Disruptive behavior can not be tolerated, but a good teacher must be tactful in the way they deal with it.
Good course...exactly what I needed to hear. I need to be more confident in my apporach inidicually with the student exhibiting negative/disruptive classroom behaviors, instead of putting it on the whole group of students.
Passing the student a note instructing them how they need to redirect their behavior is a great idea. That limits any disruption during a lecture or class discussion, Q and A.
Class room & school wide discipline are different in nature but work hand in hand.
Class room discipline should be handed with these things in mind:
- Be positive
- Be tactful
- Ask student to submit a brief statement on how they will improve their behavior
- Never lose ones temper
- Never ignore the issue
- As the student to meet right after the class to discuss the issue. ( correct issues privately)( address the behavior, & not the student directly)
- Always use “I” language & avoid “you” language.
- Always start class & end class on time.
- Continually evaluate how I handle discipline issues.
