I know it's hurting the kids who need the structure, but when I talked to the other new teachers at my school, they pretty much dismissed the idea that the students want to learn how to behave. <br />Thanks for your posts on classroom management! They are really helpful!Mrs. Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421830917487146856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-74992091222721568412011-01-31T19:19:53.325-06:002011-01-31T19:19:53.325-06:00Mrs. R,

They know they are safe because you are the one who will put their foot down, be firm, and enforce the rules. Students want to be treated fairly and they know that will happen with a teacher who enforces the rules. Teachers who are inconsistent, like me, are usually liked, but in the end, not respected. Even in my second year, I have students who told me things about my class last year that could have been avoided if I wasn't such a big baby and I could just put my foot down. <br /><br />Most students need consistency from us because they aren't getting it anywhere. They test us, yes, but that's because they want us to pass it. They want to know that we will do what we say and that is where I am failing.miss.calcul8https://www.blogger.com/profile/02014623484245570719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-74352131276092337222011-01-31T18:00:36.709-06:002011-01-31T18:00:36.709-06:00As a first-year teacher, I have to tell you, this ...As a first-year teacher, I have to tell you, this book has proven invaluable to me. Classroom management is one of the most difficult things to succeed in as a new teacher, and this book has given me a lot to think about.<br /><br />I have to ask, though, do you agree with Mr. Smith when he says that all students *want* you to teach them how to behave?Mrs. Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421830917487146856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-63883878376890132092011-01-27T16:06:43.959-06:002011-01-27T16:06:43.959-06:00Go for it Kim!

I have an Encouragement board in my room where I post Christmas cards, thank you cards, picture that students draw me, quotes, etc for my own personal inspiration.<br /><br />I'm currently reading Tools for Teaching by Fred Jones so hopefully we can both find some more inspiration!miss.calcul8https://www.blogger.com/profile/02014623484245570719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-29664467737863983042011-01-20T19:21:10.671-06:002011-01-20T19:21:10.671-06:00This is so great and I want to print it out and ha...This is so great and I want to print it out and hang it from my wall for inspiration!!!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02605584136997017454noreply@blogger.com
