Classroom Strategies For Managing Difficult Behaviour

When you're facing really difficult behaviour in the classroom, here are 8 techniques you can use to restore calm and order. From using the power of names, to the art of distraction, and when you really need to send for help - behaviour expert Sue Cowley knows just what to do.

Learning names asap is so vital to your success. Nowadays it is so easy to get photos of your classes. When you are marking students' work take the time to see what they look like before you grade their papers. And YES avoid shining a light on the kid who kicks off - they will not want to lose face in front of their peers. If you can, talk to them outside the room.

I follow your channel for quite a while, I wish I had it as a resource when I started my teaching career. AnywaY just wanted to tell you that when we have noisy and disturbed classes, asking the students to move outside can be far worse. There are students that really don’t have a notion and can climb the school gates and run outside. I had a casa like that a few years ago and it wasn’t easy.

Thank you for these really interesting stategies and techniques I can include when I begin my new post this month.
Former post the Teacher did ask the whole class to leave as you suggested and they did however the child took it to the next level by smashing up the room and cutting himself (Perspex Ruler he snapped) and the Teacher had to then administer First Aid while another member of staff hearing the commotion took the class for an outdoor session.
Not preterbed yet just doing some background research on how to handle 'What if?' situations.
I am in London UK.

Ma'am you have really good strategies in dealing with misbehaviour of students, you have given me renewed faith in myself as a pre-service teacher, thank you so much for your utube videos. Edward Scott in Australia.

I love no 1. I am a new ESL teacher and will be using this tomorrow. I will need to. Plus the other strategies. I have been trying positive reinforcement but with one small and lovely child this didnt work as well as with another.

Your techniques do not only work for children, but for adults, too.

These are very interesting and useful. There are other vides out there by younger teachers who also seem to want to be YouTube stars and I do question how much experience they actually have in the classroom, they don't look much older than twenty-eight. But with these videos they are clearly coming from someone with a wealth of experience. I hope that doesn't sound rude but it is true.

Number 7 is the only tip that actually works

Get the best student to send for fkn help ASAP … RUN!! Emergencia 😂😂😂

[michellecolledge]

I need strategies for uncontrollable high school students. Please.

Tip 6. What happen when students are taller than you?

[samuelwill]

For tip number three, could reminding the student about school policy also means you can refer to class rules? I'm not too familiar with reminding students about school policies.

P.S what if it’s multiple children at once?
