Ch 13 - Charles

In chapter 13, one of the issues that is talked about is when students fail to comply. That is something that is hanging in the back of my head that I am not looking forward to dealing with. I shouldn’t say it like that. I am fine with helping students and redirecting students who are misbehaving. What worries me are those select students who misbehavior multiple times on a daily basis. I do not want to be that teacher who reaches a breaking point and just starts to constantly scream or nag or just simply neglect a child. I want to be able to be there for my students and hopefully use the misbehavior as an opportunity to turn it into a positive lesson for the student and/or class. I like the idea of a “do-over” for a student where they simply are given the chance to do over their misbehavior but if this misbehavior is reoccurring, the system may not be working well for this particular student. How do I go about handling this child without making them stick out like sore thumb?
