Recommended: The need for change bullying

As a teacher, it is important to have a plan in place to handle angry students. Prior to encountering an angry student in my classroom, I will have procedures for when students feel they are having a bad day or need time to recover from an event that happened before my class period. My classroom will have a place in the back that will be used for the purpose of giving students space to calm down and regroup before they are ready to join the whole class lesson. If a student arrives to class already angry, I will ask them if they want to sit in the back for a while to calm down and show them that I care about their feelings by acknowledging their frustrations and anger. It is important to give tthem options and let them decide the best way that they can get a hold of their feelings and behavior. My priority will be to get them settled and calm while continuing my plans for the class. I will ask the student if he/she would liike to talk during the class warm-up or if they wish to go to see the school counselor for more a indepth conversation. At this …show more content…

Addtionally, I will make sure that my body language is not threatening or aggressive towards the student. By titlting my head, opening my palms, nodding my head, and smiling, I hope to show the student that I am there to help them and guide them into a better mindset. Lastly, if the student needs more time to calm down, I will offer him/her to either write down theiir thoughts and feelings at their desk or they may go to a place in the back of the classroom to calm down. I will offer to speak to them afterclass afterschool, or another time we can arrange. I will also offer the options of leaving the classroom to see a counselor or sitting in another teacher's classrooom (prearranged) to change the environment for them in order to calm

    ...(Levin et al., 2016). From my experience with children in the past “the look” has been very effective. I would start by giving my students an obvious glance in their direction without other students noticing, which wouldn’t interrupt the flow of the class. If this was not successful I would move on to say their name as a warning, which would allow me to quickly get back to the lesson. Finally, if I had tried both of these methods and it was still not working I would use a more invasive strategy such as moving them to a different seat, or in a more serious case out of the classroom, which would unfortunately cause a bigger disruption in the classroom (Levin et al., 2016). I think most importantly during this process I would manage the environment by staying composed, but also being firm with the student, and than returning to the classroom promptly and positively.

    By yelling at the student, the teacher may be causing them to have anxiety, which can cause any student to want to look away. Students sometimes think if a situation is stressful or causes anxiety that if they don’t look at the person causing it that they won’t be able to see them and will leave them alone. In the case of having a student like John Elder in the classroom, one would need to make accommodations to the standards for him, accommodations simply means the add to or enhance the standards for his learning. If I had a student like John Elder in my classroom I would, depending on the subject, find a way to challenge him so that he doesn’t feel bored and hopefully by challenging him it will motivate him to do better.

When working with them, encourage thinking skills and help them take in the information visually by doing activities. These activities include categorizing, comparing and contrasting, observing, identifying patterns, cause and effect, problem solving, and using fact and opinion. Teachers should determine whether or not the child can understand by what they do rather than what she says. Teachers should be clear and specific about what they expect from the student. In the social aspect, the teachers can help the child recognize, understand, and use nonverbal communication. They can also help them become aware of perceptions and how others may perceive things different, which causes them to respond differently (Hamilton).

    Students spend a huge chunk of their lives in classrooms; the type of classroom helps or hinders them in life. Each student and teacher have reciprocal power; "reciprocal power enables teachers and students to undermine any attempt at domination by a single person in the classroom" (Pauly, 57). Students often use reciprocal power when they want to disrupt the class, screaming that they do not want to be in the class or do not want to learn. It is the teachers ' job to take that power back and show the class who is in charge of the classroom before all mayhem breaks

  • Management of Pupil Behaviour

    Because of these incidentds of disruptive behaviour it is important that teachers have in place their own methods of calming the class, or in some cases of repremanding them. The different methods of claming or repremanding the class are often debated amongst theorists. Johnstone, M is of the opinion ‘A lost temper is often needed in order for the pupils to realise the consequence of their actions’(Johnstone1992) Johnstone believes that a teacher needs from time to time to loose his/her temper in order for the class to notice that when they are disruptive the teacher gets angry and unpleasent. Wilson and Cowell do not agree with this belief. ‘It is essential for teachers to remain in control of themselves at all times, so that they may be a source of security for the pupils. They can be excited or enthusiastic or funny, or all sorts of things, but they must feel secure.’ (Wilson & Cowell 1990) As we can s...

However, considering my head will always be up, a simple gesture such as having the students put both hands in the air would let me know that they need me. Since students will be moving around, running to me for assistance would make things more chaotic.

  • Classroom Management Theories Essay

    (2005, Charles) The premise of Assertive Discipline is that both teachers and students have the “need and right” (2005, Charles) to a caring and respectful classroom environment. Teachers are required to facilitate learning and assist students in reaching their full potential. This is accomplished by teachers clearly and confidently articulating class expectations and teaching student’s what behavior is “acceptable and unacceptable” (Marsh 2010 p233). Cooperative behavior is encouraged by “incentives and recognition” (Lyons et al., 2014) whilst unruly behaviour is managed with a “hierarchy of sanctions” (Lyons et al., 2014). Equally, teachers also have the right to facilitate learning in a proficient manner without interruptions from students and have support from administrators and parents. (Berghuis, 2005,

In the first week of school, I establish my authority and I clearly and explicitly express my classroom and outside the classroom procedures that will be followed and the rights that every student has in the classroom. Some examples, all students have the right to learn, all students have a right to be heard, and all students have a right to be respected. There are consequences for those that chose not to abide. This set the tone for my classroom environment for the entire year so, that learning may take

  • Effective Discipline in Classroom Management

    As a teacher managing problem behavior in your classroom can be one of the most challenging tasks. Behavior problems can range from disruption of lessons to acts of violence against fellow students and teachers. Children’s emotional setbacks and life challenges can also contribute to behavior issues at school. A study done by the Justice Center and the Public Policy Research Institute found that six out of ten students suffered from an “emotional disturbance” and were expelled or suspended between seventh and twelfth grade (Firke, 2011). This same study showed that discipline varied greatly between schools. This report also revealed the urgent need for a more thoughtful technique in school discipline policies. In many cases teachers have exhausted their classroom management strategies without success. Behavior Modification is aimed at improving school and classroom behavior, and can give teachers additional tools to help them to deal proactively and effectively with behaviors that are disruptive to students and teachers in the classroom. When children are disruptive in the classroom it can cause a lot of problems for their classmates and their teacher. Yet, in the long run, it's the disruptive child themselves who is most impacted, on both a social and educational level (Epstein, Atkins, Cullinan, Kutash, & Weaver, 2008). Behavior modification techniques should be used in school, to change the negative behaviors, and increase the positive behaviors seen in these children.

  • Reflection Essay: Why Students Behave The Way They Do

    As discussed throughout this paper we build our classroom management plans based on our past experiences, our knowledge, our professional learning and our very own personal reflection. The importance of our beliefs, values and our philosophy play a major role in our planning. I, personally have a strong desire to support students who are often labelled ‘troubled’ and ‘the naughty child’, I believe there are reasons behind why students misbehave and strive to do my best as an educator to engage students through positive reinforcements as discussed and continue to put in place preventive practices. Building our own positive learning framework is key to a successful classroom. Even throughout our ongoing experiences we may adapt to other methods, theories and even values according to our journey as a teacher. Even as teachers we will always be learning and continue to perfect our individual
