I just recently moved to a new school and am floundering under a much more lenient admin than I'm used to. I'm not a big disciplinarian and have been able to rely on admin to handle most problem students who I can't reason with. At my new school teachers are expected to discipline and teach at the same time and my teaching is falling behind. How can I be sterner? Or make the students respect me more?

I think how you start the year really sets the tone. I let my students know that they should expect me to be kind and fair and if they feel that I am not that they should speak to me. I try to guide them to make better decisions and I provide privileges as they demonstrate they can be responsible. I have found that catching them being awesome has been powerful. "Wow, you guys did a great transition it was both quick and quiet, thank you." " I know that you are mature enough to do ___." "I know I can trust you/count on you to do ___" I speak about the thinking that allows them to become more independent and self sufficient. If you encounter ___ what is the best option? I apologize when I have to interrupt them or when I make a mistake to model respectful behavior. I absolutely do not tolerate disrespectful behavior. I almost never involve admin in my classroom management or behavioral issues. I feel to do that is giving up your confidence and command of your classroom.

Continue building relationships with those students. Sit them down see what they need and ask them how you can help them and see how those conversations go.

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.

What’s your opinion on math homework? I teach 4th grade and have always given it but I’d like to see what others do and weigh out if it’s really worth it. If I give it, I feel like I should spend class time going over it but on the other hand I stress myself out trying to keep the absent work organized and those that don’t even do the work.
