"You know those classes where you have that one student"
Yes, except there are four, help
It's amazing to me that students have become so coddled, so spoiled, so overly sensitive and parents don't care enough about their education, that we have to resort to ALL OF THIS to get them on task.
When you're dealing with students who just don't care, no technique under the sun is going to work with them!
I've just quit as a school teacher to do private tutoring. The stress of dealing with classes where kids simply would not pay attention ground me down to the point where it ruined my whole life. I couldn't sleep. I'd spend the week looking forward to the weekend and the weekend dreading going back on Monday.
When I was in school it wasn't like this. I went to a very strict school where we didn't talk in class, because if we did there would be consequences. All of the teachers were strict and consistent, and routines were drilled into us. When the teacher came into the room we stood up and became silent. When the teacher was talking we listened. Over time it just became a habit that we followed without thinking really. And honestly speaking school was a better experience for everyone concerned because of that. I came out with an excellent education. Not only that, I listen to people and I don't interrupt. I've noticed that a lot of people don't have a clue about this basic courtesy.
So you’re saying that this video would have helped you stay?
@@antwanthorogood4921 This video is great and Reynolds is clearly a top class teacher, but no, I doubt this would have helped me stay. I've studied classroom management techniques a lot and used the various techniques and over 2 years of teaching I did get better at it, but still, most classes were a constant struggle to maintain some kind of environment where teaching could take place. By contrast my private students are polite and attentive and they make amazing progress relative to what's possible in a class where the disruptive ones stop everyone from learning.
I'm a first year teacher and I want to quit too. 😢 I hate going to work. I'm too overwhelmed with everything and I regret taking this job.
@@perlalopez206 what made you want to teach in the first place?
@@perlalopez206 Have you talked to your colleagues or management about your problems? They may be able to help you with some advice or having an experienced teacher demonstrate a lesson for you. This certainly helped my situation in my first few weeks.
Elective teacher here. I 100% agree that talkative kids don’t always understand that their talking impacts the entire class. Their situational awareness is super low and developing along with that frontal lobe!
They often don't realize how loud they are either. I've had students whispering in the back and get defensive when they get called out. "but we were quiet!"
Not quiet enough. If I can hear you from the front of the room so can everyone else in the room.
I agree this works for most but man I have a 7th grade class that has dug their heels in so deep the entire school has meetings just about them and their disruption. The only way to give instruction is to walk table to table. The first class I've had in 8 years where most aren't passing. They actually bully kids who are trying to listen. Things have changed a lot post pandemic, we need smaller class sizes.
Abuse of public education privileges. Bad drivers have their license taken away until they are compliant with rules of the road. Same with education... rules of behavior in school.
Similar situation here. I'm a first year teacher and I have 75% of the students on behavioral contracts in my class. It's been so stressful. Even the students not on contracts are ridiculous.
There's ben slight improvement but I can tell it's going to be a year long struggle.
I am literally going through the same thing right now with 7th grade. I have ONE class that is absolutely bat-shit. They put ALL the kids with behavior concerns in this one class so it’s literally just a shit-show for most of the hour.
I’m a 26 year veteran, but it never hurts to have a refresher. We have a wild group of 8th graders this year. My principal already came in and talked to my homeroom because they’ve apparently been causing chaos up and down the hallway. I’m trying to use these techniques. I hope I don’t need anything more!
My experience says that saying the "Give me just 20 more secs." is a real concession that is a sort of vanguard to losing more of that student gradually.
Thank you for mentioning the part about emailing the parent and Bcc all the stakeholders. This is written documentation that can be saved. A phone call without an email follow up can lead to miscommunication. Make sure that your tone in both cases are clear and compassionate.
Facts! I love that an email stops things from being lost in translation as well. Emails allow parents to let things sink in and to read something and digest it at their own pace.
@@CJReynolds You’re exactly right. I also make sure that the students receive a copy of the email as well.
Never about punishing; it’s about their success. In other words, turn every negative into a positive.
I’m entering my teaching program in a few weeks for English… your content on classroom management is great man.
I appreciate that you include the student in the email. I do that so they have full knowledge of what I told their parents. It helps.
Your content is so goldd. Power struggles are big in my school, i wish staff would watch your videos
Thank you so much! Feel free to share the videos if you think they’d help. There’s ever anything else I can do. Please let me know.✌🏽
Thank you. I love your videos. ❤ I tell students that we need a good dynamic at every table in order to have a successful class and that has worked so well because it doesn’t leave room for an argument and it depersonalizes the situation so kids don’t feel targeted. Keep posting videos like this!
My problem is not one student but 12 out of 34 (that's another problem, all 7 of my classes are filled to capacity). In each class, some worse than others, I have as many as 12 students who refuse to do work, and will talk and be disruptive the whole time. These are students that are getting Fs and Ds across the board in all classes and nothing is done about them by admin. Their whole goal of coming to my class is to see their friends. They literally don't want to hear me speak and have tuned me out. Calling parents had little effect on these kids as many of the parents don't know what to do with them either. I'm honestly at a loss in my career because this is far from my first year teaching. I thought it would get better by year 5.
