏
Thank you so much for this Cristina! I love this idea!!! I'm going to try it tomorrow!!
Love this idea!
You are clearly a teacher when you said "oh your hair hurts? Get a wet paper towel" man can I relate in my class lol. We have a frozen sponge as an icepack and it magically "cures" everything or sitting down for a rest lol Works almost every time. Mystery walker or mystery student is exactly what we need in my classroom right now.
I've been teaching for many years. The children today are way different. I really found this helpful.
As a teacher i need your help.. how can I contact you
First hack...3:12
thank you..tired of the babbling in beginning of video
The hero we need but don't deserve.
Thank youuuuu
thanks annoying voice and babble
Thank you for sharing!!!!
Smelly spots is such a GREAT idea! I have used NOISE before as a substitute, but I like how you use the NO. I will keep these in my teacher tool box for sure. Thanks for sharing!
I just want to say how much I love your videos! I'm a newly qualified, secondary school, English teacher in Scotland and have just secured a permanent post 😊 your videos have helped me gain confidence in my teaching ability and have encouraged me to keep my chin up during those tough days/weeks/terms. thank you for your videos!

Hi how are you I'm very to know person as like you my name is Khalid I'm from Sudan
I'm very happy to know person as like you my name is Khalid I'm from Sudan
The mystery student idea is great!
Such a fun way for kids to focus on
their behavior.
You are so clever! This is my 37th year and I can't wait to try your tricks!! :-)
love your "mystery student idea." It seems practical at any level.
Hand Signals are super helpful!!! My school utilizes the same hand signals for all teachers even to get students attention. It is very beneficial when all the staff use the same signals, when students are with other teachers or at lunch.
1 minute sand timer is so smart. I've been teaching for 14 years and this is the first time that I've heard of this one. Love it 😍
*jumps in the car to the dollar store for an ice pack and minute timer*
A few years ago after Christmas when stocking stuffers were 1/2 priced, I bought a small sound machine from Walgreens for $5 (I think). It has 16 noises, from applause to boos and funny sounds. Getting to choose a noise is a great reward that is sooo popular with my kids.
Great tips! As a just starting new teacher this is so helpful as one of my biggest struggles right now is classroom management and behavior. Thank you!
My gosh.. after going from website to website, video to video… THIS is what I needed. I am a new teacher and was beginning to find the “tried and true” classroom management tips were not doing what I need them to. Thank you so much for these specific examples and unique ideas. I will be trying every single one.
I love these hacks. I've been teaching for more than a few decades and it is wonderful to get new ideas. For tattling, I have a tattle box with special notecards to write down your tattle AND a compliment about the child you are tattling about. This keeps me informed on the nitty-gritty and also weeds out the important things to share- if the children have to write it, sometimes it isn't worth the effort and the kids let it go. Also, it helps focus on the positive as well as the negative. Thank you for all your great ideas!
I think it speaks volumes how much love kids want/need, that so many clever ideas for classroom management involve kids just wanting to feel special by their teachers and peers. :) Thanks for the hacks!
Camara in the room...I know a kindergarten teacher who tells her class to wave at the Internet thingy she has on her wall near the ceiling while she secretly texts the security lady and tells her who's doing what by name. Security lady then calls on the phone and gets put on speaker to say hello and tell certain kids what she saw. The kids get a kick out of this. :0
This video is awesome and so helpful! It's amazing how first-year teachers are given all these hyper-real scenarios which oftentimes is nothing like what they'll experience being the teacher of record on their own. These tips are to the point and practical! Thank you for sharing!
Omg thank you for this, I’m a trainee teacher and really struggling with my Y7 classroom management. I am definitely going to try the mystery student tomorrow!!
Awesome tips! I use most of them and you're right; we only see the generic management strategies in textbooks and online. I only had ONE Classroom Management class in college...why are we not given more?!?
Same here and I felt like all the information I learned was very general.
I had no classroom management classes. My college did nothing to prepare us.
LOVE this video! Thank you so much for your brilliant ideas. I am currently going back to school to get a second bachelors degree, this time around in Early Childhood Education. I sub quite a bit in elementary schools and I can always use classroom management tips!!! I especially love the "NOISE" hack. Thank you for all of your videos. I really enjoy watching and learning from you!
Love, love, love this video! I teach 1st grade and am looking forward to using some of your noise hacks with my angles. Thanks girl!
Oh my goodness, Michelle! I have been teaching for a long time and these are absolutely the best hacks I have heard of. Thank you! (I use the camera hack and nurse alternatives already. I have no problem lying to my students if it's in their best interest!).
This is great! I love your channel and I use a lot of your tips from earlier videos in my high school class. They really help.
These are not ones that you hear everyday. I love them! I manage an after school site and I’m always looking for new classroom management tips for myself and staff. I also appreciate that these don’t require anything fancy. Thanks for these! Will definitely be using a few
Thanks for sharing these hacks Michelle! I already use the hand signals with visual sign posted in the room. However, many of these hacks are new to me as a veteran teacher. I am excited to try several of them starting today! 😄
You are such an inspiration, thank you for always sharing your experience. It truly does provide hope in such overwhelming things to think about and consider for a "wanna be" like myself the simplicity with which you address is so refreshing.
