"There are all kinds of hard to handle students. My purpose is to try and find a hook and connect. If you find you are having difficulty with a particular student, perhaps it pays to find a hook and connect. Observe the following:
When is the child quiet and concentrating? What time? What is s/he doing?
Talks can prove to be effective. Tie it into learning. What does that kid like? What is s/he good at?
I am a believer in preventing problems before they happen. This is why I believe observation and the direct and individual process help me minimize classroom management problems.
Here are some other preventive tips:
Be careful how you seat students.
Be consistent and follow up. Make sure you have a plan on how you deal with those students.
Reward good behavior."
Teaching, learning, reading, writing, culture, classroom management, new technologies... anything related to education. Think and Dream in English (plus some Spanish and Catalan).
