Awesome
Thank you so much, teacher. Fantastic tips you got there. You got a new subscriber. :)
Thank you! So helpful!
Thanks , teaching for 15 years and yes I am definitely doing some things wrong ! I let the students grate on my nerves and end up yelling and having power struggles . I do things right as well but you really help ground me and remind me on how to act ! Thanks so much ❤
@@merry4499 Thanks for sharing Merry!
Every college professor should have to watch this as well.
I had a terrible class last Friday and I did everything wrong. Can't wait to implement these strategies. My students are incredibly exhausting and one step a way from prison.
Hey Michelle. The thing that helped me most was reflecting on what was working, writing it down, and doing exactly what you're doing - looking online to see what other teachers are doing that I can try and implement in my own class. It is not easy. Keep going.
@@gibsonedu Thank you for your support.
I teach and get frustrated too, sometimes visibly. But on my worst day, I would never say anything remotely close to your last sentence. I am sorry things have been rough for you, but please find your “why.” They are children in need of guidance. Let’s not mention them finding this comment. Good luck!
Late response. I hope you are still in education.
I’m sure you did at least one thing right. I know it’s hard but you need to re-frame teaching in your head. For example, these students possibly come from tough backgrounds and do not understand the subject area. As a defence mechanism, these kids insult you and say you are bad
teacher (saving face). Also, you might have taught in the wrong school environment? Maybe finding schools where the students had a similar upbringing as you did will help connecting with the kids.
It’s tough, but you will become a resilient individual if you stick through.
@@panterabreadd but what's a worst day? Is at an alternative high school where they face armed robbery charges with ankle monitors?
I am a long term 7th grade substitute. Yesterday i knew I needed to do something different because I was exhausted and defeated. I had been teaching in a small private school for 8 years and going to seeing 100+ students a day was a big change and my management skills were lacking . I implemented the counting and NOISE strategy today and now, even though I suspected my students we’re not going to care or respond, it was absolutely life-changing. I am being dramatic but it was amazing advice and changed the day. Thank you!!!
I am so happy to hear that the strategies helped Katie!
This really works. It is my go to method. It never fails. I also found the decibel meter app for smart phone.
27 years of teaching..this is spot on. Particularly, hallway conversations.
Wow, that means a lot coming from a veteran like yourself Amy!
Tip 9 is the most important for me. Getting into power struggles, using sarcasm or put downs, or yelling has probably never yielded an improved situation for me and has often created further problems. It makes me feel even worse. Also, using a kid’s name when they’re acting up for attention often serves to reward them with the very attention they seek. I’ve heard it said that no word is more beautiful to someone than their own name.
Yeah, it can be hard to emotionally detach from the situation for sure. I'm learning that when my toddler is misbehaving now!
What do you do when they start running around, pulling stupid faces into the window or walk in/out/in??
@@gibsoneduplease see the question above
@@growtocycle6992 Hey growtocycle, if the classroom has really turned into a place of chaos, no single classroom management strategy is going to fix things. You're going to need a hard reset, which can be challenging. Do you have a teacher at your school who has a reputation of having good classroom management skills you can connect with? They'll have the best advice for you as they teach in your same school and context and can help you come up with a plan.

Love these ideas. One tip I have used that helps with a student who is trying to challenge me on moving seats or so is to jot a Post-it while I am teaching and lay it down in front of them, saying that they can either move or it will have _______ consequence. No conversation, no battle, and they typically realize I meant it because I am so casually in control and they respond appropriately. I also have fun post-its for this that say "Seriously?, Just Saying, Mental Note, etc". I also have mood notes for students to fill out if they want to let me know how they are doing and high five notes, so its becomes a class culture element.
Yeah the quiet redirection is the way to go 👍🏼
Just started teaching, can't believe I have checked all the 'don't' boxes. Thanks for the advice!
I checked them all as well. That's how we learn. Good luck Ian!
Me too!
My issue is 'relationship'. So many of my grad classes talked about relationship and relating to the kids. So I try to match their energy. But I have since learned it's about MY energy and what I bring and allow in the classroom. I am resetting everything tomorrow.
These are GREAT! I taught first grade for 5 years, and never struggled with classroom management. I became a stay at home mom for the last 5 years after having my kids. I am now subbing and when I sub upper grade / junior high I notice my classroom management with the littles doesn’t translate with older kids (obviously). I love these tips, I am going to try using NOISE today. Thank you so much!
This is THE BEST classroom management advice I've ever seen in an excellent condensed 10 min form
-- I've got 30 years of experienced teaching (and sat through manyyyy other multiple hour / very boring clasroom management sessions!)
I really appreciate that Jones!
I am a foreign language middle school teacher. In the classroom there is a lot of interaction between the students, especially because they need to practice pronunciation. I definitely will be implementing the NOISE word on the board. I just love it!
