Welcome to the profession!\n\nFirst, if your district does not assign mentors for first year teachers, ask your principal to recommend someone in your building that is experienced, friendly, and has excellent classroom management skills. Plan to have regular observations, both him/her observing your room, and you observing theirs, and discussions with them about it.\nSecond, get to know your specialists...ELL teachers, special ed teachers, music/art/PE/library teachers, etc. Be aware of their strengths, and turn to them when planning for and developing instructional strategies for students in your class.\nThird, avoid "clique" participation. Stay open and friendly, as much as you can, with all staff, but stay away from becoming a part of any small sub-group, especially gossipy groups.\nFinally, have detailed plans way ahead of time, and then expect to change those plans daily. Having the overall structure in place ahead of time gives you a scaffold from which to do your daily adjustments.\n\nClassroom management is 90% of the success of your classroom. Set clear, simple rules and consequences, and be firm, inflexible, and fair in implementing those rules and consequences. Plan and practice classroom routine the first couple of days (what do you want your kids to do, step by step, when they need to sharpen a pencil, use the bathroom, get a drink of water, finish their work, etc., etc.).\n\nGood luck!

Right now I am working in a pre-school laboratory at my college.  I have a mentor teacher who is supposed to teach me the aspects of teaching and monitor my work.  The worst thing she does is give unclear instructions then gets upset when I don't produce the desired results.\n\nShe asked me to have a description of my agenda for the day  posted on the parent board.  Then she got upset that I didn't have it formatted in a certain way.  How am I supposed to know that: "have a description," translates into "I want it done exactly like this"?  Sorry, I guess I don't speak Mentor Teacher.  I need someone else to translate for me.

I believe the law says that until you can prove wrong doing, you have to pay the person. They usually put them on paid administration because for some reason or another they don't want the person around just in case the accusation is true. Such as child abuse in the school, if there is any doubt that the adult,(teacher) did it they don't want him/her near the children. Hope this tells you something you wanted to know.

Rule the classroom with an iron glove. Be friendly but not overly friend. Before you start the class make sure you have a lesson plan. If the absent teacher fails to leave one, make them read, or ask them what they did yesterday, or if they have an important test coming up. Just don't be over friendly. They'll eat you.

Make then have a silent time lunch.\nTell the teacher to bring a conduct card to the lunch room.\nAsk the principal to stop by once in a while.\nHave a lunch detention room,but send one at a time.\nHave assigned seats.\n\n\nIf you have one or two rowdy students move them to a table by themselves.\n\nIt is possible that this behavior has never corrected,if so it will take some time to correct it.\nYou have to show them that YOU are  in charge,not them !\nWe are creatures of habit.\nGood luck !

Kids usually get away with stuff like that, unless they accused a teacher.  If it is proven that they falsely accuse a teacher, they will get all kinds of hell from the school, including at least a suspension.

Hi,\n\nSome good responses, my thinking goes very much along the lines of private.online.\n\n- You need to remain calm and be polite, then if the student is rude in return you can say you are treating them respectfully and expect the same. If not, then you see no reason to continue the discussion at that time (eg. they may have to stay in at lunch or after school to continue the discussion - usually this get them to be more agreeable).\n- When something isnt right deal with it, that way eventually students will understand everything has a consequence and they then make the choice of doing the right thing or wrong thing (not you by looking away).\n- Not saying why is a very good point - doesnt matter why they did it, as it was obviously wrong (I often catch myself sometimes half asking why).\n- Talk over incidents with other staff to gauge if the student has issues (and how they handle it - studnets generally ahve a good repore with at least one teacher, so find that person) or just a bad day. If it is issues then by all means approach the parents, and when they say thats not their child you can mention its not isolated to you. But above all, reinforce you are trying to help and stop the behaviour not punish the child.\n- Lastly, make an effort to get to know the child and be positive with them. I had a student who can be a problem and yet he generally behaves becuase I took the time to talk through his issues so he feel I treat him fairly (his words) . Whereas, for some other teachers he lets loose becuase he feels they focus on him not his behaviour so he gives them that behaviour (or in his eyes what they expect based on his perception of how they treat him).\n\nLastly, for me personally I dont confront a student in class or deal with it in front of the whole class - if you do thats the best way to get a stand off. The student doesnt want to lose face and then the last thing they care about is resolving the issue.  Better to take them aside, or move them and deal with it as soon as you can - but if they wont allow this them remove them and when their parents ask why you can say they made the choice to be removed not you, by refusing the other options.

