13 trucs de gestion de classe qui instaurent le respect. Quand vient le temps de gérer sa classe, on a souvent l’habitude d’instaurer un système d’émulation ou des règles et de supporter toutes ces règles par des punitions. Très vite, on apprend que ça fonctionne (du moins partiellement !), mais ça a le vicieux défaut de devoir demander une vigilance constante de la part de l’adulte en plus de miner considérablement l’apprentissage de l’autonomie de la part des élèves. De plus, ça réduit les comportements qu’on veut voir disparaître, sans toutefois les enrayer définitivement. Résultat : On s’épuise et on s’endort en réfléchissant sur comment on pourra mieux contrôler le lendemain… Il y a d’autres voies ( ?), moins visibles et surtout moins bruyantes (faisant partie du gain de l’autonomie de la pédagogie 3.0),mais combien plus payantes sur le long terme! P.S. 1-Le respect commence dès l’entrée en classe. Chaque matin, personne ne peut me déranger lorsque les élèves entrent dans la classe. 2.La porte individuelle. 4. 5. 6.Le regard 7.L’humour 8.
Detective Game by Peter Pappas I did not waste the opening week of school introducing the course – my students solved mysteries. I took simplified mysteries and split them into 25-30 clues, each on a single strip of paper. Read my blog post on how I used this lesson. I used a random count off to get the kids away from their buddies and into groups of 5-6 students. This activity demonstrates to students the need for considering the contributions of every group member and gives them practice in organizing cooperatively to accomplish a task. You will need a set of clues for the case for each group. Link to Murder Mystery Clues Link to Bank Robbery Clues Note - These clues were adapted from: Learning Discussion Skills Through Games Gene and Barbara Dodds Stanford Citation Press / Scholastic Books 1969 Students are seated in a circle with the teacher standing outside the group. "Today we are going to play another game that will help improve your discussion skills.

Tips for Commenting on Student Writing | The Teaching Center Instructors who require their students to write papers dedicate many hours each semester to reading, commenting on, and grading student writing, and they often wonder if the time they have spent translates into improvements in their students' writing skills. For their part, students want constructive feedback on their writing and often express frustration when they find their instructors' comments on their papers to be mysterious, confusing, or simply too brief. The following tips can help you improve the effectiveness and efficiency with which you respond to your students' writing. These tips focus on the process of writing comments on students' papers (whether on rough drafts or final drafts), rather than on the process of grading papers.

That means a new batch of students to get to know, students who need to be made comfortable in your classroom, and who need to get to know each other. It’s essential to start building relationships with your students right from the start. And how to accomplish this? I planned to create a nice big post with dozens of icebreaker ideas you could choose from. They require students to take massive social risks with people they barely know. So I have scrapped my plan to curate good icebreakers from the Internet. In my own classrooms, with middle school, high school, and college students, I have played all three of these games with great success. Each of these will likely sound familiar to you, although the names may not be exactly what you’ve known them as.
