Classroom Discipline 101: Effective Classroom Management Techniques
I am a parent, and I know we all want what is best for our kids. We want them to be safe in school, and to be able to learn effectively [so they can become doctors and pay for our retirement years =) ].
In all seriousness though without a classroom that is calm, quiet and respectful learning is down right hard if not impossible.
That is why I am recommending Craig Seganti's book Classroom Discipline 101.
Who is Craig Seganti?
And why should I buy his classroom discipline book?
Craig Seganti's successful approach to classroom discipline: "Classroom Discipline 101"-will be featured in the upcoming 10th edition of C. M. Charles's book Building Classroom Discipline, to be published in June 2010. Charles' text has been the industry leader in classroom management and classroom discipline techniques that work best for teachers and students.
Craig Seganti has been a teacher in Los Angeles' schools for the past 20 years - so he knows a thing or two about classroom discipline and effective classroom management plans. He had to learn fast or he'd have been eaten alive! Craig has:
- Taught over 11,000 different secondary students in the inner-city and elsewhere around Los Angeles of all ages, abilities and ethnic backgrounds.
- Been a full time teacher, long term substitute or day to day substitute in over 80 secondary schools.
- Taught juvenile offenders in the Los Angeles County Probation Camps.
Mr. Seganti (or Mr. Classroom Discipline as he has been called) has had to deal with some of the most difficult students this county has to offer, and guess what? He has no classroom management problems what so ever! Do you know what that means to the success of his students? I'm sure you do, you are a teacher right? It means his students actually learn!
What a novel idea - students actually listening to your well prepared lesson plans - and enjoying it! I'm not a teacher and I get excited by that.

The book you NEED to get your classroom under control
Classroom Discipline 101:
How to Get Control of Any Classroom
"I really NEED this, my students are driving me crazy!"
Or, maybe you just have one or two students that rile up the rest and you are pulling out your hair trying to figure out the best plan to get them all to listen.
Well, you are in luck - for a limited time, if you act now I will send you a FREE, yes I said FREE link to his sales page - WOW!
What, you're not impressed? Ok, I have a bit to learn about internet marketing, but I figure he can explain his classroom management plan the best so I'll just point you in the right direction and he can tell you why you really do need this highly successful book on Classroom Discipline so you can create your own classroom management plan that works.
Quick Note (or not so quick): I link to Craig's sales page throughout this lens. He sells his methods in the form of an e-book that you download. His ebook is being sold through Clickbank and while many times Clickbank products get a bad name from spamy promotional methods I whole heartedly endorse Craig's eBook. I've spoken with him directly and his methods are working for teachers all over the world - it really is inspiring to see the success teachers are having with his methods.
Classroom Discipline Debate
Who should be disciplining our children?
My father has been a teacher for 40 years, and I know that there was a student or two that caused a few problems in the classroom. But these days classrooms have changed, the horror stories we hear and the difficulty teachers have with students has gotten way out control. Without an effective classroom management plan I just don't know how kids learn anything.
So who is responsible for our children's behavior, us as parents or should teachers "teach" proper behavior?
What do you have to say - let the debate begin...
Who should be disciplining our children?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byParents are responsible for their children's behavior
eddygobbo says:
The process should start with the parents disciplining their toddler so that he/she understands that there are consequences for their actions. All children need to know that they are loved, it builds positive self-esteem. Teachers do their utmost to boost the self-confidence of their students, but the origin of a self-confident child is a home filled with unconditional love.

We've created a horrible catch 22 for ourselves. We have parents who breathe down teachers' necks - so teachers have no authority, no rights, and no ability to manage students. Then we have parents who don't even bother to raise their kids at all, let alone properly - so we have students that ruin it for everyone. I think it's time that parents get their acts together - if you don't want kids, don't have 'em!

Parent's no doubt, and most aren't doing a very good job n my oppinion teachers need are having to pick up the slack in managing bad behavior

If children are brought up at home with respect and discipline they will bring that to school and their interactions with other students. Teachers can aide students in learning how to behave but the ultimate responsibility is with the parents.

Teachers should teach students how to behave

Sorry for my typos. I am extremely tired....probably from giving our state's standardized test for the past 3 days to kids who could care less...most of them anyway.

I too teach in an inner city school and have for the past 6 years. Behaviors are bad. No respect and not appreciation for education. The bring to school what they learn at home. America's youth are in real trouble.

A teacher's job is to teach, what else should we pay them for? Might as well throw in a few extra bucks for babysitting as well...

If teachers had an effective plan for classroom discipline then perhaps children in America would learn a little respect, some of them are getting out of control in my opinion.

Craig Seganti's Own Words on Classroom Discipline
Classroom management and classroom discipline blog
Mr. Classroom Discipline's own words and experiences in managing his classrooms. I'm sure he has quite a few stories he'd like to share on his 20 years of teaching some really tough students.
And of course in his book Classroom Discipline 101 he reveals his "secrets" so you can have the same success with your classroom management plan. (one last plug before I go)

http://www.classroomdiscipline101.com Maintaining Classroom Management is different in today's schools. Inappropriate classroom behavior is epidemic. This is an introduction to my eBook Classroom Disicpline 101: How to Get Control of Any Classroom for the teachers of today. There are definitely new and different problems in the modern schools, and teachers are not given the tools they need to do the job. What is supposedly the 'best research' often does not resemble reality. My paradigm is that behavior problems should not be a part of the teacher's day, and teachers can achieve excellent management by taking control of their environment through leverage and accountability. My system works in even the toughest schools; I know, because that's where I teach. Students in my class are held accountable for all of their actions and I teach that you must find the leverage to back up this philosophy. That's when these methods and techniques insure proper learning.

Kind words and success stories about Classroom Discipline 101
If you need any motivation what so ever take a look at his "success stories" page (go to the Classroom Discipline home page and click the "Testimonials" tab at top) - there are some pretty moving letters from teachers who have had success with his book. Below is one of my favorites:
Craig,
I just couldn't be more thrilled, and amazed with the transformation in my work day.
I have two thirds of the football team in my 3rd block class and never thought I would see what I now see every day! They are huge and wild and hyper just out of lunch and a few minutes of unstructured recess before my class time, but now I catch them collecting themselves right before the walk through my door! Then 90 minutes of carefree serious teaching and learning with quiet and respectful students follows. (P.S. We still have fun.) When they leave, not a scrap of trash is on that floor. I am amazed.
Thank you, again. Virginia

- Hello Annette. Thanks for stopping by. I would say definitely yes from what I have heard from other teachers. I've spoken to Craig and he has had lots of success with his method in countries all over the world not just in the US. Good luck, and I wish you well with your teaching.

- I am from the West Indies and here, generally, teachers go to the student's class as oppose to the opposite in America. Can anyone tell me if Craig's book would help a teacher like me.
The book sounds so good and I'm so anxious for a solution right now. I wish I had a sneak preview NOW ....I need help NOW.

- I teach high school and there are times when my students drive me crazy. Some of them don't understand the concept of discipline and have absolutely no respect. Some of them treat their parents worse than their teachers. Fewer and fewer young adults are going into teaching. The low pay AND lack of respect is a real turn-off. When my generation of teachers retire, the schools are going to be left with no one.
Great lens

- Great lens and great tool for classroom management. I have worked with many teachers over the years and observed one extreme to the other. These strategies and tools will assist teachers and aides in getting control over their environment and concentrate on the importance of instruction.
