I might provide extra instruction to them to make sure that they are getting the support that they need or I might have a teacher's assistant work alongside them in groups. Less

1. I said I would write the disruptive student's name on the board, with one check next to the name. I would remind the student that if he/she gets two more checks, I will send him/her to the Principal's Office. If the student then called me a name or was even more disruptive, I would send him/her to the office immediately, and follow up with a written description of the event. 2. One way to be inclusive is to assign group projects that require 4 or 5 kinds of information -- written, graphic, computer-generated, and a presentation before the class. This naturally provides avenues of achievement for kids who have different talents and limits -- for example, kids with ADD do better with hands-on projects and computer research. Traditional learning style kids enjoy writing assignments and giving speeches or talks before the class. 3. Studies show giving small warm-ups to kids as they come in helps them to settle in and listen. I like to have a few questions on the board, to be copied and answered during class. then they turn these in at end of class. This piques their curiosity about the day's lesson, guides their focus in class to get the answers, and gives me an easily achieved extra grade to boost scores. Less

I said that I feel it is the responsibility of the classroom teacher to create an environment where students feel comfortable. I also said that I felt that education was a parent/teacher partnership and parents should be contacted if student conferences are ineffective. Sending a student to an administrator for classroom management issues should be the last resort. Less

My classroom management is built completely off the relationships I build off my students. My classes know that because I genuinely care, when I correct them for doing something incorrect, there's a logical purpose as to why I'm addressing it. Less

I first take into account that the parent only has their child's best interest at heart and that their anger is most likely not directed personally at me. Next I would work with them to achieve the results they are looking for. Less

I took a moment to think and said I would ask the student if he or she needed any help with something. If the student continued to disrupt the class I would give the class an assignment and take the student aside. I would ask what was going on with them and what I could do to make it better. Less

Organization and the ability to complete objectives in a timely manner is my instructional strength. Being too serious and strict is my instructional weakness. Less

I worked with children for 8 years LAUSD I enjoy learning and teaching children I feel it's a double experience they learn from us we learn from them and I have a genuine interest in furthering a child education and keeping them safe Less
