Since September I have been working with some small groups of pupils (secondary) but am not a trained teacher, only a HLTA. My problem is that I simply don't seem to have the 'classroom presence' that most teachers seem to have. I follow the behaviour policy and hand out warnings, keep them in at break etc but just don't feel as if I have a basic level of respect from the pupils I am teaching. It doesn't help that I just don't have one of those loud 'teacher' voices and am naturally quite softly spoken - so what other techniques can I use? Any advice gratefully received!
