• Ten tips that can lead to successful classroom management and discipline.

• These tips can help you cut down on discipline problems and leave you with fewer interruptions and disruptions.

Management of disciplinary problems in the class

1. It's Easier to Get Easier • Many teachers make the mistake of starting

the school year with a poor discipline plan. Students quickly assess the situation in each class and realize what they will be allowed to get away with. Once you set a precedent of allowing a lot of disruptions, it can be very hard to start better classroom management and discipline techniques. However, it is never tough to get easier as the year goes on. While you don't have to follow the adage, "Never smile until Christmas," it does have its merits.


2. Fairness is Key

• Students have a distinct sense of what is and what is not fair. You must act fairly for all students if you expect to be respected. If you do not treat all students equitably, you will be labelled as unfair students will not be keen to follow your rules. Make sure that if your best student does something wrong, they too get punished for it


3. Deal with Disruptions with as Little Interruption as Possible

• When you have classroom disruptions, it is imperative that you deal with them immediately and with as little interruption of your class momentum as possible. If students are talking amongst themselves and you are having a classroom discussion, ask one of them a question to try to get them back on track. If you have to stop the flow of your lesson to deal with disruptions, then you are robbing students who want to learn of their precious in-class time.


4. Avoid Confrontations in Front of Students

• Whenever there is a confrontation in class there is a winner and a loser. Obviously as the teacher, you need to keep order and discipline in your class. However, it is much better to deal with discipline issues privately than cause a student to 'lose face' in front of their friends.


5. Stop Disruptions with a Little Humour

• Sometimes all it takes is for everyone to have a good laugh to get things back on track in a classroom. Many times, however, teachers confuse good humour with sarcasm. While humour can quickly diffuse a situation, sarcasm may harm your relationship with the students involved. Use your best judgment but realize that what some people think as funny others find to be offensive.


6. Keep High Expectations in Your Class

• Expect that your students will behave, not that they will disrupt. Reinforce this with the way you speak to your students. When you begin the day, tell your students your expectations. For example, you might say, "During this whole group session, I expect you to raise your hands and be recognized before you start speaking. I also expect you to respect each other's opinions and listen to what each person has to say."


10. Over plan

• Free time is something teachers should avoid. By allowing students time just to talk each day, you are setting a precedent about how you view academics and your subject. To avoid this, over plan. When you have too much to cover, you'll never run out of lessons and you will avoid free time. You can also fill up any left over time with mini-lessons as described elsewhere on this site.


8. Be Consistent

• One of the worst things you can do as a teacher is to not enforce your rules consistently. If one day you ignore misbehaviors and the next day you jump on someone for the smallest infraction, your students will quickly lose respect for you. Your students have the right to expect you to basically be the same everyday. Moodiness is not allowed. Once your lose your student's respect, you also lose their attention and their desire to please you.


9. Make Rules Understandable

• You need to be selective in your rules (no one can follow 180 rules consistently). You also need to make them clear. Students should understand what is and what is not acceptable. Further, you should make sure that the consequences for breaking your rules are also clear and known beforehand.


10. Start Fresh Everyday

• This tip does not mean that you discount all previous infractions, i.e. if they have three tardiness then today means four. However, it does mean that you should start teaching your class each day with the expectation that students will behave.

Hindrance in managing disciplinary problems

Discipline with Dignity (DWD)

is one of the most widely practiced behavior classroom management philosophies in the world. Founded by Dr. Richard Curwin and Dr. Allen Mendler (1980, 1988), the program is now utilized in more than 12 different countries.* Teaching and reinforcing responsible human behavior is the core of Discipline with Dignity.* Curwin and Mendler identify strategies for working with children who are physically aggressive and explode without provocation. The basic strategies include prevention, action, and resolution.

Discipline with Dignity (DWD)

• Curwin and Mendler believe there are four types of consequences, logical, conventional, generic, and instructional. A logical consequence is one consequence that would naturally occur as the result of the misbehavior. Generic consequences usually take the form of warnings or choices for the student to change behaviors. Conventional are frequently used and usually ineffective with hard to manage students.

Discipline with DignityThe use of consequences and how they are used is extremely important. Curwin and Mendler make the following suggestions:

1) Always implement a consequence when

a rule is broken. 2) Select the most appropriate

consequence. 3) State the rule/consequence. 4) Be private. 5) Do not embarrass the student

Discipline with Dignity

6) Do not get involved in a power struggle. 7) Control your anger. 8) Sometimes it is best to let the student choose the consquence. 9) The professional always looks for ways to help the client.

* Three Dimensional Discipline Plan that focuses on preventing discipline problem from occurring.* It is an integration of many discipline approaches and includes elements from Skinner, Jones, Dreikurs, Canter & Glasser.* However Curwin & Mendler’s focus on maintaining student dignity and teaching responsible behavior.

Discipline with DignityWolfgang(2001) relates the Discipline with Dignity method created by Curwin and Mendler as similiar to Glasser in that they are "concerned with not destroying the motivation of a student through discipline actions. The central goal of all discipline actions is to preserve the student's interest in learning and life in school-thus their dignity."
