A good classroom management plan helps prevent this chaos from ever happening. It sets clear expectations for behavior and routines, creating an environment where learning can thrive without disruptions.
3, Time: Time is precious, especially in the classroom. Every minute spent wrangling unruly high schoolers is a minute stolen from valuable teaching and learning time. A well-oiled classroom management plan ensures that time is spent where it matters most: on engaging lessons and meaningful interactions with students.
You may not normally think of this when you think about classroom management strategies for high school. But for high school teachers, a well-timed joke or a witty comment can work wonders for defusing tension in the classroom.
Every student deserves to feel safe and welcome in your classroom, regardless of their background or beliefs. Take proactive steps to foster inclusivity and celebrate diversity. Set ground rules against bullying and discrimination, and lead by example in treating everyone with respect and empathy.
While building a positive classroom environment may take some time, starting out with these clear ground rules will help students to know that you are interested in making sure it is a positive learning environment for everyone.
High school classrooms can be a daunting place for students. By greeting students at the door with a smile, they will feel welcome and your smile may ease any tension or anxiety they have about coming in. If students feel that you are in a good mood, they are more likely to relax which will allow their brains to learn.
Even though I left this til last, it is actually one of the best classroom management strategies and also the least disruptive. A stern look, a raised eyebrow, a slight shake of the head or a simple gesture can get a student to change their behavior in an instant without ruining the flow of the lesson.
The last week of TESOL was spent working on a final cumulative project, studying for the final exam and finalizing placements. The majority of us have an agent that works as a middle man between the teachers and the school and a good chunk of us are represented by Media Kids, the biggest agent in Thailand. We had an orientation that lasted a day and a half with a certificate at the end to officially welcome us to the Media Kids family.
For all these reasons, School of Rock strikes a particular chord with those of us who spent our school days drumming on our desks and doodling in the margins. After nearly twenty years, we still come back to this movie because Dewey Finn feels like a teacher we all wish we had as we waited for the bell to ring so that we could get on with whatever creative endeavor fueled us. And so, as we roll tonight, to the guitar bite, we can send a thank you to every Jack Black-esque teacher that shaped us on our journeys to find ourselves, embrace our differences, and kick some ass.
I want it to be clear. I am a good educator, and there is almost nothing than I value more in this world than my relationships with my kids. It has been a privilege and a gift to be able to see them develop as young people, and I could not be prouder of the fact that my respect and love for them was readily apparent to each and every one of them.
Noble needs a Union because teachers need to feel respected, valued and trusted in the work that they do. Leadership and education are collaborative endeavors, and they require trust and respect on each side. The policies that Noble enforces on its staff, students, and communities are not equitable because they do not represent the voices of those populations in a meaningful, substantive, or concrete way. Noble designed and implemented a payscale without transparency or formal outlets for staff input, and as a result it does not adequately account for teacher experience or equally recognize the work of our paras, facilities workers, office staff, or culture team. My experience, though potentially an outlier because of credentials, is surely not an anomaly in the dismissive manner which Noble treats much of its staff and their service to our kids. Noble constantly demands that teachers are to trust their administrators, yet they fail to show us that trust in return. A union would allow teacher and staff voices to be heard, teacher autonomy to be respected, and teacher expertise to be valued. Without those things, your network will continue to be a revolving door for educators and the students will suffer the most for it.
I left Noble because I want my students to see that you should never accept a situation that undermines your value or questions your worth. I have no doubt that you all will go on to do brilliant things in this world. Never settle for less than you deserve.
In May of 2013, I joined the family that was Hansberry College Prep. We had four copiers, projectors in every classroom, and unlimited colored paper. A still-growing campus, I chose the most beautiful classroom in the school with an entire wall of windows facing 87th street, and I was given money to turn it into a college prep chemistry lab. No longer would I need to boil cabbage to create a bootleg pH test, and labs could use materials beyond baking soda and vinegar. When my teaching past included nightly trips to Kinkos for copies and a requirement that I supply students and myself toilet paper, I had arrived in teacher heaven.
I stayed as long as I did because I found the fight within my classroom to deliver the best chemistry education possible just as important as the fight within the network to give educators the collective power of a union. The power to exercise our collective wisdom without fear would have the ability to transform not only schools but our network, the city of Chicago, and the national dialogue surrounding education. Our kids are counting on their teachers, including myself from afar, to continue this fight.
During my first year, I taught my class every day and shared the planning responsibilities with another teacher. My class sizes were never more than 30 students. I loved going to work and being challenged and made into a better teacher. I loved how close I grew with my colleagues, many of whom were new to the school. Most of all I loved my students and having an advisory and being a mentor to my boys.
At the end of the year, I was told that because of the budget they could not hire another composition teacher, and my class would be an every other day class. This meant I saw half the freshman class on A days, and the other half on B days. While I was afraid of this new challenge, I felt that I was up to it and planned to make it work.
During my second year, I knew from the first quarter that the year would potentially break my dream to be a career teacher. On the first day of class, one of co-taught classes had 45 students in it. I did not have nearly enough desks or chairs in my classroom for these students. I constantly tripped over students because they had to sit on the floor. I also had no co-teacher for those classes. No matter how much I begged for a teacher to temporarily be switched, or for someone from admin to step in, I was told that because I had two paraprofessionals (both in their first year of residency at Relay, who had no background in composition, and who were supposed to be dedicated to a particular student) in my room, that was satisfactory and I would have to wait for another teacher.
In total, I had 280 students at the start of the year (that number dropped to 260 by the end) and it took me a month and a half to learn their names. I had one sixty minute period to grade for 260+ students, and to plan for my classes.
Even though I had to teach twice as many students in half the amount of time compared to my first year, my bonuses depended on students reaching the same, if not better, growth than campuses who had teachers that taught students every day and with smaller class sizes. I consistently asked for data from other teachers in my position in the network. Although I asked many times for this data from my principal, I never received it. Comparatively, if I ever missed a deadline she set, I would receive a mulligan. While my data was 3 times better than my first year, but that was still no justification and it was never good enough.
I fought for a union because students deserve stability in staff. I want them to be able to graduate college and go back to their old high school, just as I did, to find their Freshman english teacher still working at the school. When I graduated with my M.Ed, I was able to seek advice and materials from my old english teacher, Ms. McBride, at my old high school. I would not be where I am today without her, and I want my students to have that as well.
I fought for a union because teachers deserve to have a voice in the curriculum they teach, in the policies that they enforce, and because we deserve to work in a place that is sustainable and ethical.
I fought for a union, and implore you to fight, because I wanted my students to know that they are more than a test score. I want them to actually learn material instead of just test taking strategies. I want to teach them how to research, write, revise, and publish their own material.
Also In my third year, 9th grade classrooms were maxing out at over 40 students in some cases. It was, understandably, a very challenging school year for 9th grade teachers. We spent an incredible amount of time in our meetings that year discussing ways to manage these immensely overcrowded classrooms when we should have been collaborating on a much higher level of dialogue about serving our students. We asked our principal to sit in our meetings all year long. We wanted to know why we were put in this situation, what could be done to alleviate this disservice to our students, and be assured this would not repeat itself in years to follow. She would not sit down with us as a team, instead urging individuals to make appointments with her. Since that year, more than two thirds of the 9th grade teachers have left.
