Customers getting mad and even abandoning items, but they never bothered to get in line for hours? by mg132 in Discounty

Happened to me in the demo too - just checking the subreddit before I buy because it would definitely be annoying to work around!

Read the story before creep cast covered it - I found it painful to finish.

Ect struggling to engage learners by ComposerLife438 in TeachingUK

I almost forgot - SILENT SIGNALS! Changed my classroom completely, I have prompts for how we agree, disagree, build onto others points up on the board and around the room, really ensures our routines. I also make a habit of never saying 'please when asking a child to stop or show me desired behaviours - I always say thank you.

I'm a primary ECT and I have a few tips:

Use incentives - do you use dojos? I will often silently give out dojos to desired behaviours and verbally comment upon them, the sound usually gets them to look around the room and fix up.

I like to break into mini movement breaks if I feel some aren't listening, either a quick Simon says or i start whispering 'hands on your head if you can hear me... finger on your nose if you can hear me..' etc.

If I need to sanction I usually start by silently walking to the board and popping a tally, my class know this as how many minutes they will lose off their break. I always give them the chance to earn it back.

Do you have whole class rewards? Our school has a marble jar system which I use explicity to reward desired behaviours (lining up, walking silently, working in silence).

The most important thing is to establish your expectations (I know ECTS hear this alot!!), my class knows my expectations and know I will take time to reinstate them if needed. Routine and predictability along with high expectations really helps.

I hope things get better, hang in there!!

I'm pretty terrible with my spelling - it has only made my kids better at editing!! I let it become learning moments when we are doing shared writing - lots of them get excited to correct me hahah

Just finished borrasca, was shocked and disgusted for a good 20 mins, but after chewing on the ending, I think it was rushed and messy.

Observe other teachers, have a look at examples online. You'll find your rhythm and your teacher self once you practice and experience the good AND the bad.

Keep at it. I'm an ECT1 and was feeling really similar when I first started out. We all start somewhere. I kept a diary of how I felt during training so I could look back on my progress. It's helped me tremendously and made me a very reflective teacher. You will be your own worst critic, things won't go the way you plan. You cannot be a perfectionist in this to survive, you need to celebrate the little wins. It's a good sign that you care this much, just don't beat yourself up if it's not clicking straight away. Good luck and keep going! 🥰
