Situation/Sample response | Ideal response and evaluation |
1. A student always runs in class. What will you do? | |
Only wait and see if it repeated more often. If problems are so massive that they endanger the lesson, I have to intervene. This can be done through extra-curricular arrangements, but the student can also be sanctioned by exclusion (0 P). | I remind the student to follow the rules and remember the consequences, which we have previously placed in the class. [Remembering rules and consequences; RRC] If the student does not keep this in mind, the student gets a consequence. [Result/Sanctions; C] If the student still does not keep this in mind, I talk to him/her face to face and try to understand his/her motives. We determine what he/she can do in order to comply with the rules. [Conversation, empathy, assistance/Agreement for rule compliance; Con] |
2. Although you have often talked to students about their aggressive behavior towards classmates (verbal and sometimes physical), nothing changes. What will you do? | |
Treat bullying as a topic-show a video. (0) | Since the behavior despite frequent warnings (reference to rules and consequences) cannot be changed, I make it possible for the student to participate in a training course. [Intervention Training/Assistance/Alternatives to act] Before that I make sure that the student exhibits the behavior not only in my classes but also in other classes by factual discussions with my colleagues. [Talk with colleagues/parents/discussion with school psychologists/Exclude: behavior only during one’s own teaching] |
3. Students come late for class. How do you react? | |
Classroom door will be locked at an agreed time (about 7 mins.). Students will have to study that lesson at home. (0 P). | RRC C Con |
4. A student constantly beats his classmate next to him on the arm with his fist. The neighbor does not fight back. What will you do? | |
I continue to observe the situation and ask the bully to answer challenging questions about the lesson. (0 P). | RRC C Con Toward the student who does not fight back: I reinforce him/her for his/her social behavior. [Conversation with the affected students/reinforce affected student]. I ask him/her to get help in a more clear way. I take occasion and talk with the class about the difference between tattling and getting help. Talking with the two students. |
5. One of your students has a speech impediment (e.g. stuttering) and, when he participates in class, he/she is laughed at by classmates. How do you react? | |
Speak to the class, introduce the students to the class and tell the students that this student has a problem, that happens in our society and I urge all students to be respectful and patient. (0 P). | Intervention measure on „being respectful to each other. “If this does not work: Conversations in small groups [measure Respectfully working together, talking to small groups, reminding them of rules] Respectively (Once an affected pupil/student concerned comes into focus: 0 P.) Face to face Conversation with the affected student: affirm that there will be a solution. [Responding to affected students, assistance] |
6. A student frequently puts his/her hand up, but is rarely paid attention to, complaining loudly (during your lesson). How do you behave? | |
I apologize to the student for my behavior, and I promise him that I will pay more attention to him/her next time. (0 P). | Signal perception, friendly smile [Perception, memory of rules] Talk about it face to face [Personal interview, outside the class context].More options [one’s own critical reflection] |
7. A student is constantly running around the classroom. On your demand he/she always has a reason. There is paper, which he/she wants to throw, she/he wants to open the window, she/he wants to wash his/her hands, etc. How do you react? | |
I make it clear that nobody can get up anytime he/she wants and he/she has the personal responsibility to organize him/her self better | RRC C Con |
8. A student throws paper beads in the classroom. How do you react? | |
I exhort the student, but firstly do not threaten with consequences. (0 P). | RRC C Con |
