Less is more.\n\nStart with nonverbal eye contact, a raised eyebrow...and exude dissapointment in their judgement with every pore of your being. Most of the time, that stops it cold, especially when they know that you will follow up with more severe responses if they don't toe the line.\n\nIf they still are at it, ignoring you, etc. move into closer proximity to them. Stand next to them. Continue with your instruction while you're doing this.\n\nIf they are still at it, say their name, quietly but clearly. State the behavior you want them to do. "Joe, sit quietly and listen (or read, or complete the assignment, etc.)."\n\nIf they are still at it after that, now it is time to pull out your formal big guns (your posted consequences). Start with the verbal warning. "Joe, if you do not sit quietly and listen (or read the book, etc.), you will have to stay a minute after the bell (or whatever your first consequence is)."\n\nIf he doesn't respond to that, then there is no further warning. Start down your list of consequences.\n\nTypical elementary school lists tend to be as follows:\n1) 5 minutes off the next recess\n2) loss of all of the next recess\n3) lunch detention\n4) call home to parents\n5) trip to principal's office after calling parents\n\nTypical secondary school lists are similar, but it is one minute or three minutes after the dismiss bell rather than recess time for the first two consequences.\n\nUsually, there is one or two "volunteers" at the beginning of the semester/year who will help you prove to the others that you are consistent, unwaivering, and fair about following the consequences. The others will take note, and you will not have to use the more severe consequences all that often.

I agree role play is a very effective way to teach...\n\nsome additional suggestions:\nHave each student play both sides of any "scene" and then open the discussion up to comments from the entire class.\n\nYou could have a list of things to be discussed and have the first student draw a topic... who ever "answers" can be the next to draw a topic.

Try "The Displine Book" by Doctor Sears.\n\nThe main thing to recognize is that there is no magic punishment that is going to stop them from misbehaving. No matter what method you use, you have to be prepared to use a lot of repetition!

Try dealing with hundreds of little A-holes all day!  Actually, the teacher's lounge is a gathering place to compare notes on trouble makers, and how they can combine to make his or her life a living hell!  Feel you are being treated poorly by several teachers?  You must have been the daily topic in the lounge! By the way, nice grammar!  go to school!

Unfortunately, having to interact with persons that you do not like is good training for the "real world".  We all have to work, at some time, with someone that we do not want to work with.  The best way to deal with such a person is to treat them with kindness.  If he's looking at you in a threatening way, then smile, and say "How's it going, Man!" and then go on about your business.  If he insults you, then say something like "Hmmm.  I see where you're coming from!" then go on about your business.  In other words, don't feed the fire, and by being "cooperative" you will confuse him when he does not get the reaction that he expected.  On the other hand, if he is threatening you with physical harm, then do not walk away but look him dead in the eye and tell him to "lay off".  Hold your ground, and your eye contact.  Most bullies will run when confronted with determined opposition.  And do alert your teacher or principal if you feel that you are in real danger.

Always listen.\nAlways observe carefully.\nLet their minds be free.  Help them to think for themselves by not giving them all the answers.\nRemember that the ultimate purpose of education is not to make a career or win money, but to understand humanity and therefore, be happy and live fully.\nLearn about the group age you are teaching.\nDon´t just give them information.  Try to make of every class a life experience.\nIn order to learn something, we need that the subject we are learning have a meaning.  In other words, avoid the abstracts and try to be concrete.  Abstraction is a usefull mind process, but it should come AFTER we classify data on concrete grounds.\nMake fun of serious things and be serious about things that may seem silly.\nBe honest.\nAccept the way you feel and be mindfull of that before entering the classroom.

When my class is getting a little crazy. I don't try to stop everyone, I randomly pick one or two kids that are misbehaving and punish them. This tactic normally scares the crap out of my students and they've gotten better at noticing when I get that crazy look in my eye.

first off if you were my child I would tell you to not talk in class,\nbut I would make an appointment and go talk to this so called teacher.\nwhat she did was much worse than what you did..\nshe is an authority figure and the students are suppose to follow her lead( learn for what she, she says and what she does )\nI can guarantee she would not like to be treated in this fashion in front of students or her teacher friends..\nyes if I were you I would think it through before you talk to her, but I would make an appointment to talk to her..\nyou can start off by saying you are sorry, this way she can't get on you...\nif this does not solve it go to her boss.

Have a good attitude. Most teachers have great ideas that cannot fly without students being willing to go on the journey.  Nobody can have fun if they are constantly being corrected or yelled at nor can a teacher be fun if they are always weary of behavior.

In a school I went to for my GED there was, as in nearly any class, detractive students.  It was actually suggested that we tell interrupting students to be quiet, and that the teacher would not have any qualms with that.  Depending on the individual, there are numerous tacks to take.  If this person is a brat they may be acting out, and even assaulting you.  Watch for clever verbal assaults.  One of the best responses I've found is: "It's unfortunate that you feel that way!"  If that doesn't work try: "Everyone in the class knows what you're up to."  You'll be surprised how well that works!

Short sessions - 5 minutes & walk away for 5 - 10 minutes.\nPatience.\nRepetative lessons.\nVisual aides - counting? lay out money on table to work with.\nMake sure he/she repeats back what you've said.\nMake eye contact.\nRemove distractions - pets, other kids, noise.\nNever show your frustration! This only tells the child he's a pain & not worthy of help.\nNo yelling or raising your voice. This cuts an ADD kid deeper than you'll ever know & sticks w/ them a long time!\nWhen you've finished a chapter, go back & do a quick refresher the next week. Just to cement the lesson.\nRemember, ADD kids have approximately a 5 minute attention span, so technically they only retain 40% of what you teach. If you think that's frustrating for you, think about how they feel!

It totally depends on what the student is doing wrong, doesn't it? The student needs to know what behavior they are doing that is not acceptable.  I would establish some rules.  Once the student knows the rules, if the behavior is repeated, warn the student if he/she does it again, there will be consequences, and let him/her know what those consequences are.  I think this also works with any age groups.  The punishment depends on the age group.  Also, I think a positive way is to tell the student when they are doing well or doing what they are supposed to instead of always telling him/her what they are always doing wrong.  It seems to me whenever I compliment a student, the behavior that is acceptable is repeated because they want to impress you.  Then, the other students will follow through if they are getting compliments.  I hope this helps.

Don't reason with a student when they are angry. Give them two choices and set out the consequences of those choices.\n\nWhen they have calmed down you may be able to discuss the issues raised with them further or find out what caused the outburst.

OK, I'm a mean teacher.  Let me tell you what we're looking for (unless you mean a real mean teacher who is just mean for the sake of being mean - if you mean that, stay off the radar).\n\nFirst, do what you're supposed to.  You've got to be there and we've got to be there.  If it's time to listen and take notes, do that.  If it's time to read, do that.  If it's time to do work whether it's by yourself or in a group, do that.\n\nSecond, don't lie.  Always better to tell the truth and get in trouble. \n\nThird, be respectful.  Of everyone.  Teachers, students, lunch ladies, custodians.  A well placed "sir" "ma'am" "thank you" and "please" can do wonders to improve a teacher's mood.\n\nFinally, take responsibility for yourself.  If you make a mistake, own up to it then try your best to fix it.  \n\nThat's all we want.  Usually, if we're being mean it's to (are you ready) teach you something.  Maybe prepare you for the future.\n\nGood luck.
