How To Manage Classroom Behaviours When You Don't Know The Students' Names

DESCRIPTION:

In this episode, Tem delves into the challenging yet common scenario faced by teachers: managing classroom behaviours effectively when you don't know your students' names. Whether you're new to a school, new to a class, or simply faced with a large class, establishing authority and creating a positive learning environment can be daunting when you can't call upon students by name. Join Tem as she explores practical strategies and techniques to help teachers overcome this hurdle.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Incorporating photos onto your seating plans will help you refer to students quickly by name
• Use post-it notes or labels on tables so you can refer to students by names as you move around the classroom helping students.
• Turn learning your students names into a game/competition for them
• Once you ask a student for their name, make sure you refer to them by their name as often as possible. Repetition will help you to remember names.

BEST MOMENTS:

"Deal with those low level disruptions quickly because you know their name"

"They will push those boundaries"

"It starts to build that rapport with the students"