Many public school systems, like the ones in New Jersey, created a No Child Left Behind Act which tries to enforce that all children will learn through modifications - whether that means having a child study team evaluation for an IEP, or having a teacher make modifications within their lesson plans to help a child learn.  \n\nPublic school teachers HAVE to do evaluation assessments on all the students they teach during the school year.  Usually if we see a "problem" (possible learning disability or non-specific LD) we will contact the parents for an initial meeting.  PARENTS NEED TO BE THEIR CHILD'S ADVOCATE and many times must push the school system to evaluate a child and offer assistance.  Assistance may be a one on one aide, involvement in a special education class, large print books, occupational and physical therapies, etc.\n \nI believe that many children slip through the cracks because parent/teacher communication may be weak.  I also believe that it is a teacher's NUMBER ONE priority to ensure the students in his or her class can learn.  Sad to say many teachers become complacent in their careers and are not looking to hard for the children who need help.

This varies wildly from state to state, from county to county, and from school to school.  In the U.S. we have both public (free attendance, supported by tax money) and private schools. \n\nYou should talk to the principal of the school your children are going to attend, as well as their teachers and parents of other students in their classes. Find out if there is a Parent-Teacher organization in the school and get involved.  Talk to other parents in your neighborhood, at the playground and at church to get their impressions of  local schools.\n\nUse sites like http://www.greatschools.net/ to find out more information about schools in your area.

You aren't supposed to teach as a paraprofessional in public schools.  You are supposed to assist the actual classroom teacher in lessons.  Atleast, this is the way it works in NY.

Every school I went to had a slightly different policy. Usually it involved walking quickly, in an orderly fashion, to the nearest exit and the class meeting in a certain spot with the teacher. The teacher then took role to make sure everyone got out.

If the student knows you accept them, regardless of their English fluency, they become comfortable and productive in your classroom.\n\nI work in a very economically underprivileged area (ALL students are on FREE lunch -- not reduced lunch... free), in an elementary school.\n\nMost students are from Spanish-speaking homes, and Mexican culture.\n\nBehaviors I see regularly in my classroom that I "accept" and then gently guide students away from over the school year...\n\nResource hoarding.  I have buckets of supplies, and allow students to hoard as much as they like, until they get used to the idea that they won't "run out." Taking other peoples' supplies is not allowed. The "stolen" item is openly returned by the "thief," who then is guided to practice asking for new materials from me or my EA. It does mean that at the end of the school year, when I pull apart and box things for the summer, I find little stashes of stuff all over the place, which I consolidate back in the buckets for next year....\n\nLack of eye contact with authority figures.  In the Mexican culture, it is disrespectful to look an authority figure in the eye. Once the kids are comfortable with me, we have several class discussions about this and other small differences that make a big difference in how the kids will interact with authority.\n\nAlso, I am the Gifted Enrichment teacher for my school (gifted falls under special education in my state). I work hard with the kids to understand how and why regular ed instruction is done the way it is, and how to challenge themselves and find their own depth of knowledge (while I continually try to "nudge" the regular ed teachers into curriculum compaction and allowance for independent study rather than drill).\n\nWith my Resource remediation students, certain phrases are NOT allowed.  "I can't" is replaced by "I need more time" and/or "I need more help."  Looking at someone else's work and saying "That's easy" is also not allowed... everyone has things that are easy for them and hard for someone else, and vice versa...we don't make someone else feel like they are dumb by criticizing their level of work.\n\nWe build on our strengths. I have several kids with normal or better non-verbal intelligence, who don't even talk in complete sentences because their language disability is so severe. Guess who were in charge of puppet and set design for our puppet show this year.... not as "filler" jobs but actually IN CHARGE. The set and puppets looked wonderful!

Are you talking about classroom management, district policies, or government regulation?

Yes, each group of accounts has different rules or permissions assigned to them, your teachers accounts are probably not as restricted as the normal user accounts that are given to students.
