JONES' MODEL -
Stresses that an effective classroom
management system must be –
*positive
*economical
*self-eliminating
*low key, supportive, and almost invisible
MAIN COMPONENTS:
Classroom structure
Limit setting
Responsibility training
Backup systems
FAVORITE FREDISMS:
Every student in your class has a Ph.D. in teacher management (Jones, 1987, p.34)
It takes one fool to backtalk. It takes two fools to make a conversation out of it (Jones, 2007b, p.224)
The most widespread management procedure in real classrooms is nag, nag, nag (Jones 2007b, p.7)
RESPONSIBILITY TRAINING:
Incentive systems must have three parts:
A task
A reward
A system of accountability
PAT (Preferred Activity Time)

LIMIT SETTING:
Six step process
Add two additional steps for student
that back talks
*Skit performed based on limit setting - Class discussion
on what you would do differently in the scenario.

OVERVIEW OF POSITIVE CLASSROOM DISCIPLINE:
Hardin divides his book into three Classroom Management Views:
Classroom Management as Discipline
Classroom Management as a System
Classroom Management as Instruction
Fredric Jones is a Behaviorist and bases Positive Classroom Discipline on these theories
Jones believes in a teacher-centered approach
Jones’ research began in the 1970’s by observing classroom teachers.
BACK UP SYSTEMS:
Small Backup Responses
Medium Backup Reponses
Large Backup Responses
CLASSROOM STRUCTURE:
Classroom Structure to Discourage Misbehavior:
Jones believes teachers should create a classroom structure that works to prevent behavior problems.
Two methods are:
•Room Arrangement
•Opening Routines
•Others include:
Classroom Chores
Classroom Rules

JONES BELIEVES -
In a well controlled class
Teachers lose up to 50% of instructional time due to poor control
Teachers should always choose discipline over instruction
The greatest discipline problem is wasted time by the majority of the students, not individuals (80% - talking, 15% - wandering around room)
INDIVIDUAL WORK:
Write any PAT ideas you have done in the past or planned for the future classroom. We will collect them at end of class.
