How to deal with disruptive behavior in class
First example:
Cell phones ringing in a classroom,
text messaging, chatting online.
If in a classroom I notice phones
ringing or students sending messages to people
or chatting ;First, I would make a big poster with a big picture showing that
cellphones are not allowed in class and
paste this poster on a visible wall ;so
that ,they will notice that I have heard those phones ringings and also that I
have seen them using the phone to chat or send text messages . After this , If
I still see them using the phone I would tell them to turn it off and put it on
their bags .But , if phones are still
ringing ;I mean, They don’t turn it off ,I would simplily seize the phones and don’t
give their phones back until one of the parents come to talk with me about the
issue.
Second
Example:
The student who talks incessantly
while you are delivering a lecture.
If in a classroom I find a student or a
group of students talking about
things out of the topic at the moment I read, explain something or talk with someone;First,
I would make a noise with the board, the table or something strong to make them realize that I don’t want
to hear them talking but if after this I still hear them talking , I would
interrupt my lecture to call them by their full names and tell them directly
that I don’t want to hear them talking again . But As many of us already know, children are really
disobedient and I know that they wont stop easily ;so, the third thing I would
do is to separate that group of people talking ;I mean , to change their
places. In the last of the cases I would call their parents to talk about the
issue.
Hi Karen
ResponderEliminarI guess you are right and believe it or not calling parents in case of children's classes works quite well, but what about adult classes??
Katya
i agree with katya but in case of adult is not that comun but when that happen maybe is because they feel like they dont want tobe tech by a younger student maybe that is one of the most comun factors ¡¡¡
