Building A Learning Community…
Backgrounder • Marzano • Barrie/Bennett Bumping Model
“Students learn by doing and finding success in the doing”
Discipline • know the child • provide the structure for the child to learn
Discipline Goals • Self control • Creation of community
Self-Control – power • to listen • to wait
3 Points of Self-Control • We teach it like all academics • It is on-going and day-to-day • Self-control leads to greater success
Creation of Community in a Classroom • Teach students: • To give care as well as receive care • To learn to contribute • Belonging to a group means being needed as well as to need • Creating a community gives students the power to care
a. Expectations The Three R’s Students make mistakesand need practice • Remind • Reinforce • Redirect
b. Stages – a progression •Whole Class •Small Group/Independent work •Skill & Content Instruction
Making the Community Work The way we handle and manage challenges is critical… Goal: Students learn from mistakes by helping them learn different causes of action Logical Consequences provide a connectionbetween the behaviour and consequence and provide opportunity to make better choices
Making the Community Work A logical Consequences reinforces a child’s desire to be in control, BUT it demands the positive relationship and respect from the teacher…. KNOW YOUR STUDENTS!
A Case Study:A young male beginning teacher was coaching a junior hockey team after school on the school oval and at the end of one of the training sessions it started to drizzle. In the gathering gloom and cold two of the team members who lived most distant from the school asked politely for a lift part of the way home. Public transport was not available and the teacher wanted to get away too. Rather than wait around or refuse them, the teacher gave them a lift. A cleaner saw the two students getting into the teacher's car. • Why might the teacher have made the decision to give the students a lift? Is there a conflict of duty involved? • What are the possible ramifications of this course of action by the teacher? • Does this action constitute ethical conduct? Is gender an issue affecting decisions in this situation? • If you, as a colleague, had seen this occurring what would your response have been? What principles underpin your action or decision?
