EDU-450 Classroom Management Models
Harry Wong’s Effective Classroom
Strengths:
This model has very clear set of rules such as what to say and goals to keep in order for the teacher to be successful in her teaching. Weaknesses:
This model I believe has more focus on the success of the teacher rather than the needs of the students.
Quotes:
“The single greatest effect on student achievement is not race, it is not poverty — it is the effectiveness of the teacher.” ~~ Harry K. Wong
“It is the teacher — what the teacher knows and can do — that is the most significant factor in student achievement.” ~~ Harry K. Wong

Kagan, Kyle, & Scott’s Win-Win Discipline
Strengths:
This model has a very positive and set foundation for the students to follow; it also test and brings out the students full potential. Weaknesses:
This model puts more emphasis on the students overcome negative attitudes and form positive skills and less emphasis on attaining actual knowledge.
