Subject: Discipline and School Climate/Culture
I believe that: Discipline is an important tool to address what is considered acceptable and unacceptable behavior. It helps mold the school climate and must be appropriately implemented to create a safe learning environment. I believe this because (relate to personal/professional experience): I constantly witness different student behaviors today and when I myself was a student. My teachers always had a set of expectations that we all had to adhere to. Because they cared about our learning and respected us, I never felt the need to act outside of their behavioral boundaries. As a result, I felt comfortable in school knowing I had the support from my teachers. Lots of issues/aspects of: disciplinary actions: For example: students feeling victimized, classroom chaos / order, being safe / unsafe on campus, And more / less effective learning environments. I'd like to talk about: balancing discipline with positive classroom climate. Explain your example: As a substitute teacher, I sometimes receive lesson plans from teachers that explain what to do with problematic students / behavioral issues, and sometimes I don’t. For the days that I don’t, it gives me some leeway with creating my own classroom environment. I always make it clear from the beginning what my expectations are without making myself look like an authoritative figure. I am consistent with my disciplinary actions to avoid students questioning my motives and accusing me of targeting specific individuals. I calmly discuss with students to come up with solutions to improve their behavior and academic performance. I find respect and responsibility to be the best methods in creating a class culture of good quality.
