So you must have a classroom management plan in place and teach it as if you're their regular classroom teacher. Teach your plan and your routines and procedures from the beginning. Take your time. Model everything. And never move on with a lesson until or unless you're getting what you want from your class. When you show up, then, they'll know they must behave the way you expect or there will be a consequence. Read through the articles on this site in the procedures and rules & consequences categories. Also, for a prep time or subject matter teacher, leverage is especially important. Michael Hi Michele,

When I either go to a class or the class comes in they are not under control and then I try to take over, needless to say it does not go well. I have the respect of some but as soon as I try to teach they are out of control again. Do you have any suggestions? Hi Michael,

It doesn't surprise me that your students were able to sense your change in mindset. A frequent "calm and assertive" reminder is a great idea. Thanks for sharing. Michael Hi Kathy,

Good story. It doesn’t surprise me that your students were able to sense your change in mindset. A frequent “calm and assertive” reminder is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

I watched him last Thursday night and on Friday, when my students were coming out of lunch I felt myself feeling frustrated with their excessive talking as they waited to see if they would get recess. I remembered Cesar's recommendation about being "calm and assertive", took a deep breath and I felt my own mindset change. Suddenly, my students were quietly waiting for my instructions. It really was kind of cool. Have a great day! Kathy Lithia, FL Hi Michael,
