Discipline in the classroomn
Classroom management is a top concern among teachers and parents within the education community. Problem solving is a valid concern for teachers of any grade level. Teachers must have a clear, organized plan for handling classroom problems. This plan should be well defined with clear rules and consequences. Discipline in the classroom is an issue all teachers deal every day in their classroom. The first step in dealing with students is to get to know each student’s personality. Each child has a different background and family history. This process should begin soon after school starts by reviewing the students’ academic and confidential files. Teachers must search for patterns of behavior in the comment section of past report cards. Major events in the child’s family history such as divorce and abuse can lead to changes in students’ behavior. Teachers must be cautious not to stereotype students before they have an opportunity to develop their own opinions during the school year. Developing positive connections with students’ parents can contribute significantly to success and to your success as a teacher. In reality, teachers and parents are partners- both concerned with the learning and problems, and growth of the students in their care. I believe a teacher must be involved in the everyday problems among students. The teacher sets the tone for the environment of the classroom. The students will often “test” the teacher by seeing how much they can get away with. Teachers should be firm and fair when dealing with student behavior. Teachers should not ignore the petty situations, otherwise those situations often develop into larger, more serious problems. Teachers must also use a wide range of resources when dealing with student discipline. Involve the parents as much as possible when problem arise. Daily notes, home visits, and conferences all provide a base of communication between the school and home. Every school’s guidance counselor is a valuable resources. With more time to talk with the students, the counselor can often search deeper for solutions. The last resource is documentation of student problems and parent conferences. Detailed student records are crucial to the success of the teacher in the area of classroom management. When dealing with difficult students, teacher documentation often becomes the center of meetings between the principal and parents. Relationships with students will have many dimensions. Principally, teacher must see that each student as much as possible ; this is primary responsibility as a professional teacher. Teacher will need to establish relationships with a great diversity of students based on mutual respect, caring and concern. Without attention to this personal realm, their effectiveness as a teacher will be limited. In addition, teachers are significant model for students’ attitudes and behaviors. Teachers should establish warm, positive relationship with each student and make a plan for a more acceptable way of behaving. School discipline is a hot topic in communities all around the world. A teacher with genuine concern for students will find a system of rules and consequences that will enable the students to learn and the teachers to teach.
