Discipline in the classroom
 

Hi,

It �s a real pleasure for me to be the part of this awesome site and meet so many creative teachers. Therefore, to enjoy the privileges I �d like to start the topic concerning discipline in the classroom. This is one of the most difficult part of my job. How do you cope with the young kids ( especially in big classes- 25 students and up), do you use any wonderful methods or techniques to make students calm and active in a possitive way?

One of my favourite is the "red card" but it �s rather for the older students ( 10 and up ) and I �m still looking for something amazing but for younger kids.


Any ideas :)

for years i tried many different things but in the last few years I have been using something very useful but effective. the better behaved they are the less homework they get, the worse behaved they are the more they get. I also get the class to police each other, as all students are punished, i ask them to control or help bad students.

gscott,
If I understood you correctly, you use homework as a punishment?
Somehow doesn �t strike me as a good move....Ermm that �s a sure way to get them to hate English homework.

I can �t but strongly recommand reading this awesome book:Thumbs Up
The first days of school: how to be an effective teacher by Harry Wong and Rosemary T. Wong


The cover might not be very attractive but what �s inside changed my way of teaching!Star
For the French speaking teachers, here is what it looks like:
