Ineffective Classroom Management

No child left behind makes

all student scores in regards

to state testing
accountable.

Discipline students need to
be monitored and
discipline needs to be
maintained in the
classroom.

This makes it hard for
some teachers and requires
good planning.

The Donts of Classroom Management

Do not publicly discipline a student as this will lead more off task

behaviors.

Do not lose control of your emotions as they will learn what

buttons of yours to push.

Only refer students with disciplinary referrals for major

infractions as you are handing over your problem to someone

else.
