VIDEO: Student Defiance in the Classroom: What to Say Before It Escalates   When a student says, “No, I’m not doing that,” the next sentence matters. That moment can either stay calm — or turn into a power struggle in front of the entire class.   In my newest video, I share one simple classroom management phrase teachers can use when a student refuses to follow directions:   “I hear you. The direction is still the same. I’ll give you a minute, and then I’ll come back.”   This kind of calm, strategic language helps teachers correct behavior without escalating the situation.   If you teach K–12 and want practical classroom management strategies you can actually use tomorrow, this video is for you.   Watch the video and learn more about The Strategic Classroom at helpulearn.org   VIDEO: Student Defiance in the Classroom: What to Say Before It Escalates - https://lnkd.in/gYNV7a6j   #ClassroomManagement #TeacherSupport #StudentBehavior #DeEscalationStrategies #K12Teachers #TeacherLife #TheStrategicClassroom #BehaviorSupport