Right on! Let me know how it goes :)
Best tips I've ever seen on this topic. No wonder my first year teaching was a nightmare, much better nowadays!
Glad to hear things are better now 👍
I'm going to be a first year teacher this coming school year! And I am nervous about classroom management! These are such awesome tips. Thank you!
Welcome to teaching Yeeun! What a wild time to become a teacher! I plan on making a video for what ‘classroom’ management may look like during remote teaching that will hopefully be helpful.
Me too! Good luck :)
how's it going???? you still alive??
Very helpful for some of my most challenging classes 7/8 general music and 7/8 chorus.
I have used some of these techniques already but gained a little insight as to why they work...and a couple new ideas.
Thank you.
This is really great and I found your video calming and grounding in itself. Thank you!
Just starting in my teaching career. Found this super helpful
Glad it was helpful!
I feel blessed coming across this video, I am still a 21 year old language teacher (English as a second language) and I am amazed at how smart these tips are - All the love ❤️
Thanks Reda :) Happy weekend!
you're tips are very considerate of the students, so nice to see!
I cannot wait to add the Starbucks Mode to my student's routines (once we return to "normal" school, of course!). What a great idea! Thank you.
Thanks Marla! Hope your class of little hipsters writing their collection of essays on progressivism enjoy their Starbucks mode time! Haha.
One of the absolute BEST videos (and playlists) I have ever seen! Thanks so much! Middle School Rocks!
Glad you’ve found the playlist helpful!
I'm so glad I found you!!!! Thanks so much Thom!!
Thank you Rabbi :) Let me know how it goes!
this is the BEST classroom management video I’ve watched! thank you !!
So glad it was helpful Eleanor!
Hands down!!! I'm gonna start as a Middle School Math teacher and this video just gave me so many insights as to how I would like to manage my classroom
That’s the best video I have ever watched . Thank you !!!
What a nice thing to say :) Thanks Ayse!
This was by far the greatest video I've found on classroom management. Thank you!!!
I appreciate that Kristen and glad you found it helpful :)
LOVE these tips! Thank you!!
Thanks Patricia! Glad you found them helpful :)
Finally some ideas that would definitely help me! Thank you so much!
I'm glad they were helpful Agustina! Let me know how it goes if you try any of them out :)
i love the break idea and noise strategy i have over 5 years experience haven't used those before but can try!
Excellent video! And I love the refocus sheet. Thank you so much!!
Sure thing Denine! You can get the refocus sheet here - thomgibson.com/refocusform
These tips are gold. Thanks so much!!!
Glad it was helpful!
These are excellent tips. I will certainly watch this video again before the end of the summer. Thanks!
Glad you found them helpful Stephan! See you at the end of summer ;)
I really love the tip about using the word NOISE on the board. Thanks for that.
Let me know how it goes Janaviki :)
Thank you so much, Thom, this was a phenomenal video!! 😀
I appreciate that Sunny! 🌞
Great tips! Thank you so much!
Happy teaching 😃
Thanks Thom!
Thank you for this video. Very much aligned with what I always lecture to teachers. Thank you so much!
Good to meet likeminded educators :)
Excellent advice! I've given a similar set of suggestions to many first year teachers while giving PD. Yours was definitely shorter and more to the point. I really liked it! Thank you
Thanks Bruce!
Thank you, Sir! I will definitely implement these in my classes.
Let me know how it goes Arnold!
i’m taking notes of everything you say! this playlist is going to be so useful, i’m teaching middle school next year and have only been in high school classes
Middle schoolers definitely have their unique quirks but at the end of the day, they're just shorter high schoolers :)
This is a great refresher after a year and a half of teaching virtually. I almost feel like this is my first year of teaching all over again 😂 thank you for this video!
Ha! I remember thinking the same thing last year when I came back to hybrid and was like 'yeesh, my management skills are rusty.'
Thom, your videos and podcast episodes are inspiring! I don’t know how you don’t have a million views but thanks for sharing!
James, this reply is super late! Thank you for the kind words! Where and what are you teaching?
I currently teach 2nd grade and music in Lijiang, China but I'll be moving back to VA in the fall. Not sure if I'll teach again but you've given me some hope that it's possible to enjoy the career and really hold kids' attention.
These tips are great!! Thank you!
Sure thing Nikki!
This was an excellent top ten. We have used and modeled a few of these classroom managment strategies but your explanation to each procedure was A+. Thank youu
Glad to hear it!
I'm about to start student teaching in the spring, graduate, and go out into the real world and I found this SO helpful! I already know that I'll be adopting some (if not all) of these in my own classroom when the time comes, and this video will also serve as a great reminder just in case I lose my cool or need a refresher on some of these techniques. Thank you so much!! Also, definitely getting that Refocus Form!
