  1. Classroom Discipline/Management By Katelin Hellyer

  2. The Problem It has been one month since the school year started and Mrs. Johnson has started to notice that one of her second graders, Suzy, has consistently failed to complete or turn in her homework. It is causing her to fall behind in class and her grade is being negatively impacted.

  3. Solution Number 1 Mrs. Johnson commanded Suzy to complete her homework and Suzy defiantly said “no.” She then said “Suzy, you have a choice. You can either sit down and complete your homework now or you can stay in during recess and do it.” Suzy still refused to do her homework. As a result, Mrs. Johnson took away Suzy’s recesses until she had completed all the homework she had not turned in for the past month. While all the other children went outside to play, Suzy stayed inside and worked on her homework with some help from Mrs. Johnson.

  4. Foundation This solution would fall under Lee Canter’s practice of assertive discipline

  5. Assumptions of Assertive Discipline • Students will misbehave • As a result, students must be forced to abide by the rules • Teachers have the right to teach without being interrupted by unruly, misbehaving students • Punishment will teach students not to break the rules while positive reinforcement will encourage them to be well-behaved

  6. Assertive Discipline Cont. • Dismiss the thought that there is any acceptable reason for misbehavior • Determine negative consequences for noncompliance • Students need to understand that there are consequences when you break rules just as there are rewards when you abide by them • The quickest and easiest solution to a problem

  7. Outcomes • Suzy starts to become antsy in class and cannot focus because she is never allowed a break from academics to go outside and get her energy out • Suzy becomes resentful of the teacher and does not want to come to school anymore • Suzy completes her homework because she is scared of the consequences if she does not

  8. Solution Number 2 Mrs. Johnson pulled Suzy out into the hallway during independent reading time and asked her why she was not completing her homework. Suzy admitted that she does not understand the homework and her parents are not willing to help her. She said she felt stupid and was scared to ask her classmates or Mrs. Johnson for help. Mrs. Johnson decides to slow down during class and more thoroughly explain each homework assignment and if that does not work, then she will provide Suzy with tutoring during class. When Suzy started to turn in her homework, she praised her for the good work she was doing to reinforce that behavior.

  9. Foundation This solution would be more based Rudolf Dreikurs’ classroom management theory

  10. Rudolf Dreikurs Fundamentals • Humans are social beings and they all have a desire to belong • There is a purpose behind every behavior • Humans are decision-making creatures • Humans all perceive a different reality

  11. Rudolf Dreikurs cont. • Four goals of misbehavior • Attention Getting • Seeking Power and Control • Seeking Revenge • Displaying Inadequacy

  12. Attention Getting • Minimize the attention (ignore, stand close by) • Legitimize the behavior (have class join in behaviors) • Do the unexpected (turn out lights, talk to wall) • Distract the student (change the activity) • Recognize appropriate behavior (thanks student) • Move the student (sent student to “thinking chair”)

  13. Seeking Power and Control • Make a Graceful Exit (remove audience, acknowledge student’s power) • Use a Time-Out • Apply the Consequence

  14. Seeking Revenge • Same as “Contest for Power”

  15. Displaying Inadequacy • Modify Instructional Needs • Use Concrete Learning Materials and Computer-Enhanced Instruction • Teach One Step at a Time • Provide Tutoring • Teach Positive Self-Talk and Speech • Teach that Mistakes are Okay • Build Student’s Confidence • Focus on Past Successes • Make Learning Tangible • Recognize Achievement

  16. Outcomes • Suzy starts to complete her homework every day and catches up on her missing homework one assignment at a time • Suzy’s morale is boosted as she becomes more successful • Suzy feels more comfortable talking to her teacher about any problems that arise in class

  17. Thanks for Listening!
