Why Whole Class Discipline has No Place in your Classroom.

Whole Class Discipline. While we might call it different things: Discipline, Behavior Management, Creating a Classroom Climate, most teachers have engaged in whole class discipline. It's really any time that a teacher rewards or hands out consequences based on the behavior of a group, rather than the actions of an individual.
​Does any of this sound familiar?
  • Keeping kids after the bell as a consequence for behavior
  • Taking time off of recess as a consequence for behavior
  • Stopping an activity (or saying we can't do an activity) because of behavior
  • Collecting puffs or jewels or coins in a jar, allowing kids to earn rewards for whole class behavior.
  • Placing tally marks or minutes on the board to represent how quickly a whole class can get quiet or focus

Lessons learned as a middle school parent

10/10/2017

I've worked as a middle school educator for almost twelve years. I can easily channel my inner twelve year old, jetting myself back to my own junior high experience (yes, I was in 7th and 8th grade back when it was still called "junior high"). This year, however, is different. My oldest son is now in seventh grade, experiencing middle school at another school in our district. He loves middle school -- he's having fun and learning a lot. And I too have learned so much in these first few weeks as a middle school parent, already transforming my thinking as an educator. So in no particular order, here are just a few of the lessons I've learned so far.
