What is the best way of moral training of my students?

Let them find their own line of right and wrong.  Don't push your line on them.  Ask the reason why they think why something is right or wrong.  Don't tell them that it is right or wrong.

Unless you are limited with your resources, why not just let them have what they want - there would be sufficient to go round. Once one cild <lol> has grabbed everything in his excitement, they will soon calm down once they start work and then you can share the stuff round or ask them to do it. \n\nIf you're limited, why not dish out the stuff or get them to pick something they want in turn? That way you could see their choices as they go and maybe even asked why they have chosen that/those particular thing(s). Make a nice talking point wouldn't it?\n\nAnd I'm not even a teacher! lol.\n\nGood luck.

teaching is the building block.. and with each goal they want to achieve, support them. but allow them to do it. \n the web below is a freebie thats how i started them off.

The first thing you need to do is establish your disipline plan; rules and consequences. Be very firm with these. You have to have a good disiplined class before any of the other stuff even matters. In other words if your students are not disiplined then it will not matter what you teach because they will not be listening anyway. As far as what you teach, that depends on what grade you are teaching or your subject matter. Get with some other teachers in your area or grade level and they will help you out I'm sure.\n\ntosmith \nhighschool math teacher

Treat the children as equals, provided they are not your children.  Even if they are yours,  do not talk down to them, and don't be hypocritical.  Play the game as they play it.\nRemember how much fun it was to just let your imagination go and play, play, play.

I don't know if there is a MOST effective strategy.  Anything that gets the students thinking works well.  It also depends on how long the text is.\n\nSome ideas:  \n\nDecision walls - Put a yes/agree card on one wall and and a no/disagree on the other.  Make the students take a stand.  Ask them questions related to the text that they must agree or disagree with.  Get them to explain their answers.\n \nIf the text has pictures, give the kids one and ask them to predict the story.\n\nIf you're working with a non fiction text, try to give them a short (5 Q's) true false quiz with the strangest info in the text.  \n\nThere's always Think - Pair - Share to get the students thinking as well.

1. discipline. We seem to have given up on this concept. We don't want to "hurt" any one's feelings. We really need to teach kids at a young age that there are consequences for thier actions.\n2. Rewards. Kids should only be rewarded for excellence. No more rewarding everyone. Why should I try harder if the guy next to me does nothing and gets the same reward?\n3. Trust. The student must be able to trust that you are fair and just and that you care about thier success.

You have quite a week coming up, don't you?\n\nI think the best approach to use is a practical one.  No, you wouldn't bribe the kids in a classroom that is your regular class, but you don't have time to discipline this class, to teach them to conform to your expectations over time.  They know you're only going to be there a short time and that your assessment of them isn't the one that will be on their report cards.  They don't have much reason to cooperate, do they?\n\nSo, giving rewards (not bribes) is the plan.\nWhen you are thinking what to do, I'd suggest that the rewards program doesn't take much of your time and attention.  I tried giving raffle tickets out once and found that I was forever handing the things out and they were really getting in the way of doing other things.  How about smaller rewards more frequently given?  If you can give them ten extra minutes of recess as a reward for a morning of good behavior, that will keep them more motivated than a bigger reward at the end of the week.\nIf you want to reward just some of the kids (because there will be some stinkers, even in a generally good class) you could try something like a treat at the end of the day or something they could show their parents, a certificate of good behavior.  Maybe having a "Roll of Honor" that will remain for the regular teacher to see with the names of good students will get kids to try to be included.\nI think you also have to work some way that kids who get off to a rocky start in the week can sort of get on board and achieve some reward, too.  I like your idea of making the rewards program start new each day.  If you are doing the Roll of Honor thing, perhaps the kids who are good each day could get a star after their name each day they qualify for the list.  That way even if a kid only behaves on Friday, his success can be recognized and another kid who was good all week will remain motivated since each day's success is noted.\n\nGood luck!

get involved with the students and know them beyond the teacher/student relationship.  is there anything that they're dealing with at school?  perhaps a school event?  talk with them about things other than books and problems.  i don't know what grade level you're talking about and i'm not a teacher, just a student.  perhaps have activities that can show the students that it's not all about homework and tests.  how to do this?  not so sure.  but these are my suggestions.

