I love the idea of having a "safe word."

Thanks for this podcast!

I love this content!

I'm so glad I found your channel! As a veteran teacher, I cosign on everything you said!

Thank you, this is very helpful. My students are not as bad after all😮😅

Here in 2024, this was amazing teacher advice! Thank You

Thank you ❤ you can apply this to work situations with other adults too I'm learning ❤

they just get hammered at with curriculum because they don’t explore in earlier years! I’ve been other podcasts talk about this trend! Could you do an episode on this?

Hey Angela! Just watched the danish episode!! I was going to add that high school students are more apt to take a gap year because they just get hammered at with curriculum because they don’t explore in earlier years! I’ve been other podcasts talk about this trend! Could you do an episode on this?

Explaining the rationale for doing work/engaging with work in students evidencing non-compliant behaviour(s) is largely ineffective. Non-Compliant behaviour is not responsive to Rationale explaining both before or following the antecedent behaviour. Guided compliance contingent to access to a preferred item or activity with or without response cost may increase compliance in a greater percentage of individuals. Non-compliance is correlated with other, more serious, issues such as Conduct Disorder and ODD. In explaining a rationale, for it to be considered complete, it must contain the following: 1) the response required, 2) the reason for the request, 3) the consequence for non-compliance. Also worth considering is an understanding of Intact Listener Repertoire: an individual's ability to understand and respond appropriately to verbal communication from others.

"How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Thank you Angela

students who behave like that may have additional learning needs because of an 'incovenient brain' (Bridge Dencla) Your approach still assumes that the student is a regular student, and could be approached with regular strategies.! Sometimes students can't do the work, and their behaviour is a form of avoidance.

Teachers are supposed to teach the content and not focused on behavioral problems. Administration and parents are supposed to do that job.

Please explain it directly without going around the bush.

I love the answers. Thanks for this post

You hit the nail on the head! Loved the advice, this should be played during teacher development seminars.

Promo sm 😢

I'm a sub. Older kids know I don't know their names, so they take the period as time off. They're going to get no work done. They'll play video games. They'll speak loudly. And if I fight back, they get belligerent. They're overtly rude and insulting and even throw things or leave the classroom. I will add, I'm not a teacher. I was a reporter, but I'm an older woman who can't get hired. So what happens is schools request that I don't return -- I have poor classroom management skills, etc. -- and I get fired. There are several sub placement services so I have work at the moment, despite being fired, but... I'm fine with little kids. They mean well. Working with them is common sense "being nice to little kids" stuff. But middle and ESPECIALLY high school... I'm in trouble. I'm looking around for advice that addresses the situation of the sub handling belligerent kids playing video games and angry that someone is trying to make them work.

Aloha- It took me an hour to listen because I needed to follow up on things you said. I was able to download a free lesson. I will try it and get back to you.

This is unreal , parents and students are totally out of control

Literally the best podcast EVER for Teachers Love it Thanks a Million

I never went in a school where phone was permitted yet I met a lot of different kids being schooled in different fashions were sometimes the phone was permitted in their school, from my observation in my school (private elitist school) their were little obvious difference and if banning phone made a difference in my school a lot more drama and fighting happened and the bullying was just old fashion locker type, some kids still got online bullying and hierarchical student groups and isolated students were everywhere (less severe than what American kids suffers from) . the mental health crisis didn't start with the phone, it started when the toxic dominator mentality put his hand on kids education and formation into product of society, instead of guiding them into self sufficient adulthood.(for my mind) this formation also shape a lot of the bullying mentality, sexism throughout history manuel is obvious and subconsciously shape the mind of the kids, the lack of charism in the teachers is also a problem as is the lack of responsibility for disciplinary behavior teachers has toward student, students loves each other most problems between them is due to jalousie, projection of interior conflicts and lack of emotional discipline, that's what's on the mind of kids, they cry fight and lie for their friends, teacher should absolutely avoid breaking friendship or taking side in fights, kids are mini adult avoid them jumping in each other throat but let them exteriorize their emotions and thought while making them feel safe while they do so and sometimes the teacher will have to take the bullet, act as a mirror or find a way to help the students to articulate the idea they want to share without shaming the students or acting as a omnipotent all knowing source of knowledge for example, cause they know it's bs teachers r tall kids and they know it, that's how they can f with teachers (figure of speech). also kids basically worship their parents so saying to a kid that you'll send him to hell when he go back at his home is the best way to break any trust and to create animosity, if the issue can be talk about and progress can be made without bringing god and Satan (mum and dad) just do it one step at a time otherwise the kids might get whoop the night and during some time he will be calmer but fear fade away and god and Satan will have to be summon again and again and at some point it will impact the overall mood of the student but first it will impact the social situation of the student, God and Satan awaits him so ofc it gets awkward in his mind and erratic though might arise so he can forget about the doom that await or even if nothing wrong was done some people fear so much their parents that they are in a constant fear of acting out BUT they are kids acting out and making mistakes is great for their personal development and character, acting out protects and teach them the nuances of subtle emotions found in the silence of a emotional tempest and the range of their own emotions they can have access, ofc the phenomenon should be natural and not controlled but the environment can be shape to help. concrete schools are depressing, my school was depressing but one was OMG we had a forest and it was just amazing, the joy and creative energy in the playground was palpable, because nature brings intimacy, confidence and protection when you fall different colors happen in grass while in concrete ouch!, when you run surrounded by trees its a adventure, when you run surrounded by concrete it's a cage. anyway I forgot my original thought about banning phones and I'm starting to go into abstract subjects. the mind is a wonder, who knows how one might evolve when even death is another step, limiting the growth of someone to our sight is cutting the wings of a angel reaching out for paradise. Last thought working with empathy is a huge step forward for humanity idk about the application in learning mathematics or bs history but it really helps also teaching kids to criticize and have their own opinion is important, I learned that from a friend that went in a unconventional school where bullying did not happened because they learned how to protect their opinion, respect and understand other people opinion. (I live in Belgium).

