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.
