Readers Respond: Strategies for Effective Classroom Discipline

Responses: 3

By , About.com Guide

Classroom discipline is a concern for many teachers. Sometimes, the strategies we are using just don't seem to work with a specific group of students. For example, one year I was given a class with a number of strong personalities. One student in particular became increasingly hostile towards me. It was only with the advice of other teachers on how to deal with confrontational students that I was able to eventually control the situation. It is important that we share any strategies for classroom discipline that we have found particularly effective in order to help other teachers in a similar situation. Share Your Strategies

how to deal with confrontational student

Classroom discipline needs adjustment, cooperation and students must get involve in. Dealing with number of students is indeed different in dealing only with a son or a daughter. Just like what a mother does at home. therefore teacher have to adjust into situation that students must comply and obey. But rules must be cooperative and not easy to forget. In doing so students must be involved in creating and implementing rules inside and outside the classroom. they must develop self responsibility and of course freely to admit whatever its aftermath. and not with reporting to higher official nor subject to demanding a teacher..........

i do commit

Classroom discipline for some is a fact or a myth although as a practicing teacher we should face the reality that its normal. How to manage students comes first among all others from the i do, i commit, i serve, are commitments which come from the body and soul of every educator. Serving students is what we are here for, we function, we serve, souls etching their way to meet a higher goal. we are here as teachers to be with them coach,mentor, referree,counselor to name a few is what we got. I do,I commit, I serve simple phrases to walk our talk isnt it that we are after the development of their souls to transfer learnings and values to others be it at home, school, and community. I appeal it should start from our ownselves how could you give if you don,t have the personality , the command, the charism needed as a noble teacher. You start it now .
