Discipline/Classroom Management

I really enjoyed this presentation particularly because they outlined the difference between punishment and discipline. Most teachers and parents resort to punishment, and at times it is needed, however the importance of discipline is much greater and if we as teachers can provide discipline instead of punishment then our students will be much better off. I also really liked the scenarios given, I thought they prompted great problems that all teachers are likely faced with. After discussing the scenarios, I understood the importance of finding out why a student misbehaves, skips class, etc. Why being the key component to every solution, and to also involve the students in solution is helpful and beneficial. Their presentation was filled with useful facts and information on material widely discussed across the educational system. I like how they provided three different styles of classroom management, obviously the middle being the best. All in all, great presentation with great information.
