QR Chapter 3

This chapter is about how to treat your students properly so that they respect you and how to deal with behavior in the classroom. Some ways to let the students know that you care about the work that you are having them do is to put the class agenda on the board, discuss your expectations about classroom behavior with them, find out what the school expects in their policies, follow up on your expectations consistently, and keep student learning as a top priority. The chapter also talked about how different behaviors in the classroom can mean different things depending on the students and the day. One way to figure out what is disrupting the student's behavior is to look at their life outside of school, whether they have jobs, tons of chores, or brothers and sisters to look after. The chapter says that for consequences, the teacher should use their judgement and make the consequence something appropriate for the student so that they will realize that they have done something wrong, and learn from it. Everyday offenses such as talking, or passing notes, do not require a serious consequence, just a glance, or talking in a stern voice.
