How I teach: Now and like... a week ago

Wednesday. 12.1.10 5:19 am

So, I got this new book from my mom called "Setting limits in the classroom" I opened it up to a random page, read it and thought, "Oh! So that's why my life has been so much easier lately."

What I use to do:

Disruption occurs
I explain why the disruption is a disruption
disruption continues
I yell
They all yell at each other
More yelling happens
The class ends

What I do now:

Disruption occurs
I take away a star
They object
I give them two options
They object again
I move on with my lesson
They do what I asked them to do in the first place.

Oh, and the classic:

"Can I go to the bathroom?"
"Read rule number 10 for me."
"Do not go to the- AWWW!!!!"

Nice, hunh? I guess the book calls what I did before "Classroom dances" and it sure felt like it. Explaining and elaborating and explaining until my throat was sore and I got the vague impressing of talking to a wall or being a trained monkey, I couldn't quite figure out with. Now? Well, you have five seconds to do what I want you to or else. Life is a lot easier now.
