    Slide 1:Discipline through Dignity and Hope for Challenging Youth by Curwin and Mendler

    Chapter 10 presented by: Kristin Frederick Kelly Goldsborough Jessica DellaRose Carli Sutcliffe Priscilla Bower-Sterling

    Slide 2:What is Discipline with Dignity?

    Curwin and Mendler believe that students dignity is key to their behavior in a classroom. They believe that a students dignity must be fostered and keep intact for any hope of success. When a students dignity is threatened they react by misbehaving. A teacher must promote students self-confidence, self-esteem and self-respect in order to curve misbehavior. Curwin and Mendler also believe that students should take ownership in making their own decisions.

    Slide 3:Directions

    You should have a treasure box on your desk. Open your treasure box and remove your treasure map. On your treasure map there should be an X. That is where you are going to start your hunt. Look for the landmark where your X is located, and find that in the room. At each station you will meet your pirate leader, be nice or they will make you walk the plank. Each pirate leader will give you the directions for that station. After eight minutes the pirate leaders will direct you to the next station. We will be moving clockwise. Please move to your landmark.

    Slide 4:Case Study One Kristina Will Not Work

    Kristina, in Mr. Jakes class, is quiet docile. She never disrupts class and does little socializing with other students. But despite Mr. Jakes best efforts, Kristina rarely completes an assignment. She doesnt seem to care. She is simply there, putting forth virtually no effert. How would Curwin and Mendler deal with Kristina?

    Slide 5:Case Study Two Sara Cannot Stop Talking

    Sara is a pleasant girl who participates in class activities and does most, though not all, of her assigned work. She cannot seem to refrain from talking to classmates, however. Her teacher, Mr. Gonzales, has to speak to her repeatedly during lessons, to the point that he often becomes exasperated and loses his temper. What suggestions would Curwin and Mendler give Mr. Gonzales to help with Saras misbehavior?

    Slide 6:Case Study Three Joshua Clowns and Intimidates

    Joshua larger and louder than his classmates, always wants to be the center of attention, which he accomplishes through a combination of clowning and intimidation. He makes wise remarks, talks back to the teacher, utters a variety of sound-effect noises, and makes limitless sarcastic comments and put-downs his classmates. Other students will not stand up to him, apparently fearing his verbal and physical aggression. His teacher, Miss Pearl, has come to her wits end. What do you find in Curwin and Mendlers work that might help Miss Pearl deal with Joshua?

    Slide 7:Case Study Four Tom Is Hostile and Defiant

    Tom has appeared to be in his usual foul mood ever since arriving in class. On his way to sharpen his pencil, he bumps into Frank, who complains. Tom tells him loudly to shut up. Miss Baines, the teacher, says Tom go back to your seat. Tom wheels around and says heatedly, Ill go when Im damned good and ready! How would Curwin and Mendler have Miss Baines deal with Tom?
