There are four components to Jones’ classroom
management:
1.
Classroom Structure
2.
Limit Setting
3.
Responsibility Training
4.
Backup Systems
Both quote Julia Thompson
on the Ideal Teacher:
Enjoys students.
Uses different teaching
techniques.
Has a great sense of humor.
Acts like an adult and not a
child (or high school
student).
Keeps promises.
Is organized.
Knows the subject matter.
Admits when he or she is
wrong.
Uses a pleasant voice.
Is enthusiastic about the
subject.
Is willing to listen to both
sides of an issue.
Has a reputation for giving
challenging work.
Isn’t a pushover. Keeps
misbehaving students in
line.
Keeps everyone busy.
Does not have favorites.
Is polite to everyone all of
the time.
Is friendly and fair.
According to Julia G. Thompson, author of
Discipline Survival
Kit for the Secondary Teacher
Wong on Effective
Instruction
A structured and instructionally sound
classroom will eliminate a majority of
misbehaviors.
Two important key factors are:
Room arrangement
Time management

Be able to have quick access to any student at
any time.
Be comfortable moving around your room
during instructional periods.
Being in close proximity to a student is an
effective deterrent.

Natural teachers spend less time in front of
the class teaching and more time circulating
the room while students are working.
Physical proximity of the teacher is a
powerful factor that lessens the chances of
students misbehaving.

Broad walkways- make it
easier for a teacher to get
from one student to

Remove furniture barriers
between teacher and
students.
Students desks are near

conversation b/w teacher
and students.
Assigned seating.
Loop-type set up so the
teacher can around tosee
everyone’s work.

Some students look for your attention as the
class begins independent work. Working
with that child can take up to 4 minutes,
meanwhile the rest of the class is getting off
task. Using guided practice and praise,
prompt, and leave will help those students
become more independent workers.

Jones’ suggests, “be clear, be brief, be gone,” when
addressing the questions of the “helpless hand raiser.”
Use visual instructional plans- describing the specific
steps to solving the problem with a picture for every step
and a minimum reliance on words.
VIPs are a string of visual prompts a student can access
at will- making them less dependent on you and making
you more available to work the crowd.

In a lesson, you tell and
show students what to
do next, then have
them practice it before
they forget.
Students learn by doing
and the teacher
continually monitors
their performance.
Structured practice
includes repetitions of a
newly learned skill
within a controlled
environment by the
teacher. This practice
builds confidence in the
learner, leading to less
helpless hand raising.
Wong argues that Effective Time
Management best Curbs
Discipline Problems
The more engaged a student is the
better he behaves.
Students tend to be more
distracted during these 3 phases of
instruction:
The beginning of class
Transitions
The end of class
Harry Wong writes in
The First Days of School
,
“The number one problem in the classroom is not
discipline; it is the lack of procedures and
routines.”
Wong also states, “A procedure is simply a method
or process for how things are to be done in a
classroom.”
Procedures answer the question, “What do I do
when…?”
You Must Teach Procedures!

Motivation is managed through the use of incentives.
Incentives answer the question, "Why should I?" By
managing incentives, we can increase the motivation of
students to work
hard
while working
conscientiously

Wong on Effective Instruction A structured and instructionally sound classroom will eliminate a majority of misbehaviors. Two important key factors are: Room arrangement Time management
Wong - Movement is the key Be able to have quick access to any student at any time. Be comfortable moving around your room during instructional periods. Being in close proximity to a student is an effective deterrent.
Jones - Working the Crowd Natural teachers spend less time in front of the class teaching and more time circulating the room while students are working. Physical proximity of the teacher is a powerful factor that lessens the chances of students misbehaving.
Both agree that Room Arrangement helps discipline Assigned seating. Loop-type set up so the teacher can around tosee everyone s work. Broad walkways- make it easier for a teacher to get from one student to another. Remove furniture barriers between teacher and students. Students desks are near the board for easy conversation b/w teacher and students.
Jones argues that our biggest problem right now is probably Helpless Hand Raisers Some students look for your attention as the class begins independent work. Working with that child can take up to 4 minutes, meanwhile the rest of the class is getting off task. Using guided practice and praise, prompt, and leave will help those students become more independent workers.
How do you fix it? Praise, Prompt, and Leave Jones suggests, be clear, be brief, be gone, when addressing the questions of the helpless hand raiser. Use visual instructional plans- describing the specific steps to solving the problem with a picture for every step and a minimum reliance on words. VIPs are a string of visual prompts a student can access at will- making them less dependent on you and making you more available to work the crowd.
He argues that the most effective change we can make is: See, Say, Do Teaching In a lesson, you tell and show students what to do next, then have them practice it before they forget. Students learn by doing and the teacher continually monitors their performance. Little sips are healthier than big gulps Structured practice includes repetitions of a newly learned skill within a controlled environment by the teacher. This practice builds confidence in the learner, leading to less helpless hand raising.
Wong argues that Effective Time Management best Curbs Discipline Problems The more engaged a student is the better he behaves. Students tend to be more distracted during these 3 phases of instruction: The beginning of class Transitions The end of class
