Trends in Classroom Management

Current Trends in Classroom Management Classroom DisciplineWongs matter-of-fact ClassroomKagan, Kyle, and Scotts Win-Win DisciplineMorrishs Real Discipline StrengthsWongs approach pragmatic where it is built from practical ideas pieced unitedly from multiple sources (Charles, 2008, pg. 130). This theory does not gather with cookie cutter schoolrooms and can be modified to fit the teacher, content, or scholarly person group. Encourages the idea that discipline problems will largely disappear when the classroom caution is in check (Charles, 2008, pg. 0). Rules of carriage set limits where they create a work-oriented atmosphere (Charles, 2008, pg. 133). Behavior issues are simply violations of force and have specific and logical consequences that were clearly laid out on the first day of school. learner needs are strongly represented were the primary goal is to help students develop long-term, self-managed responsibility. Encourages a inspirit of teamwork between the teacher a nd student where the end result is where students manage themselves responsibly (Charles, 2008, pg. 151). A precursor to Kagans win-win schema because it teaches students right from wrong, high requireations of adult authority, and encourages them to make choices about way that are sufficiently hop on and experienced to do (Charles, 2008, pg. 227). To acquire essential behavioral norms skills, they need supportive guidance from enlightened, caring teachers where it does not redact the teachers and students on the same plane however, it does not completely separate them. WeaknessesRequires intense planning and execution by the teacher to ensure that consistency of procedures is get marrieded in order for this to succeed. If there needs to be a counterchange in classroom management style in the middle of the school year, Wong gives secondary detail on how that should be handled. They focus heavily on the first day and first few weeks of school. Sees disruptive behavior as mere ly students ineffective attempts to meet certain unfulfilled needs all the time (Charles, 2008, pg. 151). Where behavior issues could come from students not even trying at all. Since the relationship needs to be based on the fact that the student and teacher must work together for the student to gain that responsibility, what happens when they do not gain that lawsuit of utlook? This strategy may feel alike an anarchy government where the students have little to no say in the classroom and their learning, where the teacher is the sole authority in the classroom. AdvantagesStates that a well-managed classroom is task oriented and predictable and it can be a smoothly functioning learning purlieu (Charles, 2008, pg. 132). When students learn the win-win strategy, they learn life skills that can help with developing self-management, responsibility, and other autonomous life skills (Charles, 2008, pg. 151). Does not separate the teacher/student dynamic too much with authority and doe s not give the student too much power without clear expectation. DisadvantagesIf a teacher does not the set the procedures and expectations in the classroom before the end of week two, research has shown that they will not have good classroom management Procedures can seem daunting and intense and very little wiggle room for students. This discipline type does not take preemptive strikes against disruptive behavior but rather considers disruptive behavior to be a starting point (Charles, 2008, pg. 152). This strategy may be easily confused with mistrust for their students and grave ones standard of expectation for the students just because of their age. Agree/DisagreeSolid expectations in an environment with crisp infrastructure is an idea that resonates with my strategy of teaching. I do not agree with this particular strategy where it states that we should wait for students to misbehave so we can address the idea of responsibility or re-directing. I do not believe in setting up t he students for failure and put my best effort out front for them to succeed on the first try, not wait for them to mess up to fix it. However, I do agree with the idea of encouraging autonomy from the students and stating that they are their bets advocates for their own education. This strategy does expect high expectations from the students to follow the rules but they are not in a true in a democracy like the previous strategy. There are no unrealistic expectations of maturity level and one will expect a student to act their age. The students are not set up to fail, but have a firm teacher foundation.
