Discipline power point
- 2. Introduction After examining the Craig Seganti approach to classroom management, this educator uses an orderly, businesslike approach to classroom discipline. (Charles)
- 3. The Seganti approach According to Mr. Seganti, the main point of maintaining a well managed class is to start on day one. A teacher should set down his expectations with his students and make sure that they all understand them and hold them accountable by using his leverage as the “Boss” to enforce said rules and expectations(charles).
- 4. Seganti cont’d Mr. Seganti also wants teachers to be able to show how education is the main reward for a learner. We don’t need to use Superfluous Rewards. We also should not need to give warnings(charles). As in the workplace you get your chance and if you don’t comply with the rules you are then reprimanded.
- 5. Other sources The business approach was developed by Evertson and Emmer (education-teaching-careers. Levy Dalumpines). It too states that in the classroom the focus should be on the work and not discipline. To keep the students on the right path we must keep them busy and give them our rules and regulations so to speak. This site also states that you should also pay attention to the work and promote or praise accordingly. This helps the student realize his work is being recognized and gets that feeling of accomplishment.
- 6. Other sources cont’d Many teachers have begun to take this approach to educating in their classrooms (classroominc.blogspot.com, Operating your classroom with a business-minded approach, June 20, 2011, j. edward). This site claims that teachers should imagine themselves running their dream company and place themselves as CEO and their students are the employees. Just like Seganti, others are holding their students accountable for their actions and their learning. No if’s and or but’s about it!
- 7. Other sources on this approach According to (http://www.marietta.edu) this approach is very work oriented. This approach also requires another approach. This is the assertive approach to education. As stated previously, once the classroom rules and regulations are stated the teacher must holdfast to those rules with little to no exceptions. When an educator does have to remind or correct a bent or broken rule, that teacher must do so in an assertive non argumentative fashion. This was also stated in the Seganti approach (charles).
- 8. Another fellow educator who we have learned much from is Mr. Harry Wong, who also supports this type of classroom management style (http://wps.pearsoncustom.com, pearsons education, 2013). Mr. Wong states that we should make sure and praise the good work in public, just as in a business environment, but criticize in private so as not to discourage the student.
- 9. Ideas Having been in many facets of the business world and learning many different types of business management styles, I was glad to see that this approach to classroom management was available. According to my sources if you hold the students accountable as you do your workforce, and if you are the same with each student and take a genuine interest in them as a valid asset to your class, the student will try to do better. Just as in the workplace, the student needs to know what the expectations of them are and how to achieve the most success. It is our job to motivate them to do this. It is our job to give praise publicly and not humiliate the student.
- 10. cont’d Just as a boss in the business world, our job as a manager so to speak is to get the most out of our students. If we have a worker/student that is not performing or if we notice that he is not focusing on his or her work and or hindering others work, we are to reprimand that employee. Like the workplace the student will likely be upset, but if he knew he was wrong and if we had done our job managing the correct way, the person will understand the consequences and hopefully not repeat.
- 11. Finale According to the chapter and my other research the businesslike approach is catching on. It also is teaching our students how to reach expectations and accomplish more in class. It is teaching them real world values and applications. As the research shows it has a real impact on a students learning and enjoyment of the class.
