•Consider calling yourself a guest teacher. •When addressing a serious behavior issue with a child speak to them privately at the front of the room after giving the rest of the class an assignment. •Instead of having the students read you read to them. Stop occasionally to see if they are with you. •Watch how you speak to the students.
Substitute Self Preservation
When I gave my speech on what was expected, I gave it like a Drill Sergeant. I even had kids ask me if I had been in the service. Then later, when they were well behaved, I would loosen up and have fun with them. I´ve never, ever, had it work when I went in as a loving, giving soul and then tried to get tough when things fell apart.
