Take the Discipline
Strategies pretest.
Read "Some
Thoughts on Discipline" by the course instructor. This will provide
a starting point for the lesson.
Several different discipline
models or styles exist. There is a good summary of varying styles at http://www.adprima.com/assertive.htm.
Go to this site and start with the link to "The Canter and Jones
Models". This describes Assertive Discipline models. Then go to Dewey,
Discipline, and Democracy by John Covaleskie (same web site)
to read an essay that takes an opposing view.
After reading both of these,
click on http://www.honorlevel.com/stages.html
to read about the Honor Level System: Discipline by Design by Budd
Churchward. Churchward suggests that both Canter and Covaleskie are
correct, but for different types of students.
Read the article in
Educational Leadership titled "From Tourists to Citizens in the
Classroom" by H. Jerome Freiberg. To find the article, go to the NC State Libraries Homepage and
click on E-journal Finder. Type in Educational Leadership as
the journal title. Then search through Academic Search Elite.
Click the link for +1996, then Vol 54 Issue 1-Sep96.
The article will be listed.
All teachers should anticipate
that at some point they will have to deal with a discipline
situation and should have a plan in place when this occurs. "Four
Stages
of Discipline" describes a plan for dealing with discipline problems
when
they occur. These four stages are described at: http://www.honorlevel.com/steps.html.
Read the suggested steps—they may or may not work for you, but they are
an example of a discipline plan.
Kathleen Cotton
summarizes the research on discipline in an article titled "Schoolwide
and Classroom Discipline." The article also has some information that
is
more general in nature on the topic of classroom management. This
article
is found at the following url: http://www.nwrel.org/scpd/sirs/5/cu9.html.
School discipline has a
definite effect on classroom discipline. Sometimes the two terms
are used interchangeably. ERIC Digest includes an article on School
Discipline that makes some excellent points. This article can be found
at http://www.ed.gov/databases/ERIC_Digests/ed350727.html
