New teacher tips for classroom management can reduce stress!
Classroom management causes many teachers (both new to the profession and veterans) frustration and stress. Classroom management strategies are difficult to discuss because there are so many variables. From the geographic location to the school's climate and attitude about classroom management, it can take a teacher years to perfect a single strategy. Let's be honest; if there were one perfect strategy, everyone would already be using it. Instead, it is up to the individual teacher to decide which techniques work best for him or her. In this vlog by The Teacher's Playbook, you will learn one classroom management strategy I have been using for years in my upper elementary classroom. I hope this helps you develop a system that works for you. What is the classroom management secret? It's all about positive peer pressure. Using varying forms of praise, I can create a classroom environment where students feel safe and included.
Once students feel safe, included, and valued, they want their peers to behave appropriately, so the respectful tone of the classroom is maintained. Watch the video to find out more.
Hello Teachers! My name is Melanie Howell, and I have been a classroom teacher for more than 20 years. The majority of my teaching years have been in fifth grade. I love getting up and going to school because no two days are ever the same. I love pouring myself into the lives of my students, AND I love learning something new every day. Teaching allows me to be a servant and a leader. It is all about making a difference in the life of a child.

I'm all for positive peer pressure. I find complimenting positive behavior always helps to promote better behavior in everyone.
If we understand that positive peer pressure can work with us, why not use it for the greater good? Thank you so much for your comment!

This is one of my secrets when dealing with teen groups working in probation jails for years
You are very emotional teacher. I can tell that you love teaching. Your students are lucky to have you to be their teacher.
I think what she says is genius. The popular kid is most often the rebellious one and the voice of dissension. Not the people pleaser or the compliant. If you can divert his or her personality strengths to helping or managing the little ones (or whoever) in a constructive way then JOB DONE! And seriously no need to apologise. It’s just psychology and positive at that, what else you going to be spending your day saying , “NO, don’t do that” etc etc. How constructive is that? xxx
Yes! This is exactly what must be done in a society that has so much hate. My heart aches for these children of this generation. We have to help them to learn to love one another ❤
That's right
What a true first statement! Teacher of 15 years...going into my third year in first grade.
I have used that strategy you mentioned with the popular kid and it has really helped. Actually, this popular kid used to be very rude to me and his peers, but with the strategy , he changed and now he follows all my instructions and really trusts me.
Hey Melanie, your advice is right on target and your comments at the end show what real teachers care about!!🎉❤
I'm just starting my journey as a student in the teaching field. I'm learning so much!!! Thanks for this video.
I wish I could have been a student teacher in your classroom. Your advice was amazing and it's really helped me along my journey :) thank you
Thank you for the classroom management advice, there's some in the Sub teacher's Frontline but it's very true like it or not I've had to discover the student who controls the class since every other kids follows him even to interrupt my permanent sub class.
Giving classroom jobs, building rapports, DoJo points all work. Building rapport with pupils is v important! How are you today? I like the way you did that work, that was very tidy, John! Being specific about the praise! Engaging lessons, projects on an area they are interested in e.g. superheroes, tractors, dolls, movies … whatever they are interested in!
This is so essential even for School Counselors and it is often not a part of our program components.
I’m a primary school class monitor who has problems with the class being noisy, thankfully this video helped 👍
I would totally enjoy having you as my teacher! Thanks for the classroom management tips!
I needed this reminder today ! Thank you!
Yes I came on for the worst-case scenario version and you gave some sound advice thank you
Fantastic Advice. Thank you.
I'm starting as a new teacher next week and am in full panic mode... I feel like I'm enough like them to get along with the goofy humor and memes, but also experienced in restaurant work to know when they're slacking off and need some re-direction...This is the first video I've seen by you and am definitely subscribing and watching more. I appreciate you taking your time to make this video (and others!) for total newbies like me. ^__^
How has it been? Have you adjusted any of your teaching techniques? What works absolutely well?
Best video i came across. Thank you! really!
I subbed for a history class and decided to bring an artifact from World War II. I told the class if they were good then I would show them the item from WWII. Overall they did great but when it came to show them the WWII item the whole class was quite when I was talking about it. You could hear a pin drop. This experience taught me that kids will pay attention when they find something interesting.
You are totally right. I do that, too, and it is amazing when kids feel they are loved they change their behavior ❤
Just came across your page-thanks for the sound advice 😊 since I recently started subbing in high school I know it will come in handy.
I found this video really useful - thank you so much
your tips are great! I appreciate them!
