...Discipline and Management: Different Yet Related Mary Keel Grand Canyon University: TCH-536 January 26, 2014 Comparison of Discipline and Management, and Behaviour and Misbehaviour Definitions Discipline denotes training or systematic instruction intended to produce a specific pattern of behaviour or character, especially training, which produces mental or moral character that adheres to a specific order or conduct. The term could also refer to the product of the training, which is controlled behaviour that results from self-control attained after disciplinary training. The term also denotes the act of punishing to enforce obedience or gain control (Marvin, 2014). Management is the coordination and organization of activities in a classroom in order to attain defined objectives and this involves controlling or dealing with students, processes and things in a manner that enables attainment of set goals and objectives (Marvin, 2014). Behaviour denotes observable activities or mannerisms in humans, which is an aggregate of responses to stimuli or input whether external and internal, voluntary of involuntary, covert or overt and conscious or subconscious.

...teacher returns, a good strategy the teacher could use would be to go over with the entire class, “How to Treat Substitute Teachers” According to Morrish, (2001) “Educators should teach students how to behave for others just as they would for them. Show them how to welcome visitors and help them.” (Charles, 2011) In order for this to work in my classroom management system, I would have to implement this into our classroom etiquette. Also, we would practice it through role play several times during the first two weeks of school. 2.) There is a student who submits incomplete work daily, is very talkative in class, especially during teaching time. A strategy that would be valuable to the teacher is to encourage the student understand and see that when he/she spends more of his/her class time working on and completing assignments, it will give him/her a sense of accomplishment. According to Glasser, (1993) “There is no better feeling than that which comes from the satisfaction of doing something useful that you believe is the very best you can do and finding that others agree.” (Charles, 2011).

The four ideas share some similarities as well as differences. First we will define each word, then make comparisons and last describe how these terms all relate to each other and education. In terms of education within a school or classroom, discipline helps to manage behaviors; to train by instruction and practice, especially to teach self-control to students. Discipline refers to the approaches and strategies used by teachers to guide and promote constructive student behavior. Classroom management can be described as what the teacher establishes as procedures and rules. These procedures and rules create order and provide a sense of safety for students. In the simplest words, as applied to teaching, it involves any and everything a teacher must do to carry out teaching objectives. Specific but flexible skills, instructional methods and knowledge are implemented to promote optimal learning. Behavior relates to actions by the student, typically a positive action, while misbehavior is a negative action. Both relate to classroom management and discipline directly.

Yet every day in classrooms across the world educator's are faced with these challenges because like it or not kids are going to act up in class. Knowing these daily challenges will cause almost every educator to think about and consider how they will carry out both classroom management and discipline with their students. While these two items are similar, they certainly are not the same, or are they? Moreover, why do we need them in our classrooms? Classroom Management and Discipline, although they may seem similar and do go hand in hand in the classroom, most might agree they are not the same. Classroom Management is typically a teachers plan to obtain and keep order in their classroom while engaging their students in active learning. Knowing this information many if not all teachers will take the necessary steps to not only creating a good classroom management plan but they will try and communicate this plan with their students so that the students know what is expected of them while they are in school.

All of these concepts have similarities and differences and all are integral parts of a teacher’s classroom. Misbehavior This is when someone breaks the rules or doesn’t follow directions. In a classroom this can be something like being disrespectful to someone else or not following a teacher’s directions. (Charles, 2014) An example would be: A student talking at the same time as a teacher is explaining something. Behavior This is the way students act or respond to others and themselves. It is usually categorized as either good behavior or bad behavior. (Charles, 2014) An example of bad behavior might be a student stealing something from another student and an example of good behavior might be a student listening to instructions from their teacher. Discipline Discipline is the way a teacher might correct student misbehavior. In the past this was done through coercion and punishment, while today it is done through positive influence and persuasion. (Charles, 2014) An example of this might be the teacher reminding his/her students of the rules when one of the students is currently breaking a rule. Management There...

