What constitutes an effective discipline plan
Having an effective discipline plan is important to have in your classroom because the students will know how to behave in the classroom. An effective discipline plan comes from clarity, consistency, communication, caring and creative. Clarity will help to be clear when as a teacher you set rules and limits. Consistency will help to be consistent on enforcing the rules and their limits. Communication will help for the students to be more open on the rules. Caring will help by using encouragement for the students to follow the rules. Creating the rules with the students will help by both students and teachers agreeing with the discipline plan. A effective discipline plan will help understand what students need to accomplish on their behavior.
The role of a teacher is to UNCOVER
- Manny students do not complete their assignments because they don't understand what they are supposed to do on the assignment they are assigned.
- Both, what you are going to cover and what you want the students to learn are the same thing. The things you have to cover in your class are the things the students have to learn.
- Teachers and students spend most of the class time on the textbooks and that can be a mind-numbing environment for the students. Textbooks sometimes don't help to teach the objectives.
- I think that both teacher and students benefit from using objectives. The objectives are what assign and assess. " objectives are what a student must achieve to accomplish what the teacher state is to be learned, comprehended, or mastered".
- The goal of a test is to see where the students understandin are at.
- Mastery is when the student shows the ability to use what has been comprehended. Mastery has taken place when you see a student use or apply what he or she understands. The student can also break down, reorganize, and evaluate what is known and understood.
- Grades are important to students learning and their achievements. Because if they get good grades they will feel accomplished. "Focusing on goals or objectives makes the most difference in students achievement".
- Print correct letter shape, size, spacing, and smoothness.
- How do you write the letter "A"?
- I think that standardized state testing is wrong because many students feel bad when they don't pass the test.

If I were in charge of the world
If I were in charge of the world
I'd cancel essays,
Waking up before 7am,
Headaches, and also
Slow internet connection.
If I were in charge of the world
There'd be free pizza,
More sleeping, and also
More creativity
If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn't have lies
You wouldn't have flies
You wouldn't have commercials on the radio
Or "don't do this"
You wouldn't have cigarettes.
If I were in charge of the world
All fruits would be candy
And all clothes would be trending
