After 1 1/2 years of teaching middle school, I finally mastered classroom management while engaging the students However, I left the teaching profession after 5 years due to personal transition I really surprised myself on becoming a beloved teacher and a great teacher, too Why? Because I wasn't a teacher at all I fell into the role after the teacher for that curriculum quit

What do you do if your students just start acting up again even after achieving this 😢

I’m going into a PGCE course very soon and I found this video! Thank you for your useful tips!
Comment from : Fairy Gaming

What a great refresher, along with new strategies! TY! Love to hear about classroom jobs, etc and the hallway reflection sheet for students
Comment from : Anna Kimes

I have that book, The Classroom Management Book, by Harry and Rosemary Wong, and it's really good Used it in my grad school education class Having your own copy wouldn't be a bad idea No, I don't get a royalty

Everything you described in the beginning is exactly what I went through yesterday, the first day as a teacher It was awful and I went home crying
Comment from : Arts by B Ware

The class-yes is part of Whole Brain Teaching… powerful method You need to use that in conjunction with the score board!
Comment from : Lindsey

Just saw your channel today, middle school art teacher here! Where the heck have you been all my life! This will be my second year, last year was complete chaos, I knew no classroom management! Thank you!
Comment from : Renee Brady

How many days did it takes to you to rehearse them?brWhat will you do if you could not get 100 on first day?
Comment from : Mehak Syeda

Persistence to that hundred percent of students participating
Comment from : jhm stagg

Thanks - I find a lot of behaviour advice is catered to primary school students (years 1 to 7) yet not enough for years 8 to 10
Comment from : M S

I liked about your video is that you are telling a real experience that happened with you in the classroom and went into details This was really helpful, thank you
Comment from : Natalie Hariri

57 seconds in and my body was hot listening to the scenario omg! ROFL that is exactly what my mind goes through! AHHH!!!
Comment from : Amanda Tulloch

Firstly I’m struggling with getting students to follow basic instructions Secondly I’m in a constantly “battle” with students , when I’m talking they NEED to speak over me (starting to believe it’s a cultural thing) I’m teaching English as a second language and there is also a language barrier and the students have a very low level of competency I only see them once a week for a short course Need help !
Comment from : Louis Kruger

But how do you teach them this method? Do you just say okay class when i say class you say yes That’s how it goes? They’re gonna laugh and not gonna like it If you or someone can put more details on how to teach this to them brThanks
Comment from : amona ki

excuse me, are you in rush? why u have to speak too fast? slow down man, great video thoug
Comment from : Jose Eliezer Cabrera Gonzalez

The intro has me cracking up because I’m literally flashbacking to the familiar classroom mayhem My homeroom class is kicking my butt this year with their antics It’s been a learning experience for sure
Comment from : Marissa

Fantastic! Thank you!!! :)
Comment from : Monica Perez

Thank you for this , I'm first year teaching I've been going crazy and I will implement this asap
Comment from : suhayfa sheik

That is true about rehearsing classroom management procedures with the class if you've just been assigned as the long term sub I learned that real teachers do that too lol! Spend the first days learning procedures, expectations, syllabus review, etc I spent 3 years teaching middle school English myself with some months spent as a substitute before the teaching job
Comment from : okaminess

I did some workshops in middle schools as an artist There is always on or two groups that dont quiet want to be there And they dont give much feedback Also I do not have the time to deal woth it Its so frustrating and distracting to support the other interested students Wish school was interest based So nobody would need to show up who is not interested
Comment from : copy paste

Students just look bored I can tell from their outlook they're uninterested in learning English In a country where English isn't the first language, I find it hard to communicate with them and some just decide to talk during the class🥺 Sometimes I wonder if I'm the problem or maybe I should make it more interesting but I really don't know how 😐😐So here I am hoping to get something good out of this video to help manage a group of teens😆
Comment from : Taiwo Kalejaiye

I literally laughed out loud and spewed aerosolized saliva when you said hope that the student doesn't show up tomorrow 🤣
Comment from : Amanda

think the Class Class Class thing would work in the gym for PE? Seems like it could be a good idea!
Comment from : David Backhaus

Will this work for high school?
Comment from : Mr Foo

Thank you for this! I like to "sing" a lot and make silly sounds to get my 6th graders' attention, and I've noticed it works, but I do need to continue and persevere until I get that 100 participation This winter break reset is going to be amazing
Comment from : Kaytlin Evans

That 6th grade class that is always out of control that you can hear down the hall? That's my class First year teacher and my classroom managenent skills are very poor Glad I found you
Comment from : Marissa Maté

I tried the response to class class class - they made fun of it - I tried but they just laughed and screamed
Comment from : Yael

Wow! Thank you! I have taught adults and kids, and I am now homeschooling on top of working from home What a difference this makes Thanks again!
Comment from : KHTY TV and News

I gave pop quizzes almost every day The directions would be given the day before in a conversation level volume I had a LOT of talkers They didn't know when the directions would be given It varied every day One day, the directions were to come into class the following day, take out a piece of paper, put your name on it, write the alphabet and fold it in half Directions were given only once The "good" kids loved this part of class They never discussed the directions outside of class The "bad" kids finally got with the program I also did test reviews with relay races and nerf guns There were two teams The first student from each team would run down to the table, pick up the nerf gun, shot at one of the colors on the target, grab a question out of that color bucket and answer it If everyone on the team answered every question, each person on the team would get 2 points added to their test grade They LOVED it and studied really hard for it Anything from the first day of school was fair game
Comment from : Debbie Day

