As future teachers, there will be all kinds of students that we will get to know, all of these students are just young kids who are trying to find out who they are and where their place is in the world. All of the students we will have when we are teachers will possess different qualities and experiences that make them unique. Different qualities of the students may include that they come from different backgrounds and cultures, and they have different interests and passions. The cultures the students come from will show their differences, and how unique they are, along with what their interests are. All students that teachers will have in their classroom will come from different experiences, whether they are from their home lives, possible …show more content…

Unfortunately, bullying in a classroom can be quite common among students, whether the students had once been friends and had a falling out, or if they have never gotten along. Not only is bullying caused by differences between the students that they do not overcome, but it can also be caused by struggles at home or a lack of self-confidence. Bullying can start because the student may be lacking attention at home, and so they are searching for a way to get the attention they need. Another reason students may bully others is that they are not confident in themselves, so they feel the need to make others feel worse, so they feel better about themselves by bringing others down. A second behavioural problem that teachers may struggle with from their students is students being unwilling to learn or having trouble paying attention and causing disruptions in class. Often students may cause disruptions in the classroom while the teacher is teaching because they are looking for attention, they may be lacking from their home lives, or they find the lesson boring. Unfortunately, this can make it more difficult for the teacher as it may result in other students not being able to pay attention during class time, interfering with their …show more content…

When dealing with bullying, teachers need to express their expectations of how students are expected to act and behave in class when dealing with other students or with teachers. Showing that bullying is not going to be tolerated in any way in the classroom, can keep students from bullying others. Unfortunately, this does not always work, a second way to help diminish bullying in a classroom could be by setting a good example for the students. While some discipline is necessary to help kids learn that it is not okay to bully others, it is not always as effective as teachers may hope, often it can just escalate the problem. Talking to the student one-on-one and discussing why they are bullying others and how the teacher may be able to help in the future, can help the bullying in the classroom stop. When dealing with a student who is causing disruptions in the classroom there are several methods, both good and bad that teachers carry out. Often teachers may single a student out, this often makes the student cause more disruptions in class. One method that some teachers have used to get their students to pay more attention during class time is to arrange a new seating plan, putting the student close to their desk, this way the student is not embarrassed by being singled out, and it makes it easier for the teacher to keep an eye on them. Another way that teachers may

In most schools, nearly half of all teachers are never trained in bullying prevention. Bullies are mostly cruel to innocent young children. Only one-third of students between ages 12 - 18 report being bullied. Students now judge or will be judged by the way they look, dress, speak, or their hair style. Over 2,000 American teenagers turn to suicide because of bullying.

For example whenever my teacher is away he leaves me to teach my MMA class in his absence. This class is composed of many different types of people who each learn a little differently and must be taught in their own way. For example a little boy in this class that is around six or seven and has been diagnosed with ODD along with other disorders that make it hard for him to follow instructions and this causes problems with the flow of the class when one student won’t do what the rest of the class is doing. For example when we are warming up before we start to do technique this boy starts to do what the rest of the class is doing but then becomes distracted or starts to believe that he has reached his limits. When this happens I either call the boy up to the front of the class to do the exercises with me encouraging him or if we are working something new I would call one of our veterans to the front to continue demonstrating the move.

After establishing the positive classroom environment, the next section is based on analyzing student behavior. From this section, two things that were stressed was that multiple theories must be incorporated in a classroom management strategy, and that the students’ needs should be a priority in the classroom.

Classroom management is a term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students. It also implies the prevention of disruptive behavior. It is one of the most difficult tasks or aspect of teaching for many teachers. This single skill has heavily contributed to teacher stress and burnout (Gordon, 2002, Jepson & Forrest, 2006), overall teacher efficacy(Caprarait al., 2003; Edwards it al., 2002), students achievement and teacher performance in the classroom (Edwards it al. ,2002; Milner, 2002; Pavlov, 2007), and has commonly been a major concern of principals regarding new teachers (Principal Perspective, 2004; Williams).

Bullying in Schools What seems fun and harmless for some students, is painful and degrading to others. Bullying has been a critical issue around schools, but before it was not as dangerous and know as it is now. These do not means bullying was not happening, it means it was not taken into consideration by parents or teachers. They thought it was just peer pressure or a kids game, and sooner or later the kids would be friends again. At one point, bullies think it’s normal to be mean and abusive to other students.

It consists of three main types of abuse which are physical, verbal and emotional. Bullying in schools is a common and worldwide spread problem that can have critical and negative implications on the general school climate as well as on the right of students to study in a safe and secure environment without fear.
