The school is “committed to doing all that we can to ensure that the children in our care are healthy, safe and enjoy emotional well-being. We also have a fundamental duty of care to the adults who work in and visit our school”.

Chapter Three, entitled Bribes and Threats, from Beyond Discipline discussed many different tools such as coercion, punishment, and rewards being used for disciplining. These specific tools are counterintuitive and result in temporary compliance or even sometimes extreme behaviors. Because of these tools being used, it leads to disastrous outcomes and makes the teachers and schools uninviting and unproductive.

Another major issue that is addressed in the article is with the teachers and their teaching styles. The method in which most teachers teach their

As a HLTA, our target will be to promote a positive behaviour by treating every child with respect, without favoring one child over the other and by promoting equality and accepting a diverse capability of children. In order to establish expected behavior, values and attitudes from children/young people in the school, we need to always demonstrate the positive behaviour through the following actions. We need to o interact appropriately with each other in respectful ways, through speech, actions and relationships o treat each other with respect, courtesy and consideration and be inclusive, regardless of gender, race, religion, ethnicity, background, family or social circumstances; treating others as we wish to be treated ourselves; o talk and listen to one another in order to understand each other, making sure that we hear all sides and do not jump to conclusions; o be fair and consistent to each other; o value, take pride in and care for the school by looking after school property and equipment; o refrain from using foul and abusive language or threatening behaviour • Positive Reinforcement and

The author uses his teaching Bible experience to explain how it works. Three steps are presented to teach students good judgment.

This policy falls under this obligation group because of the rule about keeping the students safe. As an educator you are required to report any signs that one of your students is being abused or neglected. The reports must be in “good faith” and not just because one does not like the students parents or guardians. There will be both signs from the students and the parents. Some signs one will want to look for in the students is one has a sudden change in behavior or school performance, ones illness and injuries are left untreated, when one is anxious, paranoid, or scared, and when does not want to go home. Some signs in parents an educator should keep an eye out for is if they do not show concern about their child’s performance and health, does not care if capital punishment is used, and verbally talks bad about the child being bad or worthless. There will also be physical signs that you will want to keep data on, like injuries, absences, and cleanliness. If these types of signs prove to be persistent, then you will have to report

All adults who work within in a school environment have a responsibility to themselves and the school to model a high standard of behaviour, both in their dealings with the children and with every other adult within the school as their example of behaviour has a significant influence on the children’s behaviour. Good, strong teamwork between adults will encourage good behaviour in children. All staff must be effectively prepared and supported for their role and receive the appropriate training needed to support the children in their care. A child or young persons need for help and support must be properly co-ordinated

Review: Throuout the quarter, I have learned that because children learn differently it’s important for us as teachers to make sure that the classroom rules are clear for all children. If there is confusion it’s important for us teachers to explain them so that the children are not confused. Because if the classroom rules are unclear or not communicated enoght to the children they will negect the rules and do what they want. In addition, if the children don’t get discipline at home or don’t have clear established rules at home those children will have a harder time adjusting to having to follow directions more than a child who has a regualr sechedule and clear rules in and outside the home. Finally, rules are pro-active tools because, with

ADVISE ON EFFECTIVE WAYS OF IMPROVING CLASS DISCIPLINE AND LEARNER’S PERFOMANCE AT RABONNI CHRISTIAN SCHOOL,BRITS (MADIBENG DISTRICT). INTRODUCTION Rabboni Christian School (my school) should provide students with the educational foundation to build successful, independent lives. Classroom disruptions interfere with student achievement. Teachers must maintain discipline to create an effective learning environment. A combination of methods used in a consistent and fair manner typically offers the best approach to classroom discipline. Discpline is providing an environment in which positive teaching and positive learning can occur simultaneously. Discipline is not control from the outside; its order from within. BODY Teachers at my school should have a holistic approach in addressing discipline and learner performance. This can be achieved as a

It is a fact that classroom management and discipline has always been a challenge to pre-service teachers as they do not know and have not acquired the necessary skills to deal with unruly learners effectively. Often so, teachers in service use strategies that are incorrect or rather unacceptable; whether this is done intentionally or under certain desperation to gain control and respect of the learners. It is prevalent across the globe. Although the South African system has used corporal punishment for many years to maintain discipline and management in the classroom; there have always been other alternative ways which are effective and better as opposed to the harsh way of discipline. The Constitution of South Africa specifically banned the use of this harsh treatment because of the awareness that children are vulnerable and defenceless; therefore they are the ones who are at risk of being victims of crime, beatings and psychological trauma that are an ultimate result of being bullied by adults. My claim is that strategies used to maintain classrooms in public schools are not acceptable if they cause a negative effect to the development of our children. And I will argue that there are other alternatives that could be used to make sure that the classes run smooth and without causing any intimidation to either the learners or teachers in this industry, as the South African Journal of Education mentions that

Teachers’ beliefs influenced different tasks such as: selecting and presenting learning activities, preparing students for new language and checking their understanding, monitoring students’ learning, giving feedback, among others (Richards & Lockhart, 1994). I agree completely with this perception, because it is something that I have noticed since this course started: in the videos of my classmates, in the classes of my teachers, and in my own classes.
