- How to Not Enter Into Useless Arguments With Students
[Reference-and-Education] Imagine every time you give a direction students quietly complying without answering back or questioning what you say. Get ready to make that a reality.
- A Closed System of Discipline - Know the Results You Are Going to Get Beforehand
[Reference-and-Education] Math is a closed system. There is not question of whether two plus two will equal four tomorrow. Can classroom discipline be a closed system also? Can you know for sure if your classrooms will behave well or must you leave it up to chance? As for me, I make sure I have a closed system.
- Pulling Behavior Problems Up by the Roots
[Reference-and-Education] Hey, I don't mean to compare dealing with discipline issues with pulling up weeds, but...well, okay, yes I do. Rumor has it that teachers don't live long after retirement. Or they don't stay in teaching long enough to get to that concern.
- Rules Without Resentment - Part 1
[Reference-and-Education] Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the classroom, the students figured out a new way to get under your skin...if you only 'discipline' students, but do not offer anything in return, you will breed resentment. On the other hand, if you offer a lot, but do not demand respect, you breed disrespect..
- Keep the Small Stuff Big - Classroom Psychology
[Reference-and-Education] Is it worth your while to bother students about minor misbehaviors? You bet it is.
- Eliminating the Middle Man - the Myth of Giving Warnings
[Reference-and-Education] Okay, you've got about 25 students in your room. Someone told you when behavior issues arise, there should be a sequence of events that ensues, starting with a warning. What warnings do is insure that all of your students know they can get away with certain behaviors at least once a class before any real consequence takes place.
- How to Get Any Student to Behave Well All of the Time
[Reference-and-Education] You probably love teaching--inspiring students, opening their minds, imparting knowledge--but there always seems to be that discipline issue hovering over your teaching day, causing you stress and anxiety, and creating a nagging gloomy backdrop to your experience as a teacher. Maybe it's one disrespectful student in Period 2. Or a group of them in period 4.
- The Role of Accountability in Classroom Management
[Reference-and-Education] Accountability is a crucial element for the effectiveness of any family, business, political system or--classroom. To maintain a positive environment in your classroom at all times, you are going to have to make students accountable for every action or behavior that does not contribute to that environment; and what accountability really means is that there is a significant consequence for not behaving properly.
- Stopping Problems Before They Get in the Classroom
[Reference-and-Education] Teaching should not be the running of the bulls. Too often teachers let students into the ring (classroom) anyway they want to enter, and then try to get control of these raging bulls after the bell rings. So in they come--energetic, wild, frenzied, talkative, distracted.
