The problem: I’m a student teacher and find it incredibly difficult to pinpoint the perpetrators of bad behaviour when there are several children misbehaving at once. I find that, as a result, I am coming across as inconsistent because I’m not sanctioning some students who deserve it. I feel really frustrated about this, but I can’t work out how to apply sanctions consistently when I can’t tell who I should be applying them to. Do you have any suggestions for how I can improve my awareness of behaviour across the whole classroom?
