Confrontation and Classroom Discipline

Quick Teaching Tip

By , About.com Guide

It is important to avoid confrontations in front of students as part of an overall classroom management and discipline program. 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. It is not a good idea to make an example out of a disciplinary issue. Even though other students might get the point, you might have lost any chance of actually teaching that student anything in your class. More Tips for Successful Classroom Management.