THANK YOU! first year teaching with no experience and this is something so easy that I can implement. You are so right when you said that when you google ‘classroom management’ that they give you very broad statements.
THIS IS SOMETHING I CAN ACTUALLY USE!
Sharing with all my new teacher friends!!
I'm a college student and getting ready to do my student teaching. This helped SO MUCH!
I love the ice pack in the desk! Smelly spots is another good one. I have students act as the teacher, but I think a "Teacher in training" badge might make them feel even more responsible. Thanks for the ideas. I am looking forward to your organizational video.
Loved it. Very practical and appears effortless to apply the techniques. I enjoyed the commentary that you give with each technique stating when to use it and possible challenges which may occur.
Love the tattling question hack, asking them if they're just trying to get their classmate in trouble our out of trouble. I am a work study student in an elementary school and I basically go around and help out the teachers manage their classrooms and I do one on one lesson with students who need the extra help. Since I am still in my first year of college the K-2nd graders I work with seem to have this idea that because I am not quite a real teacher I am more likely to spaz out or react to misbehavior and I am the one who they come to when they feel the need to tattle more so than the actual teacher. I am so going to try this hack on them. Love your videos by the way. They have provided great tips and inspiration. :)
@ Rachel.S I do the same job as you and i'm in my first year as well, but i go all the from K-4. I know what your going through with the tattling from the children, it can get a little hard to handle sometimes.
I always told them if someone is really going to get hurt, it's OK (good) to let an adult know. If not, I ask them to first try to work out the problem by themselves. (In our district, I believe they have certain foundations like if another student says hi to you, you have to say hi back....basics of friendliness.)
I love the mystery student!! Keeps them on their toes :) I think it's very responsive as well not to reveal the mystery student if they don't earn the reward.
I have used the NOISE and love it. Thank you for sharing, I got some cool ideas for my room.
Omg! Love these! I’ve been looking for ideas working as a small group reading teacher. But I think I can use most of these. Thank you
Great hacks! Thanks for sharing! I will be using a lot of these! I am going to start with mystery walker and the noise hack!
Love, love, love every one of these hacks! Thank you for giving us some specifics. I have had the same problem of behavior management information being too general. You are great! Can't wait for more hack videos.
First off, when you started the video and spoke about the elaborate Pinterest stuff I immediately thought of brag tags. Absolutely not knocking them or anyone who uses them but when I saw how much work went into them, I knew I wouldn't have the time for that. Simplicity is still great. I'd like to add for voice control, voice level charts. They've worked really well for me.
These are awesome! I especially love the smelly spots, wet paper towel, and ice pack idea!
It took me 24 years to learn this stuff. I love how you have it already! Nice job.
This is GOLD! Thank you so much! I am a student teacher and these are helpful for me to know. Can't wait to try some of these in my future classroom!
Hands down best video on classroom management. Your solutions are innovative and effective and you follow up with clear and easy to follow examples. I will be using all of these!
Thanks for being so honest about teaching. Your students are very lucky to have you as a teacher.
Terrific, and valuable information. Thank you for sharing. I have done the hand signals. However, I forget about them. I call on the student and they state what they need, and continue with, I put the signal up. ooopppss! When you are in the middle of the lesson it is a little distracting to attempt to determine what it is, and easier to ask. I love the chapstick. That works really well. I like the camera in class and will give that a try this year. I like the n-o-i-s-e displayed on the board down to "no" great visual.
Love all of these - I am a fifth year teacher and hadn't heard of many of these . Thank you !!
I'm so thankful I found your channel! I am currently attending WGU and one of my biggest worries is managing the classroom well. You have so many great ideas. I just subscribed. :)
Thank you for your hacks! 21 years in teaching and these are gold!
Same here! Thank you, Michelle. These really are great!
Thank you for the time you put into your videos, I am a teacher of 40 years experience and its so great to get a young person's take on teaching. The quality of your resources for your students is phenomenal. Congratulations. Its going to be very interesting how you pack up your room to move across country. You might need a truck just for your resources. Best wishes.
Thank you so much. I love this. I’m in school for teaching right now and these tips are incredible. Thank you thank you!!!
I'm currently a substitute teacher. Looking forward to trying these out and seeing if I can get some good results from them. Nice tips
Those were great! Thank you for making this video! :-) As an alt cert teacher, I feel like I struggle quite a bit more than a regular teacher who went the traditional route. As you mentioned, scouring pinterest and googling classroom management methods always leaves us coming up short. Those were awesome tips and I can't wait to try them out.
I am so glad I came through this video!!!! My first year as a first grade teacher, I love it but I started to struggle with their behavior now that they're getting comfortable with me
I love the sand timer hack!! We play the "quiet game" where the students pick a quiet person, but the sand timer will be so helpful for those students who take their time picking!!
