  1. Classroom Discipline “He who cannot obey cannot command.” ~ Benjamin Franklin Matthew Reese ENGL 3241 Reese

  2. What Discipline Is Pronunciation: \di-sə-plən\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French, from Latin disciplina teaching, learning, from discipulus pupil Date: 13th century • Punishment • obsolete: instruction • a field of study • training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character • a. control gained by enforcing obedience or order b. orderly or prescribed conduct or pattern of behavior c. self-control • a rule or system of rules governing conduct or activity Reese

  3. What Discipline Is Not • Discipline in the classroom is not corporal punishment. Reese

  4. On Corporal Punishment Reese

  5. Some Facts • Classroom management is typically a source of anxiety for new teachers. • Due to classroom discipline issues, fewer educators than ever are teaching for an entire career. • Fewer people are willing to become teachers because of problems with school discipline. Reese

  6. Types of Discipline • Preventive discipline • Supportive discipline • Corrective discipline Reese

  7. Preventive Discipline Preventive discipline refers to strategies teachers use in the classroom to prevent student misbehaviors. Such strategies include: • assessment of student needs and expectations. • creation of a warm and nurturing classroom climate. • development of a set of rules and consequences. • development of a flexible daily routine. • making learning fun and attractive to the student. Reese

  8. Supportive Discipline Supportive discipline is appropriate when a situation arises when the teacher leads students back in the right direction if they begin to show signs of misbehavior. Supportive discipline helps students to regain self-control. Some tactics include: • nonverbal communication. • reminding students of expectations. • redirecting behavior. • avoiding power struggles. • invoking consequences. • preventing escalation. Reese

  9. Corrective Discipline This is not corrective discipline! Reese

  10. Corrective Discipline (cont’) When the situation has escalated beyond possible use of supportive discipline, corrective discipline may be in order. Corrective discipline involves the implementation of consequences or punishments for students that have misbehaved or broken the rules established through preventive discipline. Corrective discipline might include: • respectful removal of the student from the classroom environment. • one-on-one conferences between teacher and student or teacher and parent, as the case might require. • development of a behavioral plan. Reese

  11. Remember, then: Don’t lose your cool! Reese
