How to deal with an unmanaged class

Young teachers often face difficult classes. Children in them make noise, talk loudly and interfere with the lesson. Instead of working in a lesson, they prefer to "sit on the phone." At such a moment, lessons can fall for anyone, and any desire to teach disappears. How to start controlling a difficult class?

1. Keep an eye out for children. When the material of the lesson is incomprehensible to students, not only academic performance, but also discipline begin to limp. The quietest children will try to get involved in the work, but there will always be a student who will defiantly interfere with the lesson. When the material of the lesson is clear to the child, he is more motivated and focused. How to check if students understand the material? Take time in the class to assess their perception. It doesn’t matter what form you choose: a survey or independent work; the main thing is to check the perception of the material in each lesson.

2. Make the lessons harder. If the work in the lesson and its material seem simple to the children, they will be constantly distracted and interfere with the teacher. To avoid such situations, you will need to assess the capabilities of children and offer them feasible, but difficult tasks. Pay attention to the checks in the lesson: if the child is doing the job, this does not mean that he is ready to solve more complex tasks. Pay attention to how long it takes students to complete the assignment; what does their body language say? Are they anxious? Is it hard for them to make a decision? If you are ready to answer “no” to all these questions, then you can safely increase the level of difficulty of tasks.

3. Load students with work. You have decided on the level of students and monitor their perception of the material. Now load them with work! In the lesson, they should not have time to rest. In a difficult class, breaks in work will lead to failure. It is recommended to devote less than ten minutes to submit new material in the form of a lecture, the rest of the time students should work on their own: make them a list of tasks that they should complete by the end of the lesson. You can make speed adjustments for individual students. The main thing is to always make a sheet so that students do not have time to complete all the tasks in a lesson. You can transfer the remaining tasks to the next lesson.

Of course, in one lesson the class will not become exemplary, but continue to methodically follow these tips, and you will succeed!
