I started began my teaching career in kindergarten, a long, long time ago. And many of the things you said were taught to me by a seasoned teacher. She said , "Children need structure, routine and you must follow through. So choose wisely."
I like the chance jar thing but these techniques are for groups that are mostly all well behaved and will actually listen and CARE if there is even a reward system in place. I'm an ESL teacher. I teach 2 different kindergarten groups and one pre-school. One of the Kindergarten groups are one of the worst behaved kids I've ever come across. It's gotten to the point where I can't teach a class with them. I can't have an actual discussion about what the day's theme or topic is because it's chaos as soon as their regular teacher brings them to my classroom. One is running around the classroom, hiding under tables, the other is playing with another classmate while all the others are talking amongst themselves and just don't care that I'm trying to talk to them. I have one kid that just simply does not respect me. If I tell him he needs to sit or quiet down he'll just laugh in my face and keep doing what he's doing which is usually running around the tables, doing flips on the floor or doing karate moves. He's the worst behaved child I've ever encountered and I don't know what to do anymore. The school has a daycare in place and the day care teacher actually quit because of him. That's how bad it is! I need some real advice.
I feel for you.. every situation is different, these tips like seeds will grow where it's fertile, but some parents and neighbourhoods and schools and co-teachers simply do not provide an atmosphere for ESL teachers to work much with. Plus not all teachers are equally prepared or innately talented. discipline is more easily lost than instilled or gained, language barriers can kill it quickly, and some situations seem irreparable. anyway, step back, we must take what we're given, but we can always improve on it. This 'structure" advice is really golden, if you can do it even 1%, even just one engaging or fun activity to pull in a wild student or undomesticated ESL classroom, then try it again next time, create expectation, do it with regularity, and you can build from that 1%, grow it to 5 or 10. There will be setbacks and the class may not reach this video's great ideal but the frustration can slowly decrease. be patient and keep trying, many of these rascals will be great adults someday ...believe it or not!
Those are the kind of kids that make me wish there was a small 2x2m room with a chair stuck to the floor in it. The inside don't have a door handle, let him have as much fun as he like for a couple of hours lol. To be completely honest I think they've had way to little hardship in their life, completely spoiled and therefor think they're the king of the world, either that or too much "hardship" (god forbid) and just don't care what anyone say so long as they don't get the belt (I don't actually think a child would react like that but I'm open to the possibility of special cases).
Thank you for this video, what you say really makes sense. ua-cam.com/video/-e8KqCzm9xs/v-deo.html I'd really like to show you guys my video on how to use songs to settle young kids down, sorry if this seems like spam, but I genuinely think my video can help teachers! Have a wonderful week!
