Manage Problems
Teachers should determine the cause of troubling behavior before attempting to correct it. Reflecting
upon the factors influencing a problem will provide a framework for intervention. For example, if a child is
regularly misbehaving when he or she is sitting next to a specific friend, rearranging seating may be the answer.
When possible, teachers should help students learn how to control and modify their behavior before it escalates
into a larger issue. Teachers need to work together to reinforce intervention strategies. This will underscore
behavioral expectations and maximize success.

Juniors
Dont let the junior age group make you think it is easier to teach older students. Its not. Teaching this age group has its own challenges. Being a teenager is not an easy task, and with so much changes going on in their lives and their bodies, their confidence is up and down. You will find that your juniors have begun to care about other peoples opinions and how they are seen by others, so make sure activities are comfortable.
The best way to make this lessons for juniors work is to make them relatable. The first lesson will always be awkward no matter what, as the students are just getting to know you and their classmates. So use the first lesson to get to know them. Do this by doing a quiz, or a questionnaire to find out their favorite movies, music and things they do in their free time. Once you have this information, you are able to get to know their world, and they have had a chance to learn about each other, often finding common interests. Now that you know what their interests are, use them to make your future lessons more relevant. If the lesson is structured around a topic they understand or have an interest in, you will more easily keep them engaged.
Not only can you make use of the students interests, also make use of popular media channels they use. For example set out an activity where they need to make a snap chat video in English, or write up a good Instagram caption. This will encourage them to use English in their everyday lives and understand various situations that certain language is used in. Keep it fun as always, and never show judgement to something one of the students likes or follows as this can be a huge step backwards in their comfort in the classroom.
Adults
Many new teachers are afraid of teaching adult classes as most of the time you will be teaching someone older and more experienced than you. Dont let this bother you. Remember they have come to learn a skill from you and they are feeling just as insecure for being taught by someone younger. Due to this dynamic, make the classroom a neutral place.
