Effective Teaching • Consistency • Responsible Behavior • Discipline • Discipline at its best • Positive People/Negative Feedback • Comfort Zone • Expectations • Responsibility • Attention
If we don’t succeed with prevention, often we don’t succeed. It embraces the teacher’s attitude as well as his or her skills.
VARIATIONVary your delivery of lessons and layout of the classroom.
POSITIVE INTERVENTIONSRefers to our role in responding to minor discipline problems in largely positive ways.
PROBLEM SOLVINGThis requires more creativity, more of our time, and more of our resources.
REFERRALShould be reserved for the chronically disruptive students who do not respond well to problem-solving interventions and students who are severely disruptive. If all resources are exhausted, referral becomes necessary.
FOUNDATIONS • To be effective educators, we must be effective disciplinarians. • Most students will accept discipline; however they will not accept disrespect. • Public rules, Private Discipline • Good consequences are not responsible for good discipline-prevention is. • We can mean business without being mean.
What we do is more important than how we feel. • Use a preponderance of nonverbal intervention techniques. • Establish clear cut routines and procedures. • Students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. • Don’t overuse the principal. Students’ idea of him/her only becomes diluted. Only WE can fix the classroom.
VITAL FUNCTIONS • ORGANIZATION. Wasting time is just as damaging as being late to class. • PREPARATION. If you are unprepared be prepared for the worst. • DON’T TAKE IT PERSONALLY;TAKE IT PROFESSIONALLY. Don’t respond emotionally. Emotional control is a must. • USE QUIET, RESPECTFUL INTERVENTIONS. Students love loud music but not loud teachers. • Be A TEACHER NOT A TEEN. Dress professionally, don’t disclose too much personal information about yourself. • Avoid publicly criticizing other teachers or school officials. Students listen. • COMMUNICATE POSITIVE AND HIGH EXPECTATIONS
