  7. Discipline vs. Management • The vast majority of the behavior problems in the classroom are caused by the failure of students to follow procedures and routines, which in turn are caused by teachers who do not have procedures and routines. • Effective teachers MANAGE their classrooms with procedures and routines.Ineffective teachers DISCIPLINE their classrooms with threats and punishments.

  10. Characteristics of an effectively managed classroom • Mental and social development • Achieving instructional goals • Boundaries for intellectually and physical freedom • Procedures more than rules, consequences rather than punishments • Developing self-directions • Creating warm human relations • Making the teacher “obsolete” (Langland)