Group work, hands down.  Students learn more from each other than they learn from lecture.  Give assignments to groups (even just simple worksheets) and have them turn ONE in for the whole group.  Never let the groups grow beyond 5 or 6 members and assign the members randomly to their groups.  You'd be amazed how much they learn from each other and how much they enjoy and retain the material

Try being a little bit more strict, not to the point of being harsh though. Just let them know that you are their teacher, and they need to stay on task. Also be consistent with your punishings. For instance, if one week you punish a lot of children for talking, and the next week you slack off a little bit, then they may get the idea that its okay to talk whenever they want to. Hope this helps. =)

The same way you deal with rowdy students in any class.\n\nLay out a set of simple rules, clearly posted in the classroom. Do the same for consequences, and be prepared to follow up on them. Try to provide consistency with other teachers in your building...the same rules and consequences, posted, and enforced in the same way can really cut down on misbehavior.\n\n"No speak that English stuff" is a remarkable cop-out on their part. They know exactly what they're doing, and they'll understand the rules and consequences just fine (I've been an exchange student struggling with the native language, so I know for sure exactly what they're capable of). \n\nP.S. For parents' notes home, your administration should be able to help you get simple checkbox behavior letters written in the parents' native language, for you to MAIL to them. Be sure to also include checkboxes for excellent behavior, and surprise the good kids with letters at home praising them, too.

As a classroom teacher, the best thing you can do to create a community is a program called Morning Meeting.  You can order the book through the website below or at Amazon.com.  It will detail how to run morning meetings and activities to use.  The students love it and it really gives each student a chance to share and feel important.  Plus it gives you, as the teacher, a chance to let them know things you are excited about and things you need to work on as a class.  I used this format last year and the kids loved it!

Well I'm a LPC that has been working with at risk kids for five years.  It's late right now, so major things to work on.\n\n1. Learn about morality therapy as much as you can.  it is not really mainstream, but these kids really need to rebuild a moral center.  Book (what do u stand for?)  great morality builder.\n\n2.  you will prolly have more success with the adults.  Adolescents are aweful, but in working with them, you need to come through the back door.  Like, I will find out what a certain kid likes, ex. Eminem, and have it playing as they come in for their first session.  Most of em are like, "Wow you like that music."  and that's the back door.  Also, teenagers don't wanna know that they are being counseled, so you need to be "under the hood" when talking with them.  Some sort of activity that they are interested in.\n\n3.  Study contempory adlerian therapy for children.  \n\n4.  In my experience, 99% of the time it is the child's aweful past with someone or their parents who are really messed up.  I never met a problem kid with Beaver Cleaver parents.\n\n5. stay patient..kids like these can drive you bonkers at times...to keep yourself sane...keep saying that this kid is sick or his family is sick...stay with em'...they need me...you find in time that these same kids will tell you as they have told me with tears in their eyes, "You're not gonna leave me too are u.  You're a lot of fun."  It is at this moment that you will know y you became a counselor.\n\n\nGood Luck and take care.

I'd love to say that the Parents and not the schools should be teaching ethics and morals, but alas, that's not a very dependable approach.  Children of all ages should be taught about tolerance for others, acceptance, kindness, duty and service (to anything: be it class, school, city, state, or country, they should be taught to contirbute to something other than themselves), intergrity and honesty (reardless of faith or lack of faith, all religions agree on this), and the legal rights and wrongs (regardless of whatever moral objections or not one may have- the law is the law).  Ethics and morals are best taught in the context of history and current afairs and should be an open dialouge, not a moral lesson to be preached from teh teacher's desk.  That's what religious services are for if one cooses to attend.
