  1. Authors: H. Jerome Freiberg, University of Houston Chris A. Huzinec, Houston Independent School District Stacy M. Templeton, University of Houston Presentation By: Tyler Augedahl Classroom Management—A Pathway To Student Achievement:A Study of Fourteen Inner-City Elementary Schools

  2. Introduction • The study occurred in the Southwest United States. • 14 schools included as test group • Consistency Management and Cooperative Discipline (CMCD) • Study compared results of math and reading tests of test group to control students • 350 Test Students • 350 Control Students

  3. Introduction • Study was conducted to see if their was a link between test scores in reading and math and better classroom management because disruptions: • Steal valuable teaching and learning time • Hurt positive school climates and student performance • Inhibit how and what teachers feel they can teach • Also, zero tolerance programs that result in suspension or expulsion cause students fall farther behind.

  4. Profile of CMCD • CMCD was founded by the author • CMCD is primarily used as part of reform interventions in inner-city, high poverty communities. • Provides teachers, administrators, students, and other school staff with the tools needed to build community and organizational capacity within their schools. • Emphasizes eliminating problems before they begin by: • Improving school climate and student behavior • Effectively managing instructional time

  5. CMCD Findings • Significantly increases teacher and student attendance • Reduce office discipline referrals • Increase student achievement in Math and Reading • Create healthier school climate • Improve classroom and school learning environment

  6. How does CMCD Work? • Presents teachers with systems to facilitate • Classroom Management • Instructional Organization • Planning • Student Self-discipline • Engaging Learning Environments

  7. Central Themes of CMCD • There are 5 central themes of CMCD • Prevention • Caring • Organization • Cooperation • Community • Almost 100 strategies support the five themes

  8. Method • 700 Students were tested • Test Group:350 students randomly selected from 14 different schools • Schools were matched on similarities in enrollment, percentages of ethnicities, and economically disadvantaged • Pretest was collected in Spring of 1999 and 2000 • Posttest data was collected in the Spring of 2001 and 2002 after two years of CMCD • Posttest data collected when students were in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade

  9. Method • CMCD is implemented in 3 phases • Classroom Implementation • School Wide Focus • Building Site Capacity

  10. Results • CMCD had a statistically significant effect on the reading and math scores of test group when compared to control students • Math Posttest Scores • CMCD students scored in the 67th percentile • Control students scored in the 50th percentile • Reading Posttest Scores • CMCD students scored in the 64th percentile • Control students scored in the 50th percentile

  11. Limitations • Change occurs in context • Implementation takes time and doesn’t happen overnight • CMCD only provides management strategies • Does not provide subject based curriculum • Other programs could have contributed to success of test students • Move It Math (MIM) • Success for All (SFA)

  12. Educational Significance of CMCD • More time to teach equals more time to learn: • Fewer interruptions during instruction time • Better classroom organization • Better student engagement • Better teacher planning • Survey of teachers indicated that teachers saved 26 minutes/day as a result of CMCD

  13. Educational Significance of CMCD • Creates a climate for learning • Students are engaged and involved • Teachers and students view each other as partners • Teachers report less stress • Reduces number of mental health days used • Children have important roles in the classroom • Children don’t want to be late or absent
