-"Models of Classroom Management as Applied to the Secondary Classroom" by Kimber W. Malmgren, Beverly J. Trezek, and Peter V. Paul The Clearing House Sep/Oct. 2005 This article give a couple of different teaching strategies and how they relate to classroom management. Assertive Discipline is considered the rewards and punishment strategy. It relies on "catching students being good" and rewarding them. When using this strategy the classroom rules and consequences for breaking them should be posted for everyone to see. Logical Consequences is a teaching method that holds the notion that students misbehaving is linked to their unmet needs. In this strategy the teacher is recommended to keep the students busy and is a preventive method rather than a method to use when students misbehave. Teacher Effectiveness Training is the last strategy. This method focuses on "I-messages." These messages focus on explaining to misbehaving students what their actions do to you and make you feel. -http://www.educationworld.com/a_issues/issues053.shtml This website speaks of bullying found in schools. The worst thing for a teacher to do is pretend that it is not happening. Whenever bullying is seen a teacher should take steps to prevent it from happening again and to help the person being bullied.