This was just amazing! Can't wait to try these.
Love love love these tips!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
I have used many of these hacks, but still was able to get some new ones! I love the "get a wet paper towel" one. It's so funny how a wet paper towel or a drink of water can cure everything! I also use something similar to your scented chapstick. I'll put a star or smiley face on hands with the scented markers. The kids love it!
In addition to these tips, I have used: need to go to the bathroom? My reply, "Can you wait 5 minutes?' When the student comes back asking if the 5 minutes are up, I then know that he/she really does need to go. The ones who don't generally have forgotten. As far as tattling on others, here's one for students who can read and write: "I tend to forget what you are telling me, so I need you to write it down (on a post-it or full piece of paper) so that I can remember it, and I can also show it to the principal if I need to. If it's just a tattle, students tend to not want to go to all that trouble. Also, for some students, just the act of communicating their frustrations on paper is enough to help them move on from whatever is aggravating them, and the student's stress goes down. :)
But then it may be too late, and the child needs new clothing. Sometimes, making them wait does NOT turn out well!
As someone with ulcerative colitis and as someone who knows that that doesn’t discriminate by age I won’t ever make a child wait to go to the bathroom for any reason . That’s awful.
Usually, we are informed by the nurse and parents ehen there's a medical condition, so the advice doesn't apply there, of course. Obviously I would let a child go when he/she stated that the 5 minutes wouldn't work for them. It's a QUESTION, not a command. It just helps determine which students really need to go and which are doing "work avoidance " behaviors. Yeesh.
A random thought for redirecting behavior that I have used and could be used for the 'NOISE' hack is writing dictionary words. The first students who did this as an effect of turning in late homework never turned in a late assignment after that. The time it took to write 10 words with definitions was longer than the time it would take to finish their homework.
These are wonderful! I teach a Teacher Preparation class for a technology center....I use these in my class! These are so real life!!!!
Very helpful. Thank you. I’m a teaching artist and I have to teach 45 third graders and 55 fourth graders in one room all by myself twice a week. I also teach 50 middle school (grades 6, 7 and 8) students every morning.
I have some strategies that work but I always like to learn some fresh new ones because I have been teaching art for almost 20 years. You just taught me a few new strategies that I am definitely going to use on Monday; especially the “noise” technique. I also liked the first one about the mystery group. I can use that one with all my classes. I will keep you posted.
Thank you for taking your time to tell us about these hacks! I am currently in my third year of college and these tips will really help me!
As a teacher, I am so excited to try some of these hacks! Thank you for sharing these!
Hacks start at 3:09
Thank you for the specific suggestions for classroom management. Very helpful!
Thumbs up! You are spot on with the behavior management hacks.
Just found this video and am a first year first grade teacher this year. I love your unique tips. Thank you!!
Thank you for the great advice. I will definitely mention them in my interview this afternoon. You might help me win the job. LOL
Thanks for making this video I'm a sub and sometimes it's changes depends on what school and what grades and teaching in classroom management changes as well this makes it so much easier as my second year of teaching
Thank you very much, Ms. Emerson for these phenomenal classroom management strategies. I am looking forward to implementing them in the near future, God-willing 😊.
These are great tips. I have saved it to my playlist and subscribed! I'll also use the tattle tip for the kids in my family
Love your tips and your energy! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you for all the tips! Looking forward to implementing these hacks next week in class:)
These hacks are amazing!!!! Thank you I can not wait to try them!!
First day of school with 5th graders and it was rough! This video and the comments sections have kept me motivated
I love all of these Hacks!! I use the wet paper towel hack all the time. I was laughing so much when you were talking about that.
Thank you so much for this video! I recently switched from teaching kindergarten to third- and fifth-grade students. It was a huge transition. At first (and still a little bit now), I felt a bit intimidated but this video was so helpful! Thank you so much. ^^
Great Hacks I will try the Noise one and I like the timer hack. All good ideas!
I am in student teaching, thank you for your advice seriously!!
I'm about to start my teaching job again and I'll try your hacks and hopefully they will work :) Appreciate your time. Thanks for sharing
Why are you so amazing?!?! FINALLY, some realistic classroom management strategies!
Thank you so much. I am subbing for the first time and researching best practices for classroom management
I'm starting as a substitute soon and really enjoyed your ideas. The "Mystery student" idea and "NOISE" idea, because that's something I can implement as a substitute.
I have tried the secret student and it works!! 👌🏻 my kids love it! I I definitely gonna try the secret symbol ... thank u!!
What grade, and how often?
I loved the secret symbol too. Makes the attention-seeking student feel special too.

I also have NOISE in wooden letters on my wall! I never thought about stopping at NO though. That's a great idea!
Your tips did miracles for my class. Thank you soooo much!!!
Wow these are amazing hacks, thanks so much for sharing them :)
Love the NOISE hack. That will work even with my EFL classes.
This is my first year of teaching. This was very helpful. Thank you !
