3. Here will be the students reaction when the bell ringsafter
you have mastered these points of instruction.
4. INSTRUCTION THAT WORKSIt is not the critic who counts; not
the man whopoints out how the strong man stumbles, or wherethe doer
of deeds could have done better.The credit belongs to the man who
is actually in thearena who, at best, knows in the end the
triumphof great achievement, and who, at the worst, if hefails, at
least fails while daring greatly.So that his place will never be
with those cold andtimid souls who know neither victory or defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
5. 1. RECOGNIZE INDIVIDUALDIFFERENCES IN STUDENTS DIFFERENCES
IN BACKGROUND RATE OF LEARNING DIFFERENCES LEARNING STYLESActively
communicate that youunderstand these differencesand that you have a
plan toaddress the differences.
6. 2. SAFETY WITHIN YOUR CLASSROOM Recognize the fear students
may have of your or their classmates expectations. Eliminate the
use of sarcasm and ridicule. Spend time building a community within
your classroom. And dont do something like this!!! Or this!!! Once
youve yelled youve lost the battle. This doesnt mean you wont have
to raise your voice every once in awhile but teachers who yell all
the time are often those with the worst classes. Making students
feel comfortable with you and their classmates is the antidote to
fear.
7. 3. RELATIONSHIPS Be in the relationship business. Form a
trust and talk about what you believe in. When students are absent,
notice. Punishment and reward lose value over time but
relationships gain value over time.
8. 4. Behavior Solutions Dont attach an academic penalty to a
behavior. View student misbehavior as an academic problem not just
misbehavior. Create extra learning opportunities for your most
challenging students. Most misbehavior happens because students are
either bored or lost.
9. 5. TEACH EVERYTHING Stop complaining about what they cant do
and teach them the way to do it right. Teach against student
deficiencies. Respect your power. When your future is intertwined
with theirs, great things happen.
10. INSTRUCTION THAT WORKSWhat is the single most determining
factor in in successful instruction?YOU, THE TEACHER! BL
11. INSTRUCTION THAT WORKS You can change behavior better from
a position of friendship than that of an enemy. Create a checklist
to help you know your students. Routines: Everything should stay
the same except what they are learning. Find legends or traditions
in your classroom. Check for understanding, dont just ask if there
are any questions.
12. POSITIVE DISCIPLINE Be at eye level and if possible, beside
them. Use voice control, no yelling. Use active listening, repeat
and give them and you time to respond. Think positive thoughts
about your students. Move closer to the misbehavior and away when
they comply. Use positive reinforcement, negative only when it
could have a positive outcome. Punishment should be the last on the
list of actions.
13. 10 CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE CHANGING SCHOOLS Believe that
all students can learn. Use innovative instruction. Use a needs
based approach. Pay attention to self-esteem. Choose cooperation
over conflict. Dont be bound by tradition. Be overwhelmingly
positive. Use the control theory. Be consistent yet flexible.
Change the teams.