His sense of humor thrown in once in a while helps keeps my focus on the video. It makes me see the value and having a some sense of humor while teaching.
Hey Brian! Thanks for the kind words. Have a great Friday!
I teach adults. I'm going to try some of these though since several of my students act like children anyway.
I love this video. It's so true that students respond so much better to positivity
Loved this! Thank you
This video could not have come at a more perfect time. Thank you so much for this!
Hi Amanda! So glad to hear it. Let me know if you have any questions ❤️
'Your attention affects or retention"...facts and will repeat this for them.
I'm new to this channel, but I have found many good tips that have helped me a lot. Thank you! I hope I can apply some of these techniques soon.
Thank you thank you thank you, so refreshing...
Oh this is so helpful!! I have a few classes that I will be using these techniques with. Thank you!!
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
I'm a Deaf teacher, teaching hearing (elementary) kiddos (parents are encouraged to join and learn too, so the kids have someone to practice with) but ALL of the techniques these kids know are AUDIO (the school uses: teacher claps 2x, kids respond clapping back 3x, or little verbal phrases) ... looking for Deaf-friendly skillsets for teaching hearing kids. Using the sign for PAY ATTENTION (silently) catches on, and the kids start doing it too, so it spreads like wildfire.... but 20x in the course of an hour or so... slows EVERYTHING down. 🐌 Typically teaching Deaf kids involves a lot of foot stomping and flashing room lights to get everyone's attention, but those aren't options here - as I use a power chair now and can't touch the floor, and light switches are on another end of the room.
I'm a volunteer, so this isn't 8 hours a day, 5 days a week... and while I was a teacher's aide in a Deaf classroom in the 90s, Deaf kids have a very different type of attention span - and the impending doom of eye fatigue if we pay attention to one thing for too long, as our eyes tend to be taking everything in at once and filtering what's important becomes exhausting. Rewiring hearing kids to hear with their eyes instead of their ears is easy - I shut off my voice, they lean in further to grasp my point ... but it doesn't last long.
As a mom with ADHD who raised a hearing kid with ADHD I keep saying "I should know this!" ... but all my skills seem to have met their match this year. I used to have babies and toddlers and kindergarteners mixed in, and for whatever reason, that was a breeze compared to 2nd-6th graders.
Could really use some insights into non-audio clues. Flashing lights (assuming none of the kids have seizure disorders, of course), and physical tools like a small ball or dice makes it harder to sign without empty hands. These are awesome kids, happy to be there, but easily become chatterboxes.... and encouraging them to only have side conversations if they use their hands/body language turns into a goofy spider-dancing fit if they don't know the sign for something and have to find another way to communicate their thought. It gives them a creative outlet, but harder to reign them back in and back on task.
Input? Anyone?
Tools I already use:
1- 30 second dance breaks (shake the energy out, literally)
2- The usual seat-switches, pulling more actively head-bobbing kids closer - which backfires if I turn my voice off because their eyes/ears ALL gravitate toward bigger movements
3- switch gears and ask them to ask each other questions - focus redirect
4- fingerspelling speed run challenges ("who can spell ___ the fastest?")
Great advice which I'm going to use.
Winning!
I am blessed to be in a classroom with a PA system with overhead speakers. If kids are talking while I am giving a lesson, I'll ask a question and then call on the main talkaholic student and ask for the answer. I don't repeat the question. I just say "Aaron WHATS THE ANSWER"? When I get the huh and lost, dumb look because the student wasn't paying attention and has no answer. I'll ask the class "can anyone "throw a clue at Aaron about what's going on". That usually gets a laugh from the talker and classmates That usually shuts down all conversations in the room. They hate being called on without warning and soon realize talking while I'm teaching is making them a target. Another thing that works great is to pull a chair up next to the student, sit down and continue the lesson. I take my microphone with me when I do it. The talkers now have the entire class looking at them as I continue teaching. next to them. They don't like that either. In a worst case scenario I'll call home, explain the situation to the parent asking if they could speak to their child...and say "he's right here". I'll then cover the mouthpiece with my hand, pick up my microphone and say "Aaron, your mother would like to speak with you" and hold the phone up. I then slide the sound-volume of the head set all the way up on the phone, the class will become absolutely silent because they want to hear/see what will happen. It usually goes down something like this " but momma that man be trippin" as he squirms, tries to make himself as small as possible, and holds the phone away from his ear due to all the screaming on the other end. That usually takes care of the problem. The kids take it well. My last victim, after handing the phone back to me shook his head in the affirmative, smiled at me and said, "well played Mr. S." and went back to his seat. The kids often appreciate a creative smackdown.
Omg . Do your students like you ?
Reynolds, I really enjoy your videos and it has helped me with many circumstances in my classroom. Having said that I feel like most teachers in your average classroom aren't dealing with just one or two talkative students and really have trouble creating just a basic level of teacher-student respect in your classroom and establishing norms. I honestly don't know if anyone has advice for these situations
Also, thank you so much for your tips. Your advice is so real and practical and usable. Appreciate all of your advice!
