fight in class

Two boys had a fight in class. This reflection is about how I reacted.  

This was happened on my teaching practice, when I taught one of my lessons, in centers time. All students was worked in their activities and I tried to walk around them and see them if they need any helps, while my MCT and MST observed me and evaluated me. 

The students were very busy in their activities. Suddenly two of students stand up and started to fight in front of the class and the teachers. The teachers looked at me and watched me how I can deal with the problem. First, I tried to stop them. They didn’t respond and complete their fight. Then, I warned them if they didn’t stop I will use the behavior chart. Also they didn’t stop. Finally, I used the traffic light behavior chart, then when they stop. And I change their place by put each one in different center.

When they fight I felt very nervous especially when the teachers looked at me. This is the first time I faced this problem in my lessons. I tried to fix the problem quickly without shouting and feel angry. When I solved the problem I felt comfortable and very proud. Also, my MCT miss Kasha was very pleased from what I did.

In the future I will try to use many strategies and engagement activities to make students busy in their work.
