I am a substitute teacher, and I've just been teaching for one month. I absolutely love EVERYTHING I have learned from your videos thus far! I've already taken notes, made plans to implement ideas, and purchased your Starter Activities set. I am so thankful to God that I can learn these invaluable lessons, thanks to your diligence and wisdom, at the beginning of my career. As soon as this career of mine takes flight... I will be back for more products! Sincerely, "Miss Brown."
Had to leave a comment. What a great piece of advice! I'm studying to be a primary school teacher and this is definitely going to help. I really like the noise maker, shushers and the idea with the visual traffic light. I will try and incorporate these.
This is an amazing video! Thanks! I've recently finished my Teaching course unfortunately, I was never given a chance to teach younger learners and was given a placement teaching adults.. TOTALLY DIFFERENT and to make it worse we were never really taught about classroom management! as surprising as that may sound, they never emphasised on it and I regret choosing to do my PGDE course from there but these techniques are brilliant! I only just went to cover as a substitute supply teacher the other day my first ever experience and I must say could not handle the class and by the end of the day I felt like laughing and crying at the same time..but never going to let one bad day impact me or my decision of choosing teaching as a career. Will use your techniques hope it works..
I appreciate your suggestions and your willingness to share your experience. Regarding consequences to being last: The concept of not being overly harsh I'm on board with. But what message does it send if you have 6 students wasting time by talking, and only one has consequences? And by that I mean, not just in the classroom, but to a developing human being trying to figure the world out.
I am new at substituting and I am finding behavior management to be the hardest so far. I am subbing for elementary students..These are great ways to get their attention, but what type of consequences could there be for a student or students who keep disrupting the class? I have found that once a few students get loud, the whole class gets loud. The students would quiet down after I would shut the lights off and they would be mindful of their behavior, but then they would start up again. It was a rollercoaster all day.
Well, a consequence might be something related to the fact that the student has wasted time by talking. It shouldn't be particularly harsh - the idea is just to make the student realise that they can't talk over you. You might move them to another seat at the front for five mintues - they can move back if they remain quiet for the 5 minutes. Important thing is to start small so that you can always add more - rather than steaming in with a detention or something equally OTT.
It's difficult to discuss this effectively like this I'm afraid. At the end of the day all uyou are doing is applying a small consequence - very small - just to ACKNOWLEDGE that talking at certain times is inappropriate. You're basically just showing them that you're aware of the situation, just acknowledging the fact they are talking when they shouldn't be. Don't get caught up on the 'consequence' thing - it's not like you're giving one person a detention while the others get away with it.
THAT WAS GREATTTT!!! THANKSSS...MY VOICE IS IN PAIN :(...AND U'RE HANDSOME TOO....DONT C HOW U CAN HAVE PROBLEMS OF GETTING ATTENTION JAJAJA!!! LOVED LISTENING TO U!! :))))
OK red card - 30sec to calm down if not what? I've tried si many things but with 1 student nothing works he is constantly challenging me and pushing my buttons I'm exhausted
Awesome tips, thank you. I think I'll implement the traffic lights next week whenever they're working on an activity. A small bell would do the trick to get them to settle down when they come in, too. Twenty-eight esl students really take a toll on me, it's great to get their attention without using words they can't understand in the first place.
And... if there were 5 or six students blatantly talking, I would apply the consequence to all of them. Sorry if I seem blunt - there's not much room to explain things with the limited word count here. I think we've laboured this enough.
Привет, преподаю англицский в Москве. Раеьше я ратотаоа только сотвзрослыми. И тинкйджеров подростков видела только в страшных снах и когда заменяла в чужих группах. У меня одна группа шумная и провоеационная. Но все зорошие дрьи на самом деле. Просто не хватает опыта именно в таких вот "таф" классах. Надеюсь я вынесу что-то полезное . Мне кажется, ваш контент вечьма полезен.
I loved this video Rob. I think this tips are fantastic to get attention from Primary Students. Indeed, I will keep watching your videos. I use the noise maker technique but instead of a bugle horn I have a small bell. When I ring it everyone must be quiet or I write their name down in a behaviour notebook that I have.
I assume this is more things for primary than secondary kids,, I'm a primary teacher but just got a job in a secondary school in my language specialty and I'm not sure how these techniques would work with older kids
Miss PhDiva Oh very sweet of you! :) Actually teaching my first class tomorrow,, though Ii've spent a few days in the school already! I'm actually in Australia :)

Julie Brown Thanks Julie!! :-)
I really appreciate this video which helped me more to control my class which always has caused me problem with my teaching. Thanks all.

This was exactly what i needed thank you. Have a tough class and your videos have really really helped
videos, are no nonsense techniques that are a great starting point

This is Brilliant!! Thank you so much for sharing
I like your ideas, too. I'll buy some noisy instrument in a toy shop. The ideas with shushers & traffic lights are fantastic.

just wonderful. Thanks Rob
Brilliant! I will incorpórate all of your ideas. Thanks a lot.
Yes. What do you mean by having a consequence to being last?
Thank you for sharing! I will steal some of your great ideas :)
You mentioned about giving consequence to the last student to put their hand up. Would you be able to provide examples of consequences you use?
I take it that you're referring to the hands-up routine. We don't punish - we build in appropriate consequences. There's a difference.
Excellent!! Brilliant! Thanks
great help to me
thank you
Simply Great. You are Awesome!
This is great!
All of them really good, I´m not sure about the last one...what happens if you get to 1 and they are still making noise?

Good stuff, glad to help. :-)
No problem - a pleasure :-)
Thanks
OK red card - 30sec to calm down if not what? I've tried si many things but with 1 student nothing works he is constantly challenging me and pushing my buttons I'm exhausted
No problem my friend! :-)
how do you call a student who in charge of making other students keep silent. Su... what... I can't write the word.
LOVE the assigned shushers idea! I can definitely see this working with one class I'm struggling with at the moment.
I'm trying the shushers today in my classrooms!

Mate! You love teaching don't you? You have found your true path. Thank you for sharing your journey with me.

Haha. :-)

Awesome. Thanks heaps.
Bad idea to punish the last person...horribly bad idea.
my Teacher say 1-2-3 and then everybody stop talking.
Isthat in primary school?
I would always see you. :-)
It can definitely be used in secondary

I misunderstood at first, but now I get what you mean. Thanks for your patience.

Good luck to you especially if you're teaching in an inner city London school lol
