  4. Reading students’ body language Feet facing each other. They’ll probably goof off. Chapter 17

  5. Reading students’ body language Feet facing forward. They’ll probably keep working. Chapter 17

  6. If the student doesn’t get back to work… • Move in slowly • Don’t go public if you can help it. • If you’re normally moving around the classroom, it’s easy to have a quick word with a student without attracting attention. Chapter 17

  7. Eliminating backtalk If a student talks back or says rude things and you respond, the situation escalates. Pretty soon it’s a shouting match. So just don’t respond. It takes one fool to backtalk. It takes two fools to make a conversation out of it. Chapter 17

  8. Stay calm. Chapter 17

  9. Dealing with the unexpected • Some students who have behavioral or emotional problems may not react as we expect. We may have to adjust our approach for them. Chapter 19
