Consider the following traps<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #808000;\"><strong>Compromising with troublemakers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t compromise with students who constantly make trouble. One sure way to lose respect and be taken for granted is to let students off the hook for causing trouble. Many times we give them the opportunity to win back the recess we took from them or withdraw our commitment to call parents if the student gives us a couple of hours of good behavior.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Compromising with troublemakers is a trap. Students who are known for constant disruption will not stop their negative behavior as long as they know that they can get out of trouble by displaying a few hours of insincere regret.<\/p>\n<p>Also, disruptive students who are constantly let off the hook will begin to disrespect your authority as an effective classroom manager. Others in the classroom will follow their lead. So don\u2019t fall in to this trap. Don\u2019t withdraw your decision to execute the logical consequence which was expected.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers who refuse to compromise with trouble makers will often receive more respect, not only from the students they discipline but also from the entire classroom.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #808000;\"><strong>Inequality in Logical Consequences<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>One thing that will cause more classroom management problems than usual is to display an inequality in applying logical consequences.\u00a0 All students should receive the same consequences for the same behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers who show favoritism to discipline students will lose trust and credibility as an effective classroom manager. For example, if Johnny pushes someone in line and Mary pushes someone in line, then both should receive the same punishment. \u00a0However, if you give Mary a lesser consequence because of her good behavior and because she seldom gets into trouble, then you are mostly likely demonstrating to the classroom a degree of unfairness.<\/p>\n<p>Never play favorites, simply because isn\u2019t good for developing good classroom <a href=\"https:\/\/poweredutoday.com\/keys-global-progressiveness-literacy-intelligence-education\/\">culture<\/a>. Students expect teachers to be fair in applying logical consequences. Otherwise, the student will begin to feel a sense of insecurity.\u00a0 Showing favoritism is the worst thing you can do as an educator.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #808000;\"><strong>A Constant Yelling Display<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As a teacher, participating in an all-day yelling display is a big trap. Such negative vocal activity drains your energy as a teacher and takes away your ability to effectively teach a classroom. When you constantly yell at students, you lose focus on many levels. Then you must force yourself to get back on track, a tiresome feat which wasted time.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, when you find yourself constantly attempting to get students back on track, you are most likely refusing to apply logical consequences to toxic classroom behaviors.\u00a0 The goal of classroom management creates an environment where meaningful learning can occur.\u00a0 Logical consequences are designed to assist in creating such an environment.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t allow students to drag you into an argument. Demand respect on the highest level. Send trouble makers to the reflection room again and again.\u00a0 And don\u2019t hesitate to call parents on a constant basis. Your duty is to teach students who come to school for an education.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #808000;\">Great <a href=\"https:\/\/poweredutoday.com\/middle-school-classroom-drama-controlling-verbal-aggressor\/\">Classroom Management<\/a> Takes Time<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are a new teacher, don\u2019t give up. The children need you. Becoming an effective classroom manager will take time. However, in the end, the sacrifice will pay off. \u00a0Somewhere down the line you will see yourself becoming more skillful in taking control and giving students one of the most important gifts of their lives: An Education<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 268px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many new teachers feel overwhelmed when it comes to classroom management.
