Classroom Discipline And Management Literature Review

Corporal punishment, as a measure of correction or of maintaining discipline and order in schools, is permitted. However, it shall be used only when all other alternative means of discipline have failed, and then only in reasonable form and upon the recommendation of the principal. If found necessary, it shall be administered by a certificated administrator in the presence of a witness who is an employee of the school district. It should never be inflicted in the presence of other pupils, nor without a witness. Corporal punishment shall be administered only by swatting the buttocks with a paddle. When it becomes necessary to use corporal punishment, it shall be administered so that there can be no chance of bodily injury or harm. Striking a student on the head or face is not permitted. The teacher or principal shall submit a report to the superintendent, explaining the reason for the use of corporal punishment as well as the details of the administration of the same.

Student discipline is one of the most important aspects of the classroom. I believe that structure and classroom management are two components that contribute to this greatly. Teachers in the beginning of the year must implement rules and routines that all Students are expected to follow. It would also be beneficial if the students took part in creating these rules. Within the first weeks of school, the teacher and students should be practicing these procedures so that students can get comfortable with the routine and know what is expected of them. If the students are aware of the rules of the classroom then there will be no surprises when the consequence is given for breaking them.

The way a child is disciplined has been a long argued topic, more specifically though the use of the corporal punishment and whether or not it should be illegal to actually perform. The corporal punishment is in fact not actually illegal in Australia, unlike many other countries around the world. We have taken the power away from schools and teachers but have not disallowed parents or legal guardians to smack a child, as long as it is done within the law. The lines between corporal punishment and child abuse are often blurred, reasonable force; is the phrase used to determine if the action is to violent or not. Throughout this essay it will display reasons for the smack to become prohibited, and also offer alternative measures that should be

Although I enjoyed the novel Lord of the Flies, I don’t completely agree with the author’s sentiment that if left along, people would grow to become brutish, selfish, and unruly. And although I do believe that human beings need some sort of social structure or guidelines because we are social animals, I whole heartedly believe that human are basically good and that if let to develop in a nurturing environment, we would grow into self-responsible and noble creatures. I believe that acts such as selfishness are definitely learned behaviors. Therefore, I think as my approach to classroom management, I would adopt the approach of a “nurturing” supporter. I believe the role of teacher is someone

What do you think your students’ goals and concerns will be at the beginning of the year? How can your classroom management plan accommodate them?

Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), based on the work of B.F.Skinner, surmises that behaviours can be limited by their exposure to the antecedent conditions, for example, if Greg sits near the window, he will tend to get up and move away from his desk because he does not like the bright light. He behaves better when he is seated on the far side of the room away from the windows. The antecedent condition is the “bright sunlight and the desk position” (Lyons, Ford, & Slee, 2013, p. 151). My personal classroom management philosophy aligns with this theory as I believe it is better to pre-empt a situation and control the behaviours through slight interventions rather than dealing with a major behavioural episode.

The article I chose was “3 Things New Teachers Need to Know about Classroom Management” written by Ryan McCarty. The article is about three different points that McCarty thinks that all first year teachers should know. He wrote this article because he struggled with classroom management. The first tip McCarty writes, “Teach time-saving routines and procedures” (2014, para. 3). When teaching producers and routines at the beginning of the year never assume that the students know how to do basic producers. At the beginning of the year go over routines and produces, but then make the students practice them over and over again. The second tip that McCarty gives, “Balance Rules with Relationships” (2014, para. 5). McCarty wants new first year teachers

Once again, my student teaching time has given me new challenges that I had not encountered to this point. As students have become more comfortable with me as their teacher, their behavior has slightly changed and is no longer the quiet, hesitant students that I had started with. It is nice to have them now willing to participate but they are beginning to blurt out answers and not properly raise their hands. It is these minor things that they are starting to neglect to do and causing slight problems with classroom management. Even though these problems do occasionally bubble up it provides me with the chance to use some of my classroom management skills that I have not been able to work on.

Classroom management is one of the most important roles played by teachers because it determines teaching success. Effective teachers appear to be effective with students of all achievement levels regardless of the levels of heterogeneity in their classes. Effective classroom managers are those who understand and use specific techniques. Even if the school they work in is highly ineffective, individual teachers can produce powerful gains in student learning. Many techniques include classroom design, rules, discipline, scheduling, organization and communication.

After meeting my teacher and seeing the overall design of the classroom I have found some positives and negatives of the design. In order to have an effective classroom management plan, you need to consider the five processes of classroom management, organizing the physical design, establishing rules and routines, developing relationships, implementing engaging instruction and addressing discipline. The first step, organizing the physical design is one of the most essential step towards and effective classroom. When considering the design of the classroom you should consider the children’s security and shelter, social contact, and task instrumentality. I strongly believe a child must feel comfortable in order to want to learn. If you student

The theory of discipline has been debated for decades. Arguments over how it should be carried out and how harsh it should be has been discussed. One aspect of discipline has been shoved into the dark, the effect on the child. No matter how much it is spoken of children remember what happened to them in their childhood. Whether they were pleasant or not can lead to problems later in life. One debate that shall soon be settled deals with the spanking of children.

My classroom will be like the Elysian Fields to a fallen Greek soldier. Antecedent to the arrival of students I will subconsciously encourage relaxation, energy, joy, and boost cognitive functions using my classroom environment , I. e., blue, yellow, green and orange walls,a bubbling aquarium, and cinnamon, jasmine, vanilla, citrus,and peppermint aromas. Every student will learn a fun fact about all their classmates and if they need extra points they will tell me a fun fact about a student of my choosing. I will have knowledge of their behavior by daily observation,attaining personal information and I will make inquiries about the child previous night's activities when they enter my class. Negative

When I think of my future classroom, I imagine it to a home. I plan for my students and I to be a “big family”, and it will still be a learning environment. While I am teaching a lesson I would like for my students to be quite when they should be listening and participating when it is time for them to participate. I am there to guide their learning, the students will be allowed to share, correct, and exchange information when the time is appropriate. I will have the traditional teaching style which is the students paying attention to the teacher, then once the students seem to understand the content they will then be able to move around and interact with other student in either group discussions or at the learning centers throughout the classroom. My classroom will be nice and bright to keep up the positive energy, and it will still be conducted as a learning environment for my students, and they will understand that everything that they learn in my classroom will travel with them till they are old, and they will be able to understand why they are in school and what their purpose is in life.

The role that the teacher plays in molding student behavior is the rule keeper, the love giver, and the judge. Every teacher needs 3-4 standard rules that will be followed. For me, the rules students will be expected to follow are:
