Teaching Methods For A Classroom Discipline

Since adolescence in the fifth grade are developing their social and emotional skills, it is imperative to use teaching strategies that promote healthy communications between students, and teachers. “Techniques that are easy to integrate into your everyday interactions with students that support the discipline plan are: communicating positive expectations, correcting students in a positive way, developing classroom pride, demonstrating caring, and preventing and reducing your own frustration and stress (Boynton, 2005)”. By following the mentioned techniques, I can envision a classroom that will be self-controlled, where students can take pride in knowing that they contributed to the success of their education. “Self- control levels the playing field, and puts the keys to achievement in students’ hands (Nathan DeWall, 2014)”.

Teaching requires creating a classroom where all students are able to participate in the learning. Chapter 1 discusses the importance language, expectations, and integration. Chapter 1 introduces the topic of multicultural teaching.

The aspects of withitness, momentum and smoothness, group alerting, overlapping, and challenge arousal are all important when trying to reduce classroom misbehavior. The teacher’s ability to know what’s going on in all parts of the classroom at all times is essential and makes the students pay attention because they never know if the teacher is watching them. The factor of momentum and smoothness is also important because the teacher needs to get lessons started promptly, smoothly, and provide transitions. Other factors such as keeping students alert, actively involve in their learning, and holding students responsible for their learning helps classroom management.

These interactions can both prevent and cause behavioural issues within the classroom, as they are the basis upon which the lessons and relationship are built. All of these interactions are planned to a degree by the class teacher in their short term planning, allowing for a certain degree of behaviour management to be planned. Haydn (2007) suggested that the key to behavioural management is in good preparation, however it is impossible to plan for every aspect of behaviour as not every issue can be predicted. It is suggested that children often behave undesirably when they do not know what to do and the correct communication can reduce this; planning for the right levels of teacher/child talk at different points in the lesson is vital. During the introduction to a subject or lessons, when instructions are given it is important that the class teacher has the full attention of the class, and so the transmission method of teaching would be appropriate, as an unclear understanding of instructions can cause children to misbehave (Dean 2001). However throughout the remainder of the lesson, in order to keep children engaged in their learning, and reduce negative behaviour, the type of talk within the classroom should be varied. The use of group or paired work has been argued to be a factor in reducing negative behaviour as it allows children to witness alternative ways of behaving through working with

Kindergarten classrooms will run efficiently when students follow procedures and rules. When the students choose to follow them they will get rewarded or pay the consequence. When all of the students are following the rules there will be less interruptions. Procedures, rules, and a reward system allows more time for conductive learning. In everyday routines, “children have to suppress undesirable behaviors in order to follow their caregivers’ requests” (Kopp, 1982, p. 208).

Despite the breakdowns I would experience from not understanding what was being taught in class, I was able to improve my situation. Instead of suffering in silence with my confusion, I began asking my teacher more questions during class lectures. I would even come in at seven in the morning to discuss my problem about understanding the logic behind the math with my teacher. Not only did I speak with my teacher more, I also bought a study book for the class and began watching Chemistry videos from Bozeman and Khan Academy to teach myself any topics that were not clear to me during class.

The LEA lesson plan created in Literacy 1, demonstrate my ability to effectively utilize of a variety of appropriate instructional methods. The LEA lesson encompasses teacher modeling, whole group writing, independent writing, and kinesthetic, verbal, and visual learning methods. Furthermore, this lesson plan addresses objectives, assessments, and the various rates of learning in the classroom.

Behavioural management was defined by theorist BF Skinner as; ‘the practice of providing consequences for both positive and negative behaviour.’ Effective teachers tend to believe that all students at some time will misbehave, it is natural for children. The result is they have a more extensive range of skills to control this behaviour. Low Key Responses are techniques and strategies designed to prevent the occurrence of discipline problems in the first place. The techniques are used for class control and all intended to create and maintain a classroom atmosphere conductive to learning. By keeping students busily and happily engaged, behaviour problems are reduced to a minimum.

(5-10 minutes) Teachers will read the article: Improving student achievement by extending school: Is it just a matter of time? San Francisco: WestEd. Each table will be assigned to a specific page number, staff members will read and discuss those pages then they will share with the rest of the staff members.

For many years, the physically disabled and mentally disabled alike have been placed in a different classroom setting from the “normal” children in schools. This stemmed from the IDEA act which stands for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act that was passed in 1975. The idea was that students with suspected disabilities were to be evaluated before being placed in another classroom setting. This doesn’t go without saying that every child with learning and attention issues qualifies for special education services under this act, but then where do they go?

Teaching through the years I have noticed that helping a learner succeed in academic roles is not only preparing engaging whole group lessons. Besides rich instruction and flexible grouping, responding to certain interventions it is necessary in order for the learner to succeed in college, career, and life (CCSS, 2015). Therefore, teachers must incorporate strategies that will lead to increased academic performance (Douglas, Burton & Reese-Durham, 2008). Douglas et al. (2008) mention that it has been established that children develop and learn differently; therefore, it is essential that the strategies employed, reflect the changing view points. Kirby (Laureate Education, 2014a) mentions that response to intervention (RTI) before use to be

To support a child to the fullest with a learning ability, you must maintain specific teaching strategies that are accommodated and appropriate, therefore providing the child with extra time for reading and writing will help. Provide the child with a variety of letters and numbers, so the child can see what they look like to perform the task, provide the child with correct answer to the problem for demonstration, as a model to gain some understanding of the assignments. Make sure to make accommodations for work assignments, by allowing oral reports, video presentation, cassette tapes, posters etc., to support child learning

It’s important for teachers to be able to have students practice appropriate behavior in the classroom. Linda Alston got in the habit of during lessons to get students attentions before they start to use inappropriate behavior and encourage others to do the same. “A way to give students the needed rehearsals is through the systematic use of forms for responding and discussing, strategically incorporating movement active, effective attention signals for procedural movements, and consistent collaborative group work”

My time in Mrs.Farr’s classroom has been incredibly insightful to the world of being a teacher. I knew before going into my first observation that being an educator is not the most glamorous job out there, but I was able to witness the positive impact that teachers can have on their pupils. Seeing the occupation from this side of the glass I can really see myself becoming a teacher in the future. From interacting with the students to helping prepare assignments, I enjoyed it all and found it gratifying. However, I do wish to observe more classrooms, particularly more difficult to manage classes. Mrs.Farr’s students were very well behaved pretty much the entire time I observed. The only instance of students really needing discipline was during the few number of times I observed another teacher’s classroom. One of my objectives was to witness a variety of ways teachers can help their kids stay in