Excellent tip. No hate for popular kid strategy. Infact i am including it in my strategies.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm about to become a teacher in 8th grade science, for the first time teaching public school. Should be a blast!
Thank you for this video!
This was great tip. Thank you so much. I wish you can share more such things without worrying about others opinions
Interesting and helpful. Your advice is is echoed in the Arizona NES Certification Guide. I really didn't quite buy in to your last strategy (managing the difficult child) until I saw/heard you explain it. I'll certainly keep it in my pocket. I've taken a similar approach with Sunday School kids but I never really thought about the public classroom. I am transitioning into the teacher world (Secondary). All the years of teaching Sunday School really got me hooked. Thank you for your service, and the video. Your videos may become a part of my training :)
Thank you, Michael, for taking the time to comment. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
I appreciate your advice!
Beautiful video!!! We Love your Cross in the background! We can see where your Inspiration comes from!!!
This is the first thing that came up in my searchs. I am looking to teach adults, but im sure the same principals apply.
Looking back at my child hood, I would have to agree with this.
Thanks for sharing your ideas ❤
Thank you, really appreciate your advises.
not for long
Thank you , for better advise in classroom management watching from Philippines
Complementing the popular kid for being on task is maniacally genius
im leaking it so they know what there trying to do
I'm inspired
Thanks ma'am ❤😭
Yup. I agree.
Wow! I am trying out few ...really
Thank you
This works 💯!👏
This makes perfect sense. We have to have the engagement of the child at the top of the hierarchy in order for the natural order to filter down. Sever that relationship and you’re no longer at the top of the hierarchy and are instead fighting for dominance.
I appreciate you taking the time to comment on the video. Thanks!!
Preach! You nailed it. This is the video I needed today!
Thank you! It is nice to know somebody out there is like-minded. :-)
this is a video i need to leak to kids
Thanks for this video. It's so spot on with what we are working on in our classroom this year .......Blessings.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. It is good to know there are other educators who are like-minded.
Saved! I am having a very hard year with behavior. Thank you for posting!
Thank you for taking the time to comment! Summer is just around the corner. :-)
I find it very helpful, kind regards from Guatemala, C.A., new teacher here ;)
It is inspiring for me to get comments from people in places so far from my home. I am sure Guatemala, C.A. is special to you, and I hope your teaching career is everything you hoped it would be. No one gets into teaching because they think it will be easy; instead, we do it to make a difference. If all teachers can make a difference in their own little corner of the world, teachers can change the world.
Current grad student here, aspiring middle school teacher. Thank you for this advice🤗 so helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Teaching is never easy, but it is far easier to work on engaging lesson plans than it is to deal with 30+ kids who aren't engaged by what is on offer in the classroom. Great teachers are usually pretty average when it comes to behavior management strategies because they hardly ever need them.
Agreed! Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Depends from school to school. I’m honestly seeing more and more schools these days being ran by the students instead of by the grownups
@@milzmusician The one thing I have always been certain of in teaching is that a staffroom full of university graduates should not be outsmarted by teenagers. When that happens you know something has gone horribly wrong. Sometimes that happens when the teachers with the greatest power in the school pander to the students and parents and force others to do likewise.
You're amazing thanks a lot
hello to everybody! my name is Quintas from Angola.. thank you so much for the video teacher.. that was really helpful.. May God bless all of you
thanks madam it's insightful i love the tips you mentioned. I will try on Monday.
This is so helpful thanks
Teach a love of learning as best you can. Make them want to come to class every day!! If only we had a special ed teacher to go to for resources at our private school 😳
Thank you for taking the time to comment! Private schools are not required to hire any particular /specialized type of teacher. I ope that helps answer your question. :-)
you are amazing!
Thanks for the video. I am a tech professional reinventing myself to be a kids coding educator. One of my students seemed to have trouble focusing on the task assigned to him. He would try to open up his minecraft game during class all the times instead of doing the coding task. All our kids find the task meaningful and have jo problem getting into it, theres only this one kid who seems to be addicted with minecraft game, he is a good kid but just cant seem to focus on the assignment
Absolutely nailed it. 👏 It's obvious you get it. The popular kid thing is not really unfairly "pumping them up" like some mentioned. It's working the power dynamic in a nuanced and complex way. You're not saying to give artificial praise, but to win the allies you will need in the bigger picture. The popular kids will use their social capital one way or the other, or maybe not at all. Isn't it better to make sure they use that social capital in maintaining a positive environment and having allies in building a classroom culture. Yes.
