Discipline (Correcting inappropriate behavior)

Correcting inappropriate behavior is very essential. Violence and discipline are serious problems in education system (Joneses, pp. 58-65). Traditional ways of correcting misbehavior (i.e. punishing for misbehavior) were not useful especially at the stage of adolescence. The best way in my classroom will be to form a strong relationship with students that show seeminglydiscipline

unacceptable behavior. Such behavior could
be the result of losing a sense of belongingness
in the family or society. I believe that these
students need care and want to be listened.
Adequate understanding of the source of the
 problem will be useful to provide the necessary advice. My problem solving principle will be like watering the roots to enjoy the fruits.  It means the cause of any undesirable problem  must be clearly identified to pave the way for future peaceful progress of the learning  atmosphere in the classrooms. 

Generally, I will be a caring, good listener and also an authoritative teacher who will be firm and consistent with my communication to students.  The following steps will be implemented to correct in appropriate behavior in my classroom.

1. Non-verbal cue and verbal cue
2. Warning
3. Delivery of consequences: move student, call in after school, detention, down to the principals office.

I believe that, with the classroom management plan written here and particularly with the relationship that I will build between the students and my self and among the students will help me achieve our goal that is set for the academic year. Finally, as part of my classroom management plan here is a sample of letter that I will be sending to each parent of my students (letter to parents).
