Carter came up with a model called the assertive discipline model that states five steps to assertive discipline. Step one is that adults should understand that they have an effect on a child or young person’s behaviour. Step two adults such as parents, carers and practitioners should show assertive responses this means that they should be confident and self-assured without showing any aggression. Step three is that parents and carers, and practitioners should provide a clear discipline plan within the setting and rules and consequences. Step four is that parents, carers and practitioners should clearly explain the discipline plan to children and young people. Step five is that parents, carers and practitioners should tell the child or young person how to behave correctly. Carter believed that adults “should recognize when a child is being ‘good’ and let them know frequently that you approve of their behaviour.” (Taylor, W, 2012,pg 8). He also believed that if practitioners recognise and praised a child or young person doing something positive and that the child or young person knew they have been praised then the child will continue to behave positive. He also suggested that there should be consequences for children and young people who behave negatively such as giving a child time out. This assertive discipline model is very useful for both…
“To provide the best learning environment for their students, teachers need to have good classroom management skills” (Pass, 2007). For teachers to be effective in their role they need to have in place different models of behaviour management. Behaviour management is important not only for the teacher to be able to teach but also so that all students are in an environment that they can learn and feel safe (Cope, 2005). There are three main theories when it comes to discipline and behaviour they are Management Theories, Leadership Theories and Non-directive Intervention Theories. Discipline and management theories can vary in approach, some expect the teacher to develop a better understanding of their students on a personal level, in a way in which they may find out the underlying cause to the students…
Obedience and Authority Yale psychologist Stanley Milgram wrote an article, "The Perils of Obedience," which documented his unique experiment about obedience and authority. The purpose was to observe to what extent an ordinary citizen would compromise his or her conscience when ordered to inflict increasing pain to another human. The experiment consisted of three people: a teacher and learner chosen at random, and a scientist. Once all three were acquainted, the scientist explained that the goal of the experiment was to research the effects of discipline. Thereafter, the learner was strapped to a chair with an electrode attached to their wrist.…
“Classroom management should be designed to reflect behavioral expectations and create an atmosphere in which student self-esteem can flourish (Canter, 1992). Educators have the right to maintain optimal learning in an environment free of disruption. Students also have rights as learners to learn in an appropriate environment free of bias and disruptions. In the past, the term discipline has been used to refer to classroom management, but it implied a negative connotation that is equated with punishment. Instead, it should address their future decisions. According…
Maya Angelou once said “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” While Angelou was not simply talking about teacher and student relationships, I think that this quote follows my philosophy on classroom management very closely. I believe that as a teacher, it is crucial to have a system of positive motivation in the classroom. There are two main parts to my classroom management philosophy, one that clearly shows how discipline works in my classroom, and the other that clearly shows how everything else will work in the classroom interpersonally. The Discipline with Dignity approach aligns closely with my belief that if a teacher gets to know students as people, there will be fewer…

Behavior management in the classroom is an aspect that is dealt with in many different ways by all educators. As a future educator constructing my classroom behavior model is an aspect to determine now. After learning about the many different behavior management models I believe I represent a combination of ideas. “Medium control approaches are based on the philosophical belief that development comes from a combination of innate and outer forces.” (Burden, 2010) The aspect that I connect mostly with this approach is that; teachers that follow it accept the student-centered psychology that is reflected in the low control philosophy, but they also recognize that learning takes place in a group context. Curwin and colleagues developed a three-dimensional discipline plan that includes; prevention, action, and resolution. This discipline plan was developed to counter the possible causes of discipline problems by students that can be caused by student boredom, feelings of powerlessness, unclear limits, a lack of acceptable outlets for feelings, and attacks on their dignity.…
The word honor is mainly used in good terms. Honor is when you have gained high respect from many people. They respect you. You are most likely a good leader. If you are honored you probably get special privileges. Many people will obey and listen to you because they honor you. They do this because nobody wants to show respect to a bad person. You are a trustworthy person and people can depend on you to do things. Overall this treatment should give you high self esteem. Most people strive to be an honorable person and honor others.…
Classroom management styles vary from teacher to teacher. Some follow one method while others pick and choose what works for them from a variety of methods. Certain methods work better on different ages of students such as elementary, middle or high school students and some are good for all age levels. Deciding what approach would work best in their classroom is a personal choice that requires taking many things into consideration. Five classroom management strategies are Wong’s Pragmatic Classroom, Lee Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle, Kagan, Kyle and Scott’s Win-Win, Morrish’s Real Discipline and Curwin and Mendler’s Discipline with Dignity. All of these are useful in the classroom just some are better suited to different grade levels.…

In understanding the use of proper guidance and discipline techniques in and out of the classroom, one must be aware of the developmental stages of children. All children begin at birth to develop certain patterns of behavior that they will carry on throughout their lives. Proper guidance and discipline will help the children to think and behave in appropriate and positive ways. When guidance and discipline are properly executed, the children will establish the proper skills to maintain appropriate behavior. A good understanding of children and guidance techniques is the basis for effective discipline. (NCAA – Guidance and Discipline 1995.)…
Among military members and civilians alike, there are personal qualities that determine how you act professionally and also how you act in your personal life. These qualities also determine how other people view you and judge your abilities in both aspects previously stated. In the military, certain qualities are especially prudent because of the nature of the work we complete, and the monetary value of the equipment that we work with.According to Eagle1 Fox2 (2008) Our organization is 1,394,311 soldiers strong, and in order to keep order and, discipline, key values are instilled into us from the day we…
Every organization has people who do acts that are not acceptable in the workplace and are against policies set forth by the organization’s leaders. When these types of issues occur, the organization’s managers need to consistently discipline employees to ensure high worker productivity, set certain standards for all employees equally, and to comply with the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines (Trevino & Nelson, 2007).…