This video makes me want to become a greater teacher, thank you so much.
I tried targeting the popular one. But this strategy worked for few months only. Later that kid started feeling attachment towards me and rest of the students started ignoring me and I think they hate me alot now.I am gonna follow a new strategy that is ....>Be serious in the class don't laugh when students want you to do so. Don't scold anyone just gaze them if they are doing something wrong. Say it in a very calm mood "Oh my kid you should not do it"..Perhaps it will work
Starting a part time teaching job with an after school science program today. The vast majority of my children will be at risk and/or have behavioral issues. This gave me a lot of confidence in my first day. Thank you!
hello did you manage to master classroom behavior i you can please assist with some tips
@@loice8449 we haven't been in school since they all shut down, so I only got one day with each class. Overall, you've gotta be confident and keep their attention. A lot of them had hard home lives, so making a personal connection with the kids definitely helped the day go by smoother for all of us. Getting to know them as individuals gives you a leg up, for sure.
Thanks ❤
Nice ideas
Thank you for this rant, so helpful and useful really
I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thank you!
@@TeachersPlaybook I am a Dentist by trade homeschooling four kids this year, ages 13,12,11, and 10. I always used to say I wish I was a teacher first so I knew these tips and tricks so I can help my children. Thank you for this video, I wish I knew more how to help my kids. Especially when they feel frustrated w material or don’t like reading or put each other down, or can’t focus. I totally have all these on a daily basis and desperate for help and knowledge and even how to talk properly when raising or teaching kids. So this was such a wonderful video to watch and I am so thirsty for more. Thank you again 🤲🏻
I am a teacher but I wanna be your student now. I love your words very inspiring
im leaking this mr jade won't be for long
That's been very useful, thanks a million :)
Thanks for commenting. I hope you have a great school year!
not until its leaked to the kids
what a loving lady
4:30 The term you're looking for is "positive reinforcement". Students are much more willing to work towards praise or an award vs working because if they don't, they'll get in trouble~
Ur voice is angelic 😍
Thank you , mom, it is fascinating lesson
Thank you! 😃
I have an interview tomorrow and this was so helpful. New subscriber!
I have one today! How did it go?
Thank you for the video but this is very idealistic.
Excellent tips Master teacher Melany, thanks a lot for sharing! Greetings from Peru.
Thanks!! WOW, Peru! I am sure it is beautiful there, and you are a Master of the teaching craft.
Usually these type of kids show this type of behaviour because their parents are either abusive to their child or too busy with themselves rather then noticing their child needs their attention. So they usually use school to their advantage to gain what they dont hv...thats control! Through bullying or attention seeking.
Wow! Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate your insights.
It takes more than engaging lessons. Some kids have other things going on inside of them that prevent them from focussing.
you are right
Thank you for taking the time to comment! Wishing you a great end of the year. :-)
This was 5 years ago when 5% are identified or about to be. This year I’ve got 17 out of 33 with IEP’s and 504’s and most are repeaters of 9th grade. Management nightmare where if I get can most of them to be asleep I can get a little teaching done.
I have never been in a situation where I had 17 out of 33 who needed outside academic support. Wow! I wish you the best of luck in 2024 and beyond.
What I learned in one week is basically for force them to write down. Tell them "Ok kids, open the notes and write...." while they write and struggle to keep up they become quiet. The trick is to keep doing this while teaching them for 45 minutes.....
thanx mam! i just teach because i have no other choice! if there is other job available i would not teach
I am SO sorry you feel you have no choices. I hope you can find a colleague at your school who is an encourager and can help you.
dont think u have to be politacally correct, i think ur tip is spot on
What's the best book you've read in 3rd grade?
I thinking I agree
It doesn't sound terrible, it sounds like Answer to My Prayers to The Good Lord, when I asked Him,Lord, How do I get my students to do what I have prepared for them to do.. especially after reading this in my Tefl certification course subject called Classroom Management. God bless you ma'am. And I'm here to learn. I praise The Lord for this teaching.
No one should send any negative issue, on the contrary it usually works!
Thank you for taking the time to comment!!
To be honest, to become an effective teacher you need to be patient in order to management all different characters.i think that's where to start with.
I'm an instructional assistant. Literally 1/3 of our students in our class have behavioral issues. Every day is a struggle, it seems. And I end up feeling defeated. Need some encouragement or ideas. We have tried everything in the book it seems.