Educators must learn how to manage their classrooms and how to discipline the students. Teachers must know the definitions of discipline, management, behavior and misbehavior in order to know how to identify and handle different discipline and behavior problems in the correct way. A teacher must have a well-managed classroom in order to teach students effectively. Discipline is defined as the act or manner of managing; handling, direction, or control. (A.U, 2012). On the first day of class the teacher needs to establish the rules, and have order in their classroom. Then the instructor should maintain the order in the classroom during all times. Classroom management has to do with procedures, routines, and structure (Marshall, 2010). The teacher should create a plan for managing the classroom. Managing the classroom requires teachers to create a routine of how they give instruction, how they switch from one lesson to the next, and how they handle discipline problems. Teachers should also discipline the students who do not follow the rules so that it would create a safe learning environment for the students as well as him or her self when the classroom is managed...

...that are still in existence today. Project management tools such as program evaluation review technique (PERT) and critical path method (CPM) came into effect between 1956 to 1958 (Azzopardi, 2015). It was not widely embraced until the 1960s in the USA when the project management theory gave birth to ‘modern project management’ (Azzopardi, 2015). The concept project is defined as ‘a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result’ (PMI, 2008, p.5). Whilst project management is ‘the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirement.’ (PMI, 2008, p.6). Unpacking both definitions, project management is deemed a powerful tool that gives an organisation the ability to assign its resources in a unique way through planning, implementing and controlling each deliverables to meet the projected outcome. In today’s modern world, organisations have an invested interest in the practice of project management and the professional discipline. Historically, priest, architect, quantity surveyors and engineers as ‘“accidental” project managers’ (Walker and Dart, 2011, p.4-16) where given the role to deliver complex task without having the right tools or processes for the activities.

...Employees are a company’s most valuable resource. Management has expectations for the employees to meet workplace standards of behavior and performance. This may include (and not limited too): following workplace rules and practices, accepting job assignments, working well with other employees, or even coming into work in time. When management expectations are not met, the need for disciplinary acts arises. However, sometimes management delays or does take disciplinary action. This can lead into improper discipline, grievances, or wrongful termination. If proper discipline is used, a positive impact such as early employee resolution can occur. In the end, management disciplinary actions can create positive or negative on employee relations. Why do we discipline employees? A traditional view approach to discipline is to punish employees for violating rules. Discipline, however, is not meant to punish but to change employees deficient behavior by effectuate a positive change. Aren’t we all adults and can follow rules? We are all human, and as humans we choose what to do or not to do. When we choose not to follow rules, reinforce standards take place.

...In a classroom setting, discipline and management are two key components for classroom success. The term classroom management is often used interchangeably with the term classroom discipline. However, the two ideas are very different in their application. Management and discipline are two halves of the same coin, they are intrinsicly connected to each other, but they have their own individual properties, with their own look and feel. Classroom management deals with how things in a class are done. Classroom management is the sole responsibility of the teacher. It encompasses all of the teacher’s interactions with students, classroom environment, rules and procedures, instructional strategies and development of engaging work. In a well managed classroom, the teacher implements policies and develops routines that stabilize and direct the flow of a class. Effective teachers manage their classes so that students spend their time more productively. Elements of classroom management vary. No two classes are alike. However the foundational elements a teacher takes into account before students ever set foot in the build can lend to better classroom management. Things such as classroom layout and organization.A neat and organized classroom tells your students you mean business and you expect them to keep the classroom organized as well.

But for eight hours a day they are all in the same room for the same purpose. Well what are we there for? We are there to teach them to make them ready for the world after 12 years of school. In order to do this in an orderly manner, we must first establish good classroom management, and in my opinion if we can establish good and effective classroom management then there will be little or no discipline problems. If we as teachers let our students know what is expected of them, then they will be more prone to respond to our teaching in a positive way and gain everything they need. First of all, how we will define the word discipline? The word discipline has many different meanings, but they all serve the same general idea and purpose.

...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”...
