and socio- economic status. In case of misbehavior, you will
understand them easily and an appropriate assistance will
come in time.
• Be firm and consistent in following “do’s” and “don’ts” AT
ALL TIMES.
 Be enthusiastic.
 Let out your good sense of humor. Laugh with your
students and sometimes at yourself. It will reduce
tension from all.

noise nor too soft to be heard.
 Be humble with words and actions. It could produce a
magnetizing affect.

discourage bad tendencies.
 Use nonverbal gestures, frown or hard look to dissuade
them from mischiefs.
 Dialogues could help in discovering problems and
agreeing on mutually beneficial solutions.
 Focus attention on one who is unruly and is about to
disturb the neighbors.
Continued
 Allow students the freedom to express or explain agitated feelings
and misgivings rather than censure them right away.
 Unacceptable and ineffective:

 Scolding and harsh words as a reprimand will have a negative
effect on the entire class.
 Nagging and faultfinding, together with long “sermons”
are repugnant and nasty.
Continued
 Denying a student some privileges due to unnecessary hyperactivity

could encourage more repetitions.
 Assignment of additional homework compared to the rest could
make them dislike the subject.
 Grades for academic achievement should not be affective due to
misdemeanor.
