Strict Disciplinarian Teacher Personality

By Melissa Kelly, About.com

You have the Strict Disciplinarian Personality:

You love the sound of silence. You pride yourself on keeping order in your world - your room. If students speak out of turn or pass notes or worse, you are right on it. While students don't necessarily consider you their best friend, learning does take place in your room.

Seriously though...:

You have to be careful. Many times strict disciplinarians have problems with balance. It is hard to balance being strict with not becoming overbearing. Students should want to come to your class to learn. They should not be afraid of you. Stay away from yelling and make sure that you are always consistent and fair. You can have your 'peace' and enjoy it too.
