Tamara replied to Samantha Stanley's discussion 'Classroom management strategies'

I think that's a good method. It teaches discipline, respect, and collaboration. With this kind of method, the classroom doesn't feel like a jail cell, but it doesn't feel like an open, anarchist black top either. There is a good…

Brittany Parlour replied to Samantha Stanley's discussion 'Classroom management strategies'

I agree that the best tools for behavior management are structure, organization, and consistency. The classroom needs to be structured with a specific schedule that the children know for each day. This way, they know what to expect as far as…

I recommend reading books in the series put out by the Northeast Foundation for Children (Responsive Classroom) such as: The First Six Weeks of School, The Morning Meeting Book, Teaching Children to Care, and Rules in School. I also recommended…

Christina Colbert replied to Samantha Stanley's discussion 'Classroom management strategies'

I agree with you. It's important to institute a behavior management system from the first day of school. I give all of my students a "magic number" which they use for the entire school year. I have a Behavior Chart labeled with…

I have tried this but find by 7th grade they make remarks like is that all we get. I prefer to tell them their reward is good grades and other intrinsic rewards. I have found things in the trash because students don't appreciate what I have…

Jessica Leger replied to Samantha Stanley's discussion 'Classroom management strategies'

I teach sixth grade and I find that my students are very materialistic as this age. (Ipods, Video game systems, etc) I use tickets that I pass out to kids when they are doing something positive. Raising hand, helping someone, completing a difficult…

Julie Baird replied to Samantha Stanley's discussion 'Classroom management strategies'

I teach high school and the book that has helped me the most is Fred Jones' "Positive Classroom Discipline." It's an older book and had a companion book titled "Positive Classroom Instruction." Both of those books have…

Dorethia(Dotty) Myers replied to Samantha Stanley's discussion 'Classroom management strategies'

The 7th grade group I have this year is a real challenge. Tightening up on my rules. By passing warnings and timeouts, because they just don't work with this group. Will assign detentions(brunch, lunch or after school)and a call to parent and…

Jessica Eitzen replied to Samantha Stanley's discussion 'Classroom management strategies'

The classroom management strategies that have worked the best for me come from two books: "The First Days of School" by Harry Wong and "The Reluctant Disciplinarian" by Gary Rubinstein.

Jonathan Wylie replied to Samantha Stanley's discussion 'Classroom management strategies'

In the UK there was a pretty good series of books called "Getting the buggers to behave!". Unusual title, but it has some sound research methods used.

Samantha Stanley replied to Samantha Stanley's discussion 'Classroom management strategies'

I will certainly look into that book, it sounds like an incredible resource. Thank you!

Alan Stange replied to Samantha Stanley's discussion 'Classroom management strategies'

Everything works for a while, and then it doesn't. If I could recommend a single approach to you it would be Ronald Morrish, Real Discipline. As he says in his book: The easiest way to think about real discipline is to view it as having three…

I tell my class that we are flying a plane to exciting places - in order to be a pilot I have to have excellent co-pilots or our plane will not make it! The kids see this as a real way of being a part of the learning process. If somebody is acting…

Fred Ravan replied to Samantha Stanley's discussion 'Classroom management strategies'

Just to add my two cents worth, last year I had a very rowdy class. It helped me that I had smooth transitions between activities. I have everything ready to go when they walk in. I even have the handouts and other supplies already distributed on…
