In this video I share 6 classroom management strategies that failed me. It is possible that these did not work for me, but they might work for others. When I attempted these strategies, I was fairly new in my career as a teacher. So this lists tells you which strategies that did not work for me. The video adds what you can do instead, and gives more context to each item on the list. So, click the link to watch the video. I'll wait.
1) Only teach rules and procedures the first 3 weeks- no content. 2) Being a drill sergeant. Not revealing too much about yourself. 3) Let kids pick their seat. (Middle school) 4) If a student acts up, write their name on the board. This would cause the child to yell at me more especially if I spelled their name wrong. (Did I mention I am a terrible speller?) 5) “If they act up, punish the whole class until the guilty confess.” The whole class resented me and I didn’t win them back that year. I once had a whole class of kids yelling at me at once. I think I went into shock because the room slowed down like it feels to be in a car wreck. 6) “When you lend a child a pencil, take their shoe until the return the pencil.). This turned into a “shoes being optional.” My room always smelt like feet.