Glad you found them helpful Jordyn! What a time to be entering education. Let me know if I can be of any help :)
So how have you been doing?
That Hall Refocus Sheet is such a good idea. I will for sure be trying it out in my classroom
Let me know how it goes Jackson :)
These are awesome tips! Thank you.
Thanks for watching May and happy teaching!
Fantastic presentation. Thank you so much for sharing.
Sure thing David! Happy teaching :)
Im a veteran teacher and some of these are great tips I hadn’t even really thought about, thank you!
Hey that's awesome to hear! Thanks Lisa!
Thanks for sharing, definitely be utilising them in my teaching placement 👍🏼
Let me know how it goes 👍🏼
Thank-you! I’m a primary teacher now teaching grade 5 these tips are so appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips Thom. Thanks a lot.
My pleasure Dr. Sharma!
Thank you Mr. Gibson. Your videos are really good. May God bless you and all of you teachers here. God is great.
🙏
Thank you for advices. They are very helpful.
Glad it was helpful AK AZ!
Thank you for these tips!
My pleasure 👍
Thank you so much! This is really helpful ❤️
Glad to hear it Sarah!
I’m new to muddle school and this is so right on. The stuff that you pretend the kids are saying and the stuff we should t day are things I have said and heard them say. Thank God for new weeks, 🙏🏼 this is my 3rd week.
Indeed, new days and new weeks are always a blessing.
Thank you for your ideas!!!!
Sure thing Shehla! 👍
These are such great reminders. Wish your advice had been around when I started teaching many years ago. Thanks so much!!
👋, how are you doing today; hope everything went well and it was a blessed day for you April?
Thanks April!
Thanks for the tips! I'm a 1st year teacher with a pretty challenging class. Every morning they will come into the classroom very loud and it is difficult to get their noise levels down for silent reading and listening to announcements. I have tried clap and response (works to get their attention for a very short period of time), group points system with prize reward for the best behaved group at the end of the week, names on board/less Chromebook time for noisy students, wait time, noise game (where I set a benchmark for them to reach such as 5 minutes of quiet time).
I feel like I'm trying various methods with this group of students and the methods either work for a little while or they do not work at all. Looking forward to implementing some of your tips such as integrating more discussion into lessons as well as the "NOISE" method. Cheers!
This was so very helpful! Thank you!! I student taught 11 years ago, and stayed home to raise my babies. I’m finally able to be back in a classroom and would love the Google doc of the Hall Refocus sheet! Thank you so much!
Hey Danielle! Welcome back to the classroom :) You can get the refocus sheet here - pages.thomgibson.com/refocusform
Thanks Thom, helpful advice and well explained
Glad it was helpful James!
I love the think-pair-share as often as possible idea. Great tips!
Yeah. It's been much harder to do during distance learning as some kids will go to a breakout room and not share (or turn cameras or mics on or anything), but when they do, it continues to be a good way to keep kids connected and engaged in the content.
I like it too! But I think I have to implement this later. I need quiet and the students talking ALWAYS errupts into chaos at this point. I need a hard reset.
Very Helpful. Thank you!
Glad you found them helpful Keneisha!
This year I did everything you said not do. I will definitely be implementing this tips...you have a new subscriber!!!
I feel that. I could only make this list bc these were all things I did (and sometimes continued to do even after I made the video!). We’re all a work in progress 👍🏼
Great tips Thom, greatly appreciated :)
Sure thing!
I am from New Zealand and I must say these tips are amazing. I have incorporated all these tips except for seating as we do not have singular desks. My classroom management has been amazing thank u so.much xxx
So glad to hear that!
Really great! I’ve been teaching 25 years and I do many of the things you’ve suggested but there are also some great new ideas! I love the “Noise” suggestion 😀
Hey that means a lot coming from a veteran teacher like yourself!
Absolutely amazing tips thank you so much really for sharing 👏👏👏👏👏👏 love the NOISE on board and above everything “ be firm but polite” is a winner 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing. It was informative, entertaining to watch, and succint.
Glad you enjoyed it William!
I'd love the hall refocus form! Thank you so much.
Hey Jacy, you can get it at thomgibson.com/refocusform
I’ve been teaching middle school for almost 20 years and your videos are awesome! Thanks for sharing your great ideas!
I appreciate that Andrew!
Man… you are articulate, excellent communicator and on point for classroom management. I will deploy your expertise . Love the “do you understand why” technique and the Restore is powerful!!! ❤what you’re doing. You need a Ted Talk !!!
Thank you Janet! That's really kind of you to say.
