Casual Teacher Behaviour Management

Hi all, I’ve recently started working casual in high school and after a day at an all boys school I’ve found myself struggling.

I had a year 9 class of boys who were throwing things, yelling, purposely doing the wrong thing on their devices and ignoring all redirections and instructions. I asked the teacher next door (who popped her head in because of the noise) if I could send some boys to her and the students flat out refused me and the other teacher.

I made a list of names to report to their teacher (and told them I was - but not who) and this still didn’t deter them.

How am I meant to manage and teach a class of kids in which most are plain disrespectful and refusing to listen, ignoring me and doing whatever they want? Acting like I’m not even in there, or even looking me in the eyes when I tell them not to do something, then doing it.

It’s been really disheartening but I’m trying to not let it stop me from going back… so any and all advice will be much appreciated.

For context: I’m a young female teacher which probably doesn’t help.
