I am a long term 7th grade substitute. Yesterday i knew I needed to do something different because I was exhausted and defeated. I had been teaching in a small private school for 8 years and going to seeing 100+ students a day was a big change and my management skills were lacking . I implemented the counting and NOISE strategy today and now, even though I suspected my students we’re not going to care or respond, it was absolutely life-changing. I am being dramatic but it was amazing advice and changed the day. Thank you!!!

I had a terrible class last Friday and I did everything wrong. Can't wait to implement these strategies. My students are incredibly exhausting and one step a way from prison.

Love these ideas. One tip I have used that helps with a student who is trying to challenge me on moving seats or so is to jot a Post-it while I am teaching and lay it down in front of them, saying that they can either move or it will have consequence. No conversation, no battle, and they typically realize I meant it because I am so casually in control and they respond appropriately. I also have fun post-its for this that say "Seriously?, Just Saying, Mental Note, etc". I also have mood notes for students to fill out if they want to let me know how they are doing and high five notes, so its becomes a class culture element.

Tip 9 is the most important for me. Getting into power struggles, using sarcasm or put downs, or yelling has probably never yielded an improved situation for me and has often created further problems. It makes me feel even worse. Also, using a kid’s name when they’re acting up for attention often serves to reward them with the very attention they seek. I’ve heard it said that no word is more beautiful to someone than their own name.

27 years of teaching..this is spot on. Particularly, hallway conversations.

Every college professor should have to watch this as well.

I am a foreign language middle school teacher. In the classroom there is a lot of interaction between the students, especially because they need to practice pronunciation. I definitely will be implementing the NOISE word on the board. I just love it!

Best tips I've ever seen on this topic. No wonder my first year teaching was a nightmare, much better nowadays!

I cannot wait to add the Starbucks Mode to my student's routines (once we return to "normal" school, of course!). What a great idea! Thank you.