Many thanks!:) I loved the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely amazing! Yesterday was my first day of school and it was horrible, I didn't realise how much I needed tip no. 4! Students went crazy! Today, I used this method, and it worked like a charm! Thank you so much
Oh man so glad to hear that!
I am glad I found this this is very helpfully.
Glad it was helpful!
Another very helpful video by Thom. I agree that he has excellent ability to articulate his thoughts in a clear, concise manner and this video is better training than any classroom management workshop I've ever attended.
There is a companion video that specifically deals with classes that talk excessively. You all should check that out as well.
I appreciate that Jeff :)
Here's the video on what to do when students won't stop talking if anyone's interested - ua-cam.com/video/kdq7d4Vfjes/v-deo.html
what is the link, i really enjoyed this.
These strategies were so good. Thank you for making this video
My pleasure Kaylah.
Thx alot for the information.
My pleasure 👍
This is really helpful. Thanks for sharing this
Sure thing Allyson!
I have taught for 12 years and I can admit that this video is brilliant! I learned new things. Thanks for giving me the "noise" idea for group work and "Starbucks" mode.
Awesome! Glad a veteran teacher like yourself still found some useful tips 👍🏼
Great advice for classroom management tips Thanks
I appreciate that Karen :)
Thanks for these tips. I will be sharing with our staff.
Hope they found them helpful Jenny!
The hall conferencing tip is so simple but something I hadn’t considered. I really think this will help me this year! Wish I had heard this last year. Great video. Thank you so much!
Glad you found it helpful Jennifer! 👍
I used it several times today and it worked wonderfully.
Thank you, Thom! I appreciate you sharing the ways in which you work as an educator where everyone is successful. Please keep sharing your techniques, strategies, and ways in which you operate as an effective teacher and how it works for your students. I think you have GREAT ideas and I enjoy learning from you.
~ Mike :)
I appreciate that Mike! I'm not posting to this channel much anymore but am posting regularly at ua-cam.com/users/newedtechclassroom
Thanks brother for these useful tips.May God bless you.
Sure thing!
You are awesome!
Thanks!
This was excellent and boy I pray this works. Teaching 37 years and now having an 8th grade Intensive Reading class full of struggling learners with severe behavior problems at this point makes me want to stay home! I wrote everything down and plan on using. Thank you.
That sounds challenging for sure Barbara. Let me know how it goes!
I have more of a collaborative teaching approach. This year I was assigned a new subject area that I m not feeling confident in and have a class with very high needs. I had a horrible class yesterday. Came home, had a chat with my administrator and was in tears over my discomfort and anxiety trying to manage the class. I am feeling a tad bit more confident I can walk into the class today and start creating a better classroom culture. I can easily get sucked into confrontation and sly comments. I am going to take your advice and not directly has things out in class. I will ask them to step outside, then chat with them when I am ready to discuss what happened. Your videos are so helpful ! I am excited, and nervous to make some changes.
I'm sorry to hear that things have not been going well Justine. I do hope it's gotten better since you wrote this.
This is solid gold
🙏
Awesome, really useful
Glad to hear it!
You are awesome! I will try the tips in next class!
How did some of the strategies work out Jiachen?
I wish I had these when I taught in the middle and high school! Great tips!!
Thanks Deidre!
26 years teaching and about to throw in the towel. Your video is succinct, to the point, and gives me hope! I shall live to fight... er.... manage my classroom wisely, another day! ;-)
I hope your days are getting better Amy!
Thank you for these tips😊
Sure thing!
I like the idea of the refocus form.
Yeah it's a useful tool :)
So good! Tip 9 is gold. I really appreciate your very specific advice for handling disrespect. I really appreciate how you emphasize curiosity on the part of the teacher, as well as restoration. What an excellent model for handling conflict that applies in and out of school. Thank you so much for this content!
Yeah disrespectful behavior is probably one of the most challenging to work with as it's so hard not to take it personally. Thanks for commenting Nathan :)
Great points and ideas. I'm sending this to my kids school!
👍👍👍
Thanks for these tips.
Sure thing! 👍
Heyyy, first of all thanks for the amazing video, i needed this soooo much, i had a Very bad day yesterday at my class,and im gonna try my best to fix my mistakes and become a better teacher and have good relationship with my students!! For other teachers who feel ashamed and bad for messing up(i feel like that rn lol), please remember we are all human and we are learning to become better and thats what matters,so dont give up and keep goingggg❤💪💪
And You’re amazing teachers for looking for videos like thiiis❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing Sabarts! There are so many days I came home so defeated from teaching so you're far from alone. It's not an easy gig.
Thank you, It's very helpful!!
Glad to hear it Marta 👍
Wow this was so helpful! I can’t wait to try it. First year 6th grade
So glad you found it helpful! What a year to get into education!
Man, thank you so much!
Glad it helped Rivero!
