Re: A little story about student engagement

I agree 100%. Though finding interesting activities every day of the week is almost impossible, as it takes time to prepare. I think it's important to learn to have an engaging style...just be an actor. Some people are born with it, but some of us need to learn it. It's possible for sure.

Re: 25 classroom management strategies to get silence from a noisy group of students

mayra — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 23:39:58 -0000

The one strategy that I have used with my pre k students and now with my middle school students is just to start counting super slow in a loud voice with my fingers up in the air.... At the beginning of the year I usually count up to 3 now I only count to 1...I guess they think they will explode if I reach 2 so as soon as they hear me counting they all stop what they are doing....

Hi there
I really like you videos 'How to take control of the noisy class' and on your website I clicked the 'order now' button but it says my 'shopping trolley' is empty.... I can't see where to go to select the product package. I tried it from a couple of different points.

Thought I would let you know .... I am interested in buying (Australian dollars) and you might be missing out on other sales ...

Also the 'contact' form didn't work because of some SPAM prevention thing...

Cheers

Jess

Like Kathy, I work with small groups (10 or less), and have found a strategy that has had positive results with my K - 4th graders. When a reader comes to a challenging word, in read alouds, the rest of the group cannot tell the reader the word, however, they can give clues. The kids love being the teacher, the reader feels pride with being able to pronounce the word on their own, and I not only see what strategies they are using, but learn a few interesting ones myself. While it raises the humor factor and lowers stress, This also reduces blurting out, establishes teamwork, and greatly raises productivity.

Great ideas, thanks Rob.
Can I ask though, with the compliment chain is it advisable to remove links if basd behaviour is observed or is that too negative? What's others trhoughts on this? Mine, is that this would help the class take ownership of their behaviour.

Great ideas! I'd like more classroom management tips please - especially some for younger children whose ability to read/write means that ideas such as the Reflection Sheet or routines published on the wall are not viable.

Kathy P-W — Mon, 03 Mar 2014 13:34:02 -0000

These are nice. I teach small groups for 30 minutes at a time and am always looking for smaller management tricks, as I don't have the entire day to observe and reward. Any ideas?

Hi Rob! Your new baby is beautiful!
You contacted me about a classroom management video. You wanted me to place a link on it and work together. Would love to do that. Something is going on with the YouTube email inbox. I've gotten three requests with the same info in them. I've responded to all three. Not sure what is happening. Can you email me directly? dduncan158@gmail.com
Thanks! Dale Duncan

Congratulations to the family on the new addition. She is just adorable. May you all be blessed with equal amounts of sleep and quiet one on one time as that sometimes takes a vacation when our cute bundles of joy just arrive. Enjoy this special bonding time. God Bless