It is tough to find the balance between the two sides of this coin: 1. the kid pushing your limits the most is probably the one you need to invest the most time in, and 2. you cannot save everyone. One place I could always go for help is the SPED teachers. Describe the behavior to them, and they will be able to give you some concrete strategies. I think SPED teachers get more training in how to figure out what is the root cause of the behavior. Good luck!!
Why is your classmates so good
Good question. I think they are so good for a number of reasons. High expectations and a positive classroom environment is the foundation of classroom management. Plus, I never sit when students are in the room. :-)
ADHD is so hard!!
I hate that the school system has conditioned the teachers to try to label small children who are in the social and emotional development stage in their life. Give them a diagnosis and drugs to make the teachers life easier 🤨 often the advanced bored kids get the crap end of the stick and it’s sad
From country to another it’s different
Hello,
I am a teacher in France with children from 9 to 10 years old. I have 5 students who insult, fight and nothing change. The behavioral systems of dojo style do not work. They do not work any more. In addition it makes me tired of always putting points as if I gave a dog some sugars when he did a few things well.
I want the insults and the fights to stop. I tried the meditation except that the 5 difficult students scream, sing, ....
Do you have any ideas ?
I have found that asking a special education teacher for ideas is a great place to start. They often have strategies to manage behavior that I have not considered. Another approach is to consult your school counselor. Ask him or her to come in and observe the student behavior in your class. This could lead to some new ideas, and you might find out that a few of the children have had this problem in previous school years. Students who are "chronic offenders" get a private talk in the hall with me about behavior expectations. My final suggestion is my last resort. I let the entire class know that I am paid to teach, and anyone who prevents me from doing my job will be removed from the room. Only do this if you are willing to follow through with the threat. Give admin the heads up about the situation. I have found that I only have to have a student removed once. The others will discover that they do not really want to be in trouble and behave in a much more respectful way. I wish you the best of luck.
How a language teavher make her lecture interesting.n what about class control.i vnt class hold .from Pakistan urdu language teacher
Johnny's got his book open and he's on pg 75 who else is ready?
Thanks for the information I may not be teacher I am Russian spy not a college student either actually I in third grade
Good luck in the spy business. Read the Alex Rider book series to read about a kid spy.
Madam what do you mean by kids ? Age group ?is this theories valid to students of teenage too ?
My students are between 10 and 13 years old. With older teens, I believe that the teacher has to make a special effort to get to know the most difficult kids to teach. Only when you really get to know them can you win their respect. Once you have their respect, they will trust you enough to learn from you. Good luck!
you are soo cute!
I'm a Paraprofessional and my Third Graders are out of control. I need help LOL
What does your lead teacher think about the situation?
@@TeachersPlaybook I am under the Principal. It's a small charter school. One of my main jobs during the day is Cafeteria supervision but because of construction we are stuck in a spare classroom for lunch and the noise level is disturbing other classes and keeping the kids at an appropriate noise level is what I am struggling to do. My Principal has now told me to assign seats.
@@rachelmoogle4421 That sounds like a great place to start! The next step might be to ask the classroom teachers for some support. I guess all of the kids are six feet apart, so it is even more tempting to talk loudly to their friends?? I wish you the best of luck!! :-) Thanks for taking the time to comment!!
Do you have a classroom management for 1st grade.
Thank you for your question! I have never taught first grade myself. However, the first-grade teachers I have observed over the years have always said: No matter what you use to motivate students when it comes to classroom management, consistency is the key. Young students want to see you being consistent with the "rules" because that is how they define fair. If you have not already, check out the channel One Fab Teacher. She is a first-grade teacher, and her "How to teach procedures" videos are excellent. Good luck!!
It doesn't matter what I do, students are rude, disrespectful and defiant. It would not matter how engaging my lesson is, the students come to school with the intention to do nothing with nothing; no books, laptops, not even a pen.
I do not doubt for a minute that is true. I realize that I am fortunate to teach at a school where most families are very supportive and value education. I wish you the very best as you try and figure out what works best for you.
@@TeachersPlaybook thank you. x
I have a question mam, I'm Filipino and teacher in private school... I have a question, it's really hard to control the behavior of my students but my other section is okay Naman po. I have a chance to improve my teaching skills?
My best advice is to let the students know what your expectations are, and then be consistent and fair. If you are having trouble with a particular group, maybe you could ask last year's teacher how he/she handled it? Ask teachers in your building for some practical tips. Praise students who are behaving in an appropriate way.

Sounds stressful
