I deeply appreciate how you "see" students. You see them as people, deserving respect while also keeping them to account. This approach truly helps students reach their potential and fosters self-pride, yet encourages them to ever raise their bar.
Omg, I needed this! I’m so used to teaching preschool - elementary students. This is the first time I’m teaching middle school and I have no idea how to handle behavior 😭 saving this
I am a young teacher and I am currently working with upper elementary/ middle/ and high school students with little experience in those age groups. My studies reflected elementary-level pedagogy. I have noticed significant strides in approaching and confronting with a neutral and clear mindset has greatly helped me build students’ trust at an exponential rate.
You explained how to deal with difficult students really well! Thanks for the great points about being mindful. I completely agree that students react in response to how WE react. Teachers definitely hold more influence and control in their students' behavior (by controlling their own approach first!) than they sometimes realize. Thank you for sharing your insight!
Great tips! I also treat every day as a new one - maybe a student and I had words, but I will treat him/her exactly the same the next day, as if nothing happened. That shows consistency, and it shows that you’re not trying to target that student. It helps to calm things down.
Yes, many great tips! I've done some before especially moving close to someone being disruptive or just looking at them briefly, sometimes they just want to be acknowledged. I work at a school based in a shelter for children. There are challenging situations and sometimes kids just refuse to do their work. It is my job to engage them but sometimes they just need a breather/space. Thank you, just found you and subscribed
I just completed student teaching and my "challenging" children (jr. high) were my favorites! I have a fear of calling home to communicate concerns. My parents (I wasn't the type to get in trouble) would get crazy angry for everything: ex- getting screamed at while asking for homework help and/or hit. It makes me so hesitant to reach out for fear of getting students screamed at or beat (it is very hard not to project).
I really dig your video and I used some of the approaches with a troublesome class today. 1) favouring peace over control 2) giving a role to someone who keeps talking 3)not being too personal. The class enjoyed the lesson. Many thanks Rodney
Needed to hear the one about assumptions. As a sub, though, a heads up with constructive suggestions about how to deal or not with a student is helpful. The best was the peace or control comment. Thank you!
I really wish my teachers growing up had seen this video and followed this advice. As a kid I was a weird mix of way too smart, too "mature" for my age (read: traumatized), socially undeveloped, and ADHD with issues with authority and following rules...with parents that put a world of pressure on me for being a math prodigy. I learned how to control my behavior more by highschool, but in elementary school this one teacher would make me sit apart from the rest of the class, punish me for correcting her by giving me extra work, talked to the classroom about how I was "special" with me in the room, forced me to wear plain jeans and a plain shirt despite there not being a uniform, and frequently giving me 0s on assignments for "no reason" (perceived rudeness). All in all it sucked. I hope that today more teachers are following advice like you give. I found this video because I am homeschooling my little brother who is ADHD, addicted to video games, procrastinates, always does the bare minimum (usually less), and has problems with authority. I have an easier time with it than my parents bc I understand some of the issues, but it can still be difficult to get him to work without getting in a fight. Thank you, hopefully I can apply some aspects of these, though I don't have a classroom setting or a school system framework.
My cousin w ADHD & Asburgers (sp?) Worked out a system w/ his profs where he recorded their mistakes in a notebook and discussed his concerns after class! He now has his PhD and is a college prof himself!!!! Annnd, now I teach 10th grade at a school where the children really struggle academically ...and I come home to my own brilliant 8 yr old son... with ADHD, Autism, and authority issues... my challenges feel unrelenting. 😮
How do you ideal with students who are really behind (I teach english in a private school) parent sometimes think that just because they pay , kids deserve a high grade. Some of the kids who are behind is because they just don't go to school not connect to their online classes.
My instructor that I had for music in the curriculum and he would give me his students blank slate because the instructor said you might of experience being penalized for other students mistakes from the other music teacher’s, band directors and marching band directors.
I’m definitely dealing with culture shock. I was all honors Englisb until AP was available, but I’m teaching CP, where two out of my nearly eighty students got an A on their EOC last year, and most failed. I have to remember how I felt in math class in high school.
Hi I'm from Philippines can you make a vlog about interviews for teacher ... So that we can also an idea it's my first time to watch your videos, I'm interested about certain topic...
Hey! I recently posted this video. th-cam.com/video/A39QLRbgaSg/w-d-xo.html Hopefully it's helpful but for sure building relationships remotely is HARD
Very true, it happens but....it's just the nature of the classroom and students, not every single one of them will always listen and follow directions but we do our best and we do whatever we can...
I don’t believe all these are applicable to elementary 3rd grade, right? Down for respect and keeping your cool but these 8,9,10 years old are tough. I have three that distract all the time and me going to them and pulling them to the side and speaking to them is not realistic. If I do this the rest will go bonkers
Your comment completely makes sense, and not sure how it would apply in an elementary school classroom. My career has been 7-12, so my lens for advice is definitely going to be different compared to elementary school.
Even students can have teachers who is hard to please. That I can understand but this video would have to be about teachers that have to deal with troubled students. There are times a teacher will say to the student figure it out instead of helping them. The older the student gets, they take studying seriously. Maybe what this video is about is for teacher who is dealing with kindergarden students or elementary school students since at that age, they don't have a goal in mind of studying. I am sure what that means is maybe the student might be autistic and had not yet made it to college. I mean those are a group of students who is very young and not even ready to study and has no goal. I agree, even students can have difficult time with professors. There are times that students try to best to please their teacher but that teacher might be a hard ass to please. So maybe this video might be for teachers who does not do grading and maybe those students are not teens nor adults yet. This video is most likely for teachers who is dealing with troubled students. Maybe the teacher is dealing with students who is not willing to learn.
1. be mindful of behavior. Teachers can escalate the behavior. how to descalate the situation. Have a consequence ladder kicking student out of classroom they will hold onto grudge 2. address them in private with post it note tone matters. address the entire classroom. calling a kid out gets them 3. reach out with prior teacher or current one to help 4. dont' make assumptions about student 6. consequences for behavior, not academics 7. do not be tough with one kid to make a point with entire classroom. 8 call parents
thank you much so .....please ..my dear friend support our star AMANDA ...she is top ........as for me 1000000000000 likes ...thank you so much to all you ..... see you soon .....
Some teachers are too negative. And power struggles are usually won by the children. Kids have to want to be in class and learning. We have to try and help them to change their attitude.
There is always that one student that stirs up the rest of them
I have 3 out of 10 in a tuition class
I deeply appreciate how you "see" students. You see them as people, deserving respect while also keeping them to account. This approach truly helps students reach their potential and fosters self-pride, yet encourages them to ever raise their bar.
You're one of the best ones I've met so far. You don't speak like you've never had the experience and you are straight to the point.
Omg, I needed this! I’m so used to teaching preschool - elementary students. This is the first time I’m teaching middle school and I have no idea how to handle behavior 😭 saving this
I love your approach to teaching. I can tell that you really care about your students💛
4:39 Remove emotions as much as possible from yourself
7:10 consequence ladder
This was so helpful as a first year middle school teacher so blessed I found your channel! You are an inspiration!!
These are fantastic tips that even as a veteran teacher I need to remember. I really appreciate this video.

