...Running head: Discipline and Management: Different Yet Related Discipline and Management: Different Yet Related Angela Williams EDU August 15th, 2012 For many years I associated discipline with whooping or punishment. When I heard of someone being disciplined by their parents, I always thought they had gotten a spanking. Later, I soon learned that when you discipline someone you help to guide them in the right direction, you steer them from the wrong they’ve done. For instance, I disciplined my child just last night by taking away his iPad because he has been being mean to his teacher. When she asks him to do something, he tells her no. When he made it home yesterday I sat him down and talked to him about his behavior and I let him that it was unacceptable. He did much better today. “Discipline is based on logical and natural consequences; it is concerned with the present. Options are kept open so students can choose to improve behavior and gain self-control. Discipline is an active teaching process which involves communication. It is organized and ensures involvement of all stakeholders.” (EDU 536 Lectures) “The tactics that teachers use to manage student behavior are referred to as discipline or behavior management.” (Charles, 2008, p. 9) “Classroom management refers to all of the things that a teacher does to organize students, space, time and materials so that instruction in content and student learning can take place”...

...Classroom management is one of the most essential skills to becoming an effective classroom teacher. Teachers who possess the ability to manage their classrooms are able to create an environment where learning is the focus (Burden, 2004). There are many theories on how to become positive and encouraging classroom managers. While all of these theories are different and emphasize different aspects of discipline and behavior, all have proven to be valuable methods for improving management in the classroom. One theory of classroom management is Assertive Discipline. This was developed by Lee Canter and Associates (1976). This approach demonstrates how teachers can assertively communicate their expectations to students. It is a comprehensive, systematic method of classroom management. It was developed on the basis of four concepts: “(a) behavior is a choice, (b) every student has a right to learn in an environment that is free from disruption, (c) every teacher has the right to teach without disruption from students, and (d) no child should engage in behavior that is not in the child's best interest.” (Canter & Canter, 1976) These guidelines are expressed and supported by a discipline plan. The discipline plan includes positive and negative consequences for behavior in the classroom. Teachers will assert the rules and enforce them with progressive consequences during the day. One important element is that in most cases, the slate is clean each day. Students begin each day on the...

...My Preschool Classroom Management Plan Susan Wheeler EDU650: Teaching Learning and Leading in the 21 Century Professor Amy Gray October 21, 2013 Classroom Management Plan I believe Classroom Management is the key component in any educational setting. I believe that if students are in a safe environment, then learning can take place. I will set the tone in my classroom so I will prevent behavior problems by having interesting and engaging curriculums and effectively including all students in the classroom so that their needs are met.

...Learning Disabilities and the Classroom Melissa C. Strange Grand Canyon University: Learning Disabilities and the Classroom Learning disabilities in the classroom is prevalent in many of our schools across The United States and the World. There has been much confusion and controversy over students with learning disabilities, some feeling that it is a disability and others feel that the students is classified or labeled as lazy and not wanting to learn.

...Classroom Management Procedure/ Routines Paper Classroom management is the most essential key to a successful learning environment in the classroom. When effective classroom management strategies are not implemented you take away learning time from your students. There are many important elements to have a productive, self- sufficient classroom. One of the most important elements is establishing procedures and routines in your class. According to Harry Wong, the teacher is the decisive element in the classroom. Therefore, it is up to the teacher to establish discipline and procedures in the classroom to have an effective classroom. The most important element of establishing discipline in your classroom is establishing a discipline plan. A discipline plan is composed of three things; rules, consequences, and rewards. The rules must only contain 3-5 rules, no more than 5. Harry Wong explains that when we begin to give too many rules it becomes a dare to the students to break them. Having a plan is very important, when a teacher does not have a plan it will resort to yelling. Harry Wong states, “ If you don’t have a plan, than you are planning to fail.” According to Harry Wong the number one problem in the classroom is not the discipline, it is the lack of procedures and routines. Establishing Procedures and routines will allow your classroom to be a productive self-sufficient classroom. Therefore, in order to have discipline in a classroom you must have procedures that...

...Functions of Management Julia Luciano MGT/330 May 18, 2011 Angela Guest Functions of Management The functions of management are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Each function plays a crucial role in how that manager builds a successful team. It is the job of the manager to lead his or her team and to teach the employees how to become leaders. In order to do this the functions of management must be used. In this paper I will discuss how the functions of management correlate with administration in the education industry. Functions of Management The first function of management is planning. Planning is specifying the goals to be achieved and deciding in advance the appropriate actions needed to achieve these goals (Bateman & Snell, 2009). This is when the managers sit down and take a look at the company, the budget, the programs etc; and decide what they want to see in the future. Summer break is coming up this week and administration sat down at the beginning of the school year and made a plan to roll out a new summer program in May 2011. The school has always had a summer program; however a lot of students would attend camp at a very close competitive neighbor because of the price and activities. Administrative addressed the staff and told us all about the new plan and how we could all help to gain enrollment for the program. The summer camp plan was to cut the cost in half, and offer a larger variety of educational/fun and extra curricular activities...

...A strong Professional Development Plan is an essential asset to succeeding in any career, especially one as an educator. Such a plan not only improves initial employability but also works as a guide for motivation, direction, and self-improvement throughout one’s career. A well-designed plan includes specific career and education goals as well as an action plan for achieving those goals. For a Professional Development Plan to be effective, continual evaluation needs to be conducted to monitor personally growth and to ensure that the intended goals are met. Ultimately, failing to plan is the same as planning to fail. This paper is written from the viewpoint of a beginning teacher on her ideal vision for the future. Of course such a teacher will need to modify her goals as the circumstances and experiences demand, but the essay will present what her projected plan of action for her upcoming career will be. Setting goals is a critical aspect of creating a professional development plan. The writer of this paper has set many educational and professional long-term and short-term goals for herself. In the next five years, the writer aims to complete both her Associate’s degree and Bachelor’s degree in the field of Elementary Education. More long-term goals, which may take 10 years or more, include continuing education all the way up to a Doctorate’s degree, teaching a variety of grades from kindergarten to 12th grade, and eventually becoming a school principle, or possibly even a superintendent...

...Parental Involvement Plan Parental involvement is essential to any classroom. The research shows that children with parents who are active in their school do better academically. You will be designing a presentation that introduces you and your classroom to the parents for the new school year. Some of the items from your First Day of School PowerPoint® will be “recycled” into this assignment. You may want to tweak them because the audience is very different—now it is the parents. For this Assignment, you will create a presentation using PowerPoint, Prezi®, or another type of presentation software. You will present some of the information that will later go into your Classroom Management Action Plan. You will address ways in which parents can get involved in your classroom in meaningful ways. You will include the following in your plan. 1. Basic description of your class (grade, subject, room number). 2. Your introduction (you can recycle this from your First Day of School PowerPoint). 3. Classroom Activities: Include a detailed description of three classroom activities for which the parents will be invited to participate (one per slide). * Jobs/functions volunteers will have to perform. * Materials you need donated, if any. * Any preparation that needs to happen at home (if you need someone to cut paper, staple something) or in school before activities takes place (making photocopies, assembling something). * How much time will this take...
