DESCRIPTION
This course provides a broad range of experiences focusing on what has become one of the most
perplexing problems facing today's educators. What teacher behaviors are necessary to maintain a
proactive rather than a reactive classroom? How can children and adolescents learn how to behave
in responsible ways in the context of classroom life and at the same time feel valued and respected?
A variety of models and approaches will be examined: communication, democratic, behavior
modification, social learning /cognitive, and school-wide approaches. Other topics to be explored
include parent-teacher communication, mentoring, humour, and legal and administrative issues
related to classroom management and discipline.

underlying assumptions.

• clarify and articulate one's own goals and values concerning classroom management and
discipline.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT AND DISCIPLINE
This course introduces students to the major principles and applications
associated with a variety of models of classroom management. Through the use
of theoretical summaries, practical illustrations, and critical analyses, students
are encouraged to understand and assess these models as they might be employed
in classroom and school contexts. No one approach is advocated over the others.
Rather, the aim is to help students to comprehend each model and its claims, to
evaluate the coherence and appropriateness of the theories and methods
advocated, and to develop their own ideas concerning classroom management
based on such understanding and assessment.
