Concept Of Classroom Discipline
Discipline is not control from the outside; it's order from within. Discipline is not about getting the learners to do what you want them to do. That's what dictators do, and you are not a dictator ---you are an educator.
What is Classroom Discipline?
It is a systematic way of providing an environment in which positive teaching and positive learning can occur simultaneously.
Tips For Achieving And Maintaining Classroom Discipline:
1) Greet pupils/students at the door
Interact with your pupils/students on a personal level every day. Greet them by name. Shake their hand, and welcome them into the classroom this sets a positive tone for a lesson or for the day.
2) Get pupils/students focused before you begin any lesson
Be sure you have their attention before you begin.
3) Use positive presence
Move around the classroom continuously. Don't sit or remain stagnant while teaching. Make frequent eye contact, and smile with pupils/students. Monitor pupils/students with your physical presence.
4) Model the behavior you want pupils/students to produce
If you exhibit respectfulness, trust, enthusiasm, interest, and courtesy in classroom, pupils/students will return the favor in kind. Remember the saying, *"Values are caught, not taught "*.
5) Use low profile intervention
When you see a pupil/student who is misbehaving, be sure your intervention is quiet, calm and inconspicuous.
6) Verbal reprimands should be private, brief, and as immediate as possible
The more you reprimand privately, the less likely you will be challenged. The more immediate the reprimand, the less likely the pupil/student will feel you condone his or her behavior.
7) Acknowledge positive pupil/student behavior when it is not expected.
8) Acknowledge hard work, kindness, and dependability.
9) If you have rules, enforce those rules.
10) Be consistent
Although, this is easier said than done, the key to an effective discipline policy in any classroom is consistency. Make this principle part of your classroom action plan.
11) Don't hand out lots of warnings without following through on consequences
Lots of warnings tell the pupils/students that you won't enforce a rule.
12) Be fair and impartial
The rules are there for everyone, and that includes girls as well as boys, tall people and short people, pupils/students with freckles and pupils/students without freckles, and special needs pupils/students as well as gifted pupils/students.
Other Likely Factors To Consider Before Enforcing Discipline:
a) Age of the child
b) Health condition of the child
c) Nature/gravity of the offence
d) The school rules and regulations.
Kindly note that Positive Discipline or Punishments should not be Vindictive or Overrated but Corrective.
