I really like the idea of separating the primary and secondary exchanges. It's really hard not to get caught up emotionally in the secondary (eye rolling, etc.) exchanges in the moment.
In regards to the phone call about a job placement with Harmony. I wonder if the teacher could also ask about the call b/c assuming she's telling the truth, acknowledge its an important call and then still request the phone to be put away. Ignoring the secondary signs is the key here and only really comes through experience. Really helpful advice.
I guess you could say "Your boss would be really impressed if you are following school rules, because it means you would follow their rules. I'm sure they'd be happy to ring you back during lunch time." I know that's a bit long but it's worth a try.
If it was really an important call, she should have been excused to take the call outside. She shouldn't expect to take an important call in the middle of morning work.
So say I follow up on later in their own time, what are the consequences though? If the consequences aren't motivating, then rules are essentially unenforceable.
He says he wouldn't do that with a class of 5 year olds. What would he do? I'm working with 5 year olds at the moment and need some guidance in behaviour management strategies. Does anyone have any advice if they refuse to put it away?
I know it's an old comment but I hope this helps. You need to Model model model .. and model some more. Get the rest of the class involved. Ask, "Someone put their hand up and tell me. What do we do *in any given situation* .. when you get the right answer, praise the children who answered correctly. Then say, "Let's practise!" Get everyone to do it together and praise positive behaviour. If they still don't put it away - don't address him/her directly .. instead pick on a few more cooperative students in the class and ask them to have a go individually. When you're in the flow of things and the child seems engaged you could compliment positive behaviour and seamlessly ask them to follow suit.
And if she shouts and screams wandering flounce around you can't teach the other chn snd they end up taking center stage in the lesson. I'm really struggling with how to teach the rest during these times
Harmony. The irony of it.
This "take-up time" idea is important too

Bill you bloody legend.
Absolutely brilliant! As a teacher for over a decade working in numerpus schools, I feel that Mr Rogers has the best tips for behavioural management.
Thanks, I had a pouting EFL student and I kind of did the same as you, however I have not followed it up. I will now. Cheers

Really interesting and enriching insight for the newly qualified teacher.
Absolute legend Bill
I am very much impressed with your level of wisdom as to say experience with this topic.
"You bloody well will care!" 😂
good advice. Thanks.

Oh my goodness . Yes.

That's what I have a challenge with, there's no actual reason for them not to do the thing if they don't care about what happens next

It's not her fault, her parents called her Harmony :/
Don't diss harmony 😆
I want to find the reasons behind these characteristics...what are the psychological issues that led to...
2 hours detention straight away for anyone that messes around after 2 warnings they will never do it again
The good video but the lesson is still disruptive and other pupils will copy that and probably extend the bad behaviour
