⟩ Questions about classroom discipline and the way you establish your authority. How do you handle a discipline problem? What about noise in the classroom? Are you a “tough” teacher or an “understanding” teacher? How do you handle a gifted child who is a discipline problem?
By having a set of classroom rules and consistently following your own guidelines – a clear set of behavioral expectations with clear consequences – you have a good chance of controlling the class. Give examples of rules and consequences. Simultaneously, present yourself as a good listener and adapter, flexible to individual students’ needs. If possible, give an example of where you had to work around your rule for a difficult student.
