i hesitate to use, school rules for discipline,
on girls in front of the boys and vise versa

Answer 1

At our school, we have ISS. In School Suspension. If a student is disrupting the class, the teacher can call for a hall monitor to escort them to ISS. The teacher writes up a discipline referral to give to the student's administrator. You could assign extra homework to those being disruptive. Pick your battles. Some things aren't worth it...

Answer 2

What is the school discipline system that you're uncomfortable enforcing with the girls? Does it incorporate corporal punishment, or something that upsets your personal sensibilities? If so, then you should be equally uncomfortable with this towards the boys, unless you want to openly announce that you have a double-standard of expectations in your class.

My strongest suggestion is to network with other teachers at your school who have had more experience. Trust me, they've all been there before and many will be willing to help you. Just be certain to do the same for the next new teacher.

I can fully understand how you must feel. Talk to the principal and find out what methods are acceptable for disciplining the students. Make sure the whole class understands that order is necessary to the learning process. Their grades are their future and if they act up in class, they arent getting the full impact of what you're teaching. Basically-they behave-they learn more and get better grades. Better grades mean a better future for them. I know that you know this. Get it through to the students and I wish you more than luck.

This is a difficult question to answer because every situation or dynamic is unique, but generally, if you observe your group, there is an apparent leader among the, and the other students follow their lead in causing trouble. So, without appearing to bend over backwards in deference to this student, you must work hard to establish a rapport with this kid. After you've done this, use your association with student "A" to foster the support and cooperation of all other students. This may e somewhat difficult [articularly if there's an apparent language barrier between you al, but this is where a good understanding of body language and basic human dynamics comes into play. (Review their records ahead of classtime to get any insight into dealing with them that may be helpful). ONce you gain their trust, your job as teacher becomes infintely more rewarding. Good luck.

Answer 5

The main thing you must remember is to remain consistent. Don't let the girls get away with things that you wouldn't let the boys get away with, and vise versa. If there is a discipline plan in place for the building, use that. If there is not one, talk with other teachers around you and find out what system they use that works. If none of this works, talk with your principal. He/she should be able to help you out with what is appropriate in this situation. Good luck!

Answer 6

You will gain more control when you give up control... think about how you are conducting your science classes. If you have classes where the kids are DOING inquiry based they are going to be engaged and excited. They will not have time to be discipline problems. If you are in the front of the class lecturing and demonstrating you are BORING and they are going to be BORED!

good luck!

Answer 7

High quality instruction will lead to fewer discipline issues. If your students are interested and know what to expect you will find that fewer students act out.

That said, be sure to find out school policies and talk to your principal about how to deal with problems if they do come up.