Yep in one of my classes, about 70 % of them are talkative and find it hard to stay engaged/ listen to instructions
Hello and good morning 🌞
I enjoyed watching your video
You are so amazing 😻
Love your channel
Hi Lashon! thanks so much. I really appreciate the kind words.
Needed this today 😂
When I wait - they get it together real quick - maybe I do have a scary face lol
i just became a teacher and feels like the biggest mistake ive ever made. i teach middle school.
I get that. I'm on week 2 of teaching middle school and it seems like nothing I do seems to work
Are you focusing on being authoritative? That used to be my biggest mistake at the start of the year. I wanted them to see how tough I was and that I was in control. But I'm not that kind of person at all and they saw it. Now I focus on my relationship with the kids, I make sure I know something about most of them as quickly as possible, great them at the door and make sure they feel seen and my classroom management has been so much better. The advice in this video only works when the relationship with your students is decent. Oh, and also, don't take it personally and don't lose your cool. They feed off of your response, so stay calm and if one thing doesn't work, try something else. But relationship first and foremost. Good luck
Listen. First year is always the worst. Work hard and pray hard. Surround yourself with teachers that will encourage you and also give you practical advice! You will make it.
5th year teacher here. FIRST YEAR IS ALWAYS YOUR WORST. Also junior high is a zoo. Don’t take things personally and remember kids are getting hit with hormones and are learning to control themselves.
MOST of the time kids aren’t trying to be disrespectful but are self absorbed. We all were.
You have to have ENERGY and demonstrate that presence in middle school. I went from junior high to high school. It’s much better
It’s my first year, too, except for time (during covid lol) in a tiny private school. I have a best-possible scenario and I’m still sad 😢
My standing expectantly in silence works every time. 25 yr veteran.
Hey Ron! I’ve absolutely seen at work for some teachers on the other hand have seen some teachers stand in front of students for what feels like a whole period With no response. It always amazes me how many different ways there are to do this work.
@@CJReynolds That feels like a teacher on a power trip haha
Lucky for you. I tried, it didn’t work for me. Just like in the video, students continue talking while I staring at them, waiting, and waiting, and waiting… and someone is still talking😢
It didn't work for me at first. But combining it with a policy of "whatever assignments we don't finish will become homework, so you're wasting your own time." After a few weeks of following through and being consistent, they have started policing themselves.
4:05 Yeah... I've tried it and some of my kids do count😂
I work at a school where most of the parents do not provide an email for the school. In fact, most of the parents of the difficult kids don't answer their phones and have no voicemail set up for me to leave a message. How do you handle this situation?
Shoutout to all my kevins in class-
I also liked to stack.
I’ve followed you for a bit. I like your content . But Vygotsky’s Zone Of Proximal Development is about learning not physical space.
This was brilliant. I tried this new strategy saying to a disruptive student "Cody, can I have your attention for just 3 more mins". I even got an apology from this kid and he starting focusing. I tried it on another student and she apologised too, however, it didn't quite work so well for her because she continued talking, even though I had just asked her to focus. In general, I found this doesn't challenge the student and you get a better response from them. Now I'm going to watch your video 'How to Stop Students From Interrupting Your Lessons', because I get these random questions and students want to interrupt me while I'm speaking and trying to explain something.
Can you recommend a book about Fred Rogers?
I'm Proud of You: My Friendship with Fred Rogers a.co/d/1mpTEH8
What if the student is talkative BUT it is more of them dominating the classroom discussion? Or that they have a response to EVERYTHING you say...I need guidance on this situation.
Hi, maybe late. But you can try working with fingers. When he/she says something you can just ignore it and pick someone else that did put up their finger. And if the named student does put up his finger u can choose h im/her and give praise for doing so. Hope this helps!
The weird part is that my students would respond with “But I don’t want to win, I just want to sit where I’m sitting now!” 😞
Anyone here as an adult to see if these suggestions would have worked on them?
Your topic is important and interesting
But please speak slowly to help us as Arab teachers to benefit from your experience
Thanks
Hello there! I will do my best. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.😊
great
These are good but man…it’s exhausting to think about putting it all together when you need to use these tips. When I am frustrated, my brain isn’t functioning like it would need to be. ADD and teaching is a rough combination.
That’s the truth. One of the best pieces of advice I’ve heard recently is that a prepared man/woman is better than “a prepared message.” For me this has meant spending time filling myself up with things that I love. It helps me step into class feeling 100%. I’d rather teach a lesson plan that’s a 6/10 when I’m a 10/10 than the opposite. ✌🏽
I have the same problem... it's very difficult in the moment. I've watched a lot of these videos, and honestly I'm happy when I implemented them correctly a few times a week. Hopefully it'll get easier as I do it more, but I'm a long way off. It does help me have empathy for my ADHD students.
if a teacher stops a student from taking, he is not a good listener for that matter good teacher. it should be tried with providing knowledge and captivating him with your engaging talk so that he stops talking and starts listening
Toxic student
Wow this is a disturbing title to a video. Maybe let them be inquisitive
In the video I discuss just that. ☺️
