Personally I am freaked right out about control a classroom especially when I first become a substitute teacher. I remember the things we use to do to subs in high school and it made me realize that those things may happen to me when I'm a sub. We all know what goes through a students mind when they find out they have a sub, either they don't come to class or they act out during class.
The one method that I would use the most out of the four we spoke about in class would be the positive reinforcement. I believe that giving students something for good behaviour is the best way to keep them on the right track. The out of control students might see what they are missing out on and might even change their behavioural ways to be able to gain that reward as well. I think that giving a student something for good behaviour is better than taking something away from them if they are misbehaving. Positive attitudes in my classroom is what I'm going to strive towards. I remember having teachers that just punished students all the time and never gave rewards to the behaved students. Without a reward do you think that many students will want to behave?Personally I don' think they will. So with all this said, positive reinforcement is my mainstream goal for classroom management.
