Online Class: Defensive Teaching - They Don't Teach This Course in College!
If you're teaching today you should know how to defend themselves while doing your job. This course contains numerous suggestions a teacher can use to automatically protect themselves against conflict with students and parents.
College courses, supervisors, administrators, and books all tell us what to do in the 'ideal' class situation. Well this may sound radical but very few teachers have an 'ideal' class situation. If you do, this course is not for you.
We have been cursed out, had spitballs thrown at us, been threatened, had money/wallets/purses/cell phone, etc. stolen from us….and in some cases, the parents seem to be teaching kids that “the teacher is the enemy”. How do we deal with this new breed of students and parents? The stern look does not work any more. They tend to say “ooo, she is screw-facing you!” and here comes the attitudes. They can’t stay after school because “I have to get my bus”. If you call home, there’s a chance you will be blamed, yelled at, get someone who wants to ague or even get cursed out. If a student falsely accuses you of improper conduct, you can lose your reputation.
But still, the teacher is expected to be a total professional. You are not supposed to yell. You are not supposed to say “shut up” even after you have said “be quiet” or “stop talking” ten or twelve times. How do you defend and protect yourself? This course can really help you.

Defensive Teaching THEY DON'T TEACH THIS COURSE IN COLLEGE You've heard of defensive driving? Well this course is called Defensive Teaching. College courses, supervisors, administrators, and books all tell us what to do in the 'ideal' class situation. Well this may sound radical but very few teachers have an 'ideal' class situation. If you do, this course is not for you.
It's a new day. I have been teaching since 1972 and have never seen anything like this. To quote a fellow teacher "We old timers feel like a square peg in a round hole". I am just a few years from retirement and wish to share some survival techniques with you. I will relate actual incidents, show how I defended myself, then analyze what I should have done. Defensive Teaching is a progressive technique. As you work through the course, you will notice my progression. I will also focus on techniques other teachers have used - that work! Once you finish this course, you can pull ideas and techniques from it that will fit your personality and beliefs. NO one will agree with everything discussed. But it won't hurt to try it. Something you learn in this course will work for you. If not, consider another profession (smile).
