CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
Disrespectful Students
Stay Calm and don't take it personally when students choose to push boundaries. Remind your self every morning "No matter what I will remain calm" and it will not have any effect on your mood.
Hold Students Accountable for their Behavior. Give calm/ unemotional warnings "it is rude to talk back when you are told to do something, you are better than that. Just day yes ma'am and do it".
Make your expectations very clear from day one. Have set rules and consequences in place from the beginning of the year (re-teach them if you have to).
Work on Building Relationships with your students. Show them you value them as people. Sit with them as they work and just talk with them.

DISCIPLINE
"Do it over" strategy
Write ART on a board - erase the T if students are too loud/ off task, erase the R if they continue (5 minutes of Silent Art), A gets erased if misbehavior continues - Silent Art for the entire class next day.
Control at the Door- students line up outside the door and teacher waits for students to calm down
Arguing/ Back Talking - teacher response can be your "Teacher Stare". Just look at the student adn wait for compliance.
Seating Charts - allow students to pick their seat on the first day that way you know who their friends are. On the second day/week assign their seats.
Teacher Proximity cuts behavior problems down and encourages students to participate in discussion.