Thank you for the tips and The Highlighted numbers. I agree, we need to monitor ourselves and our behaviors as well.

Exactly! Well said. Thank you for taking the time to comment!

Thanks for your video! This will apply for elementary students as well! ❤
This seems actually helpful. Thank you, Amanda !!!
I used to teach a bunch of those students. I agree with you. Knowing what to say and how to say it is crucial!
Can you PLEASE do a classroom tour and first year teacher must haves??
What if while you’re addressing one student, 5 more are doing something else to cause issues
This video was fantastic! I’ll definitely use these tips in my high school classes.
I'm so glad you found it helpful
Good channel!!!! Gonna definitely use the consequence ladder in my future job as a teacher.
Yes, many great tips! I've done some before especially moving close to someone being disruptive or just looking at them briefly, sometimes they just want to be acknowledged.

Yes that is the "ultimate" last resort for me!

So interesting! Many thanks for sharing these useful tips!!
I am going to be a secondary earth science teacher in about 1.5 years. Your channel really helps me feel prepared.
I am a substitute teacher so this is a good reminder!
This is great thank you!!
Very excellent ideas, miss thank you very much.
This is very good advice, thank you!
Absolutely helpful. Unfortunately, there are many times that Ss agree to make the class more difficult.
Needed to hear the one about assumptions. As a sub, though, a heads up with constructive suggestions about how to deal or not with a student is helpful. The best was the peace or control comment. Thank you!
thank you for sharing ,your so kind @ very well explanation
Thanks!! I’m transitioning to Middle School 🏫 next August.

Ooof..you were "correcting" your teacher? ..you're brave lol

Impressive presentation, Amanda. Thank you
Attitude is one of the mandatory evaluation in my place, so it's tied to their grade.
Thank you for sharing your approach to teach. By the way, where did you get your floral top? It's so pretty and goods on you.
Thanks so much for your recommendations teacher. Seeing you from 🇨🇴 Colombia. 🌻
Wow that's awesome! Hello!
Love the transparency!
Thank you so much for this video!
Wow, amazing video!
Thanks! excellent model for teachers!

*deal

Thanks, Amanda, it helped me a lot. i must also say, you are so beautiful
Hello maam,new subscriber here! I love your approach to teaching ...❤❤❤
Good advice. Thank you.
How about how to handle student who don't want to talk during recitation?
Good video thank you!

Hi I'm from Philippines can you make a vlog about interviews for teacher ... So that we can also an idea it's my first time to watch your videos, I'm interested about certain topic...
Any tips for virtual teaching? Sometimes it’s so hard to build relationships online
Hey! I recently posted this video. th-cam.com/video/A39QLRbgaSg/w-d-xo.html Hopefully it's helpful but for sure building relationships remotely is HARD
Thank You
Interesting deal with vs teach to
hey teacher thnks for this awesome video. Do have a video for online teaching?
We’ve got one that completely ruins it for the rest of the class, which is not fair to them.
Very true, it happens but....it's just the nature of the classroom and students, not every single one of them will always listen and follow directions but we do our best and we do whatever we can...
This is a very informative and well done video.
thank you teacher..
Love!!!
,Have you created a video re: "How a SUBSTITUTE teachs difficult students' There is only day to day no month to gain trust disrespect is high
AHHHH that's a great idea for a video that definitely requires a different approach
Topic starts at 3:54
I need great help with my difficult students
Amazing content!
Aww thank you!!
Yes mine is the same

And when 6 gang up on you
How about a student who has difficulty…..

1. be mindful of behavior.
Teachers can escalate the behavior.
how to descalate the situation.
Have a consequence ladder
kicking student out of classroom
they will hold onto grudge
2. address them in private with post it note
tone matters. address the entire classroom.
calling a kid out gets them
3. reach out with prior teacher or current one to help
4. dont' make assumptions about student
6. consequences for behavior, not academics
7. do not be tough with one kid to make a point
with entire classroom.

None of this works with illegal Hispanic students
