Building A Learning Community…
“Children 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 children : • 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 children the power to care
Merit Pay 3 articles of Interest: • The Folly of Merit Pay • Merit pay for teachers is problematic • Editorial- Merit pay and better schools