Most absolutely think it would help whole situation in the globe.

Good work this one. Taught me a lot as a novice teacher.

An attitude that stirs up anger with boys and men it is called indifference. This situation of indifference needs to be addressed truthfully. Sons needs Dads because Dads matter period. Health Education Administration and Literacy, Washington State is considering a commission for boys and men. Other states need to follow such Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and so on. 43:57

As an SSA to 16-33 year old students in a college setting this is a daily occurance. When underlining issues have been addressed and IEP, ILP's etc etc created in conjunction based on the students input (including prompting....often irritates them!) the outcomes remain poor at best. We follow guidance from Curriculum leaders and managers to no avail. There are no consequences for the student as the college rejects removing learners as they loose Local Authority funding if they reach that decision so they don't. Very demotivating for us SSA (Student support assistant).

What is the administration teaching when they reward behavior that should be disciplined?

I am fighting with my admin team now about how Bell to Bell is not the best nor is it idea. I am shot down every time due to the idea or concept being such an idea and requirement that has just been passed down from leader to leader and no one has actually looked at what it really is and the impact of it. I am sharing your research with them. I may still be shot down but I don't care because it is not a reality.

… as a German Biologist - it is the Essence of Inner Strength that develops after intense Endurance training When we train to exhaustion to almost break down and Collapse - together with others and experienced Coaches. Then we sense the charge of Energy we still have - to face a Big Challenge. It is this steady awareness of Energy level that allows us to be a Fire Fighter in a deadly encounter. Which will happen without any sign and warning

Weary of this. Ain't just boys struggling. Students and teachers are struggling because education in the US has been unsupported for decades. If Americans valued education, Americans would act like they valued education. Americans decidedly do NOT act like they value education.

I had a teacher who started the year with a video of the homeless in the streets of the city. He made it clear the reasons and motivstions for learning.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TOO!!!

Great tips!

🌺 "promo sm"

So many excellent points! Thank you!!

So true, 'Just in case' mentally.

Have a kid now that shuts down when work gets fast. He just quits. Thank you for this podcast. ❤

Wonderful episode 👍👍👍

I have a teacher who is constantly politicly neutral. When ever I try to talk about Trump rhetoric and try to educate others in my classroom who don't have the interest in politics or social injustice my teacher would tell me to not to talk about it. I feel like we are going through un normal times and we need to fix that. I am deeply concerned with our elected officials. I am concerned that their polices will affect us for the worse. When ever I try to bring my concerns she doesn't even reconcile but just moves on and goes out and about.

Does this work for special needs kids as well

And how about college!!!!

I also quit teaching multiple times, in fact three times, and only once with another teaching job lined up. Teaching GED made me brutally reductionistic in my thinking since it’s adult education, but adult education in both basic skills and high school equivalency diploma. In retrospect I came to the understanding that you cannot regard kids as workers, and that the schooling of minor dependent children is in reality just babysitting. And that furthermore, even the most wretchedly undereducated adults can handle both basic skills and then GED in as little as six to nine months, get their diploma, and then move on with their lives but being able to check off high school diploma on their future job applications. So in retrospect schooling of kids is intrinsically “chickenshit” and to the nth degree when you consider how institutional schooling is organized to simply control them, since someone must be held accountable for watching them all the time, in loco-parentis. This is why at the ghetto high school where I taught the kids were constantly agitating to be given bathroom passes because they were not permitted a realistic ten minutes to change classes, but only five minutes, because they couldn’t be trusted to not start fights when they had that much spare time to change classes. And that’s only the beginning of the all encompassing chickenshit which is inflicted on both the teachers and the kids. So color me “too cool for school”. This is why I came to prefer blue collar employment such as merchant seafaring and barbering. I also found the other teachers to be annoyingly petit bourgeois lower middle classs.

I've taught for almost 30 years in Houston as a science teacher. This week has been extremely rough and I am feeling a lot of what you have spoken on in this presentation. I'm actually glad I stumbled upon this podcast especially after leaving school today exhausted and sweaty.

Thank you

Teach kids accurate history. Talk about racism, the damage it’s caused, how it’s still around today, how to work against it, and that racism is evil. Just make sure you teach us in the same way. You have no idea how isolating and humiliating it feels to be singled out from your peers for your race. Kids know when you’re talking down to them. Kids notice when you’re acting differently to them. They pick up on that at a young age and being treated differently really hurts and does damage. Not to mention the white kids noticing that. Seeing teachers treat non-white kids differently makes them think “They’re different from us and I should treat them differently.” You are passively teaching children to racially segregate themselves. That’s not okay. I’m an adult now and I still remember when a white elementary teacher split us up in class to have different talks about racism. The white kids saw us differently for the first time because the teacher unintentionally sent the message “There’s you and then THEM.” She introduced a racial divide that many of us didn’t have yet. I know you mean well, but DO NOT alter the way you talk to children based on their race. It is very hurtful and damaging to everyone. Please treat and teach ALL of your students the same REGARDLESS OF RACE.

I love your free-talk style! I actually was able to engage with this better as an unscripted podcast.

Great discussion

Hi, I´m a foreing language teacher in the Dominican Republic and I was wondering if you can give me some tips on classroom management. My students don´t behave, they talk a lot when I´m trying to explain, they stand up a go bother others, and some times they fight. I´ve tried talking to them about their behavior, it did not work. What can I do? What kind of ponishment you can apply where you teach? I am a bit desperate. Thanks in advanced.
