    I deeply appreciate how you "see" students. You see them as people, deserving respect while also keeping them to account. This approach truly helps students reach their potential and fosters self-pride, yet encourages them to ever raise their bar.

    Great tips! I also treat every day as a new one - maybe a student and I had words, but I will treat him/her exactly the same the next day, as if nothing happened. That shows consistency, and it shows that you’re not trying to target that student. It helps to calm things down.

    I am a young teacher and I am currently working with upper elementary/ middle/ and high school students with little experience in those age groups. My studies reflected elementary-level pedagogy. I have noticed significant strides in approaching and confronting with a neutral and clear mindset has greatly helped me build students’ trust at an exponential rate.

    I just completed student teaching and my "challenging" children (jr. high) were my favorites! I have a fear of calling home to communicate concerns. My parents (I wasn't the type to get in trouble) would get crazy angry for everything: ex- getting screamed at while asking for homework help and/or hit. It makes me so hesitant to reach out for fear of getting students screamed at or beat (it is very hard not to project).

    Love your approach. Don't be too hard on folks who use the term "deal with". I don't think it is used with disrespect intended. It is a common coloquilism, especially in the south. "Deal with" infers how do I "work with" or "manage", etc.

  • @created2bless322

    Yes, many great tips! I've done some before especially moving close to someone being disruptive or just looking at them briefly, sometimes they just want to be acknowledged. I work at a school based in a shelter for children. There are challenging situations and sometimes kids just refuse to do their work. It is my job to engage them but sometimes they just need a breather/space. Thank you, just found you and subscribed

    You explained how to deal with difficult students really well! Thanks for the great points about being mindful. I completely agree that students react in response to how WE react. Teachers definitely hold more influence and control in their students' behavior (by controlling their own approach first!) than they sometimes realize. Thank you for sharing your insight!

    I’m definitely dealing with culture shock. I was all honors Englisb until AP was available, but I’m teaching CP, where two out of my nearly eighty students got an A on their EOC last year, and most failed.
    I have to remember how I felt in math class in high school.

    My instructor that I had for music in the curriculum and he would give me his students blank slate because the instructor said you might of experience being penalized for other students mistakes from the other music teacher’s, band directors and marching band directors.

    Needed to hear the one about assumptions. As a sub, though, a heads up with constructive suggestions about how to deal or not with a student is helpful. The best was the peace or control comment. Thank you!

    I really wish my teachers growing up had seen this video and followed this advice. As a kid I was a weird mix of way too smart, too "mature" for my age (read: traumatized), socially undeveloped, and ADHD with issues with authority and following rules...with parents that put a world of pressure on me for being a math prodigy. I learned how to control my behavior more by highschool, but in elementary school this one teacher would make me sit apart from the rest of the class, punish me for correcting her by giving me extra work, talked to the classroom about how I was "special" with me in the room, forced me to wear plain jeans and a plain shirt despite there not being a uniform, and frequently giving me 0s on assignments for "no reason" (perceived rudeness). All in all it sucked. I hope that today more teachers are following advice like you give. I found this video because I am homeschooling my little brother who is ADHD, addicted to video games, procrastinates, always does the bare minimum (usually less), and has problems with authority. I have an easier time with it than my parents bc I understand some of the issues, but it can still be difficult to get him to work without getting in a fight. Thank you, hopefully I can apply some aspects of these, though I don't have a classroom setting or a school system framework.

      Annnd, now I teach 10th grade at a school where the children really struggle academically ...and I come home to my own brilliant 8 yr old son... with ADHD, Autism, and authority issues... my challenges feel unrelenting. 😮

    How do you ideal with students who are really behind (I teach english in a private school) parent sometimes think that just because they pay , kids deserve a high grade. Some of the kids who are behind is because they just don't go to school not connect to their online classes.

    • @hp2546
      @hp2546 Рік тому

      Even students can have teachers who is hard to please. That I can understand but this video would have to be about teachers that have to deal with troubled students. There are times a teacher will say to the student figure it out instead of helping them.
      The older the student gets, they take studying seriously. Maybe what this video is about is for teacher who is dealing with kindergarden students or elementary school students since at that age, they don't have a goal in mind of studying. I am sure what that means is maybe the student might be autistic and had not yet made it to college. I mean those are a group of students who is very young and not even ready to study and has no goal. I agree, even students can have difficult time with professors. There are times that students try to best to please their teacher but that teacher might be a hard ass to please. So maybe this video might be for teachers who does not do grading and maybe those students are not teens nor adults yet. This video is most likely for teachers who is dealing with troubled students. Maybe the teacher is dealing with students who is not willing to learn.

    1. be mindful of behavior.
    Teachers can escalate the behavior.
    how to descalate the situation.
    Have a consequence ladder
    kicking student out of classroom
    they will hold onto grudge
    2. address them in private with post it note
    tone matters. address the entire classroom.
    calling a kid out gets them
    3. reach out with prior teacher or current one to help
    4. dont' make assumptions about student
    6. consequences for behavior, not academics
    7. do not be tough with one kid to make a point
    with entire classroom.
    8 call parents

    I don’t believe all these are applicable to elementary 3rd grade, right? Down for respect and keeping your cool but these 8,9,10 years old are tough. I have three that distract all the time and me going to them and pulling them to the side and speaking to them is not realistic. If I do this the rest will go bonkers

      @amandaros3  4 місяці тому +1

      Your comment completely makes sense, and not sure how it would apply in an elementary school classroom. My career has been 7-12, so my lens for advice is definitely going to be different compared to elementary school.
