"Prevention is better than intervention," this was emphasized in Wong's video about discipline and procedures. I totally agree with this ideology because I also think that if rules and proper behavior were established at the very start than discipline wouldn't be an issue or problem inside the classroom.
Establishing credibility as teachers play an important role in facilitating discipline inside the classroom for the value of respect is being emphasized. An effective teacher must have positive expectations for student learning and success. They are also able to manage their classrooms well through procedures, routines, and has a well-developed discipline plan.
Rewards and punishments are also part of discipline for discipline involves behavior and our goal as teachers is to elicit positive or good behavior from our students. These are designed to prevent or stop the misbehavior of students by setting and maintaining limitations or restrictions.
Procedures on the other hand are designed to keep students preoccupied and focus on the tasks given to them and it promotes active student involvement. This is important and effective if established on the first day of school for it is the perfect time to teach, model and practice procedures and more importantly it promotes an environment more conducive to learning.
