Fred Jones:

Positive Classroom Discipline

"For teaching to be enjoyable, you must be able to simply relax and teach. Classroom management must be built from the ground up so that most problems do not occur." – Dr. Fred Jones

  • Problems with independent seat work:

1)Insufficient time for teacher to answer all requests for help (“helpless handraising”)

2)Wasted student time

3)High potential for misbehavior

4)Perpetuation of dependency

  • Solved by showing teachers how to give efficient help

1) Organize classroom seating

2) Visual Instruction Plans

3) Minimize time for individual help

  • Traditional approach
  • input > output
  • overload and disengagement
  • teacher is stationary
  • Ease of Implementation
  • Omission Training
  • Backup Systems
  • Jones’ Approach

1)Small backup responses (privately)

2) Medium backup responses (public)

3)Large backup responses

  • output = input
  • circulation and interaction