I started doing substitute teaching last week Tomorrow I'm being brought in to go from class to class in the junior high, swapping out for various teachers teaching subjects I've never seen with kids I've never met I have no formal training in teaching, and only my three and a half days subbing sixth grade to lean on I'll be observed by the principal It's for a provisional teaching position (sort of a permanent substitute) Naturally I'm a bit nervous I'm not a naturally authoritative person I'm not administratively gifted I've got this far because I'm unusually good with kids and unusually smart, and I ran a business employing high schoolers for the last decade But I don't know yet if I have what it takes to run a classroom, long term

😂how am I supposed to do my work if I don’t have a pencil sheesh - good ideas!! I’m gonna use these :)
Comment from : Lauren Stanley

When I was in middle school in the mid 90s, this was not necessary Teachers had a little detention pad they could write out slips for detention I don't know what happened, are teachers not allowed to use discipline any longer?
Comment from : Kenny Gee

It doesn’t need to have a high IQ or intelligence to understand how one should conduct himself in a class It should have been acquired and established at home That makes us different from animals

I am starting my first year with 7th grade in a few weeks… will this technique work with that age group? Too immature for them? I have some tweaks I plan to use but was wondering?

Hello Thom! Sent you a DM to your instagram account requesting your permission to use your video for training purposes brI'll be waiting for your favorable reply! Have a great day:) Thanks!
Comment from : Sarah Kim

I'm a high school physics teacher with a lot of years in In the after math of being virtual for a year my normal 10th graders were at, at best, an 8th grade level Needless to say I struggled a lot more than I would have liked (or would like to admit) I realize I need to up my game While this year's classes were no where near the 6th grade class you took over I did struggle with pencil sharpening nonsense with a handful of kids I generally can get their attention pretty well, but I honestly think the class class class procedure is pretty funny and worth trying I also appreciate your comments about the mistakes teachers make in giving up ormoving on too soon
Comment from : Steve thecat

I am banging my head against the wall realizing the mistakes I made this year Live and learn

Shy kids don’t really like to talk so I leave them alone
Comment from : WisdomWins

Creating an element of competition works too Giving a snack for Completed work makes some want to compete to be the first or not wanting to feel left out Also it brings light to them that they are Missing Out on fun

Watching videos on classroom management after 2 weeks' of classroom management problems and feeling like I ought to resign
Comment from : Sara A

This doesn’t work when kids refuse to even put up their phones and they don’t want to do work and there are no consequences for disrespectful behavior
Comment from : Appreciatin Creation

Thanks Thom!! I watched your video and tried it with my high school band that I’m subbing for It worked!!!! For Three weeks I was challenged with having them play together I was afraid to even face them today So I applied your method And it worked on the second try The first time, most of them did it but there were some that were not doing it So I calmly congratulated the ones that was doing it and I said “but there were still some other people that we’re not doing it and we need to do this as a collective hall so let’s try it again” And by God they all did itSo thank you so much for your tip and I will be doing that for everything that I do and hope that it will work It was not hard to do by the way Thanks again!! You are making a difference!!🙏🏾

THANK YOU 🙏🏻 for breaking it down I have been out of the traditional classroom for a few years and I am on the struggle bus…this is exactly what I was looking for
Comment from : Brenda Befit

Great info appreciate the knowledge
Comment from : Jose Hernandez

What an awesome way to establish a collective attention and cooperation! There is a theme of consistency that I detect here, and I think SO many teachers can relate to HOW important it is to stay consistent and not allow any slack in the line of rules and procedures Thank you, and thank you to your class, Class, CLASS! :)
Comment from : MissFit2Teach

Crazy teachers need a gimmick for kids to pay attention When you're not doing the call, does that mean they do not have to pay attention?
Comment from : dosdientes

Huge help, you earned a sub I got roped into this whole teaching thing after I lost my dream job due to covid and I don’t know how to get these kids to STOP TALKING Thanks!
Comment from : Bminutes

I start my first class in two weeks I plan on using this! Thank you! I am scared!
Comment from : stephanie mcguire

Can anyone confirm that they have tried this and it worked?
Comment from : Ausencio Martinez-Olvidares

What about the student that fails to comply
Comment from : Jeanine Williamson

rules need to be in place and there should be clear rules so children know exactly what is that your expectation in always make sure whatever you put in place stick to it
Comment from : Darlene Deanglis

As a middle school teacher in a Title 1 school in the bad part of town, my biggest classroom management challenge are when students constantly say, "I'm not the only one doing that' How do you answer that?
Comment from : Michael C

I just started teaching middle school this past Monday I’m going try this method next week, thank you!

I am SOOOOO glad I found your video I will be implementing this tomorrow It just the second day and it was a day!!! Pray for me my fellow teachers
Comment from : Briana Reynolds

How can you explain to them what to do if the noise level is too loud in the beginning so that noone cares about what you're saying or listening to you?
Comment from : Dis Donc!

I’m a first year middle school teacher and I am having so much anxiety with starting this year! I’ve only had experience with elementary age students! Your videos are helping ease my anxiety!! Thank you so much!
Comment from : noelnovels

As someone who doesnt do well with raising my voice over students, I'm a huge fan of this method but with clapping a rhythm (or stomping, pounding on desks, etc) When I was student teaching 8th graders and struggling to project my voice over theirs, I worried this would be a bit elementary for them, but I was honestly shocked at how much buy in I got immediately I like that it gives them an extra second or so to get extra energy and goofiness out (trying to clap the loudest, being super dramatic with it lol)
