The formal power structure within the organization has been explained. The suggested strategy is one of collaboration and cooperative efforts in which all team members are involved in decision making processes which can be termed to be a process of "consensus" whereby each team member feels that they own the decision and therefore will contribute more genuine efforts at success in the process. In management and initiative and other efforts in the R&D position the key words for handling the social and political aspects within the organization are those of 'collaboration, cooperation, consensus, and connectivity' which are vital and necessary tools in gaining support and in the creation of an organizational-wide effort that results in productivity for the organization.

Increasingly, Courts are understanding that clothing that depicts sexual acts, coarse language, bodily fluids, or offense and bigoted messages disallows an appropriate educational experience. One response to this is a school dress code at one end of the spectrum, and school uniforms at the other. One can debate the efficacy of these provisions, but the basic difference is that the Tinker case was classified as a non-offensive protest (a black armband) as a Constintutional right, but blatantly offensive images or clothing that hinders learning, is unproductive and schools have a clear right to regulate that behavior (State Court and Lower Federal Court Decisions).
Moral/Ethical- By the time we reach school age we have a basic understanding that there are often consequences for our actions. Within the model of classroom management there are various ways a teacher can model behavior, modify student's behavior, and change the manner in which that student…...

These include listening to students, expecting students to listen attentively in return, creating rules that students follow directions, ensuring students provide and complete school work on time, and insisting students demonstrate appropriate self-control to limit disciplinary problems in the classroom (Givner, Lynne & Pierson, 2003). When teachers clearly outline these expectations to students, it is more likely students will respect them. Poor adjustment occurs when teachers do not clearly define their expectations for students, and then provide them with a learning environment that is respectful, and one that caters to individual learning abilities and personalities.
Why Meaningful Content & elevant Content is Important
Far too often students complain of boredom in the classroom, and this can lead to behavioral problems and disciplinary problems in the classroom. Teachers can avoid this by providing meaningful and relevant content to students. Students that learn interesting and meaningful content can also apply their knowledge to…...

Analysis -- Assertive discipline is a behavioral approach to home and classroom management that involves a high level of teacher or parent control. Sometimes it is known as a "take back control" approach, since instead of allowing students and extraneous events to control the classroom, the teacher is fully in charge. The underlying theory for this approach maintains that teachers must establish rules so that the learning process is uninterrupted by misbehavior or other passive-aggressive time wasters (McIntyre, 2008).
Part 1 -- Using assertive discipline in Mrs. ansler's class would require that she place a structured and systematic approach…...
Some teachers make the mistake of providing too comfortable of a classroom environment for their students, which students find too distracting and the students only want to socialize with other students and the teachers. egardless of whether or not a teacher occasionally socializes with their students, it's important that the teacher remains a mentor and an authority figure to the students.
Nothing should interfere with the process of learning. That being said, teachers should assess their classrooms from day one in order to pick out any specific details, which may inhibit learning. These details can immediately be changed, whether or not it's the layout of the classroom furniture, the placement of materials, posters on the wall, etc. Teachers should also be aware that a classroom layout may need to be changed after the first day or two (or even month) of the classroom meeting. Once students become comfortable in their…...

The University of New Orleans' College of Education maintains a web page dedicated specifically to topics of interest to classroom management. The web site, which can be found at url http://ss.uno.edu/ss/homepages/cmanage.html, contains a thorough set of links that can guide the prospective student or professional educator toward finding other websites of interest. The parent web site for the University of New Orleans' Social Studies programs can be found at url http://ss.uno.edu/. Although the University of New Orleans' classroom management website is not easily accessible through popular search engines like Google, and although it can be a little bit tricky to locate the classroom management links directly through the department's home page, once found the set of links will prove invaluable for the graduate student or professional educator. The team members who maintain the website are named as Mary M. Banbury and James H. Miller, whose e-mail addresses are offered…...
Teachers should watch closely as students enter the classroom at the beginning of the period. This is a time when problems may be present to the teacher. If a teacher suspects that a student may have a problem during class, the teacher may be able to head off the problem before it begins. For example, if a student walks into the classroom with a negative outlook, the teacher might speak with the student before class begins. This not only may allow the student to vent, but the teacher may also get to the root of a possible problem before it occurs within the classroom.
Students should be made aware of discipline guidelines and rules from the beginning of the school year. ules should be posted within the classroom, available in handouts and should be discussed on a regular basis. A teacher should never create a rule unless they intend to enforce…...
Allowing students to choose between three books to read for an in-class assignment or to select from a variety of topics for research papers enables students to feel invested in the process of learning. Even when reprimanding students, stressing they always have a choice is essential: they can choose to do their homework, for example, four days a week and be rewarded by no homework for the weekend, or if they do not turn in their homework on time they do not get a reward of a free weekend, and a reduction in their grade because the paper is late.
Creating an environment where it is 'easier' to be responsible is also helpful. For example, writing down all assignments that are due on a dry erase board, so students are constantly confronted with the deadlines for various projects makes it harder for them to forget. Having differently colored folders for…...
As with all responsibilities and duties of a teacher or other classroom leader, preparation is a fundamental aspect of behavior management. Developing a comprhensive and detailed understanding of the needs of classroom management and the processes that can fulfill those needs is essential before even entering the classroom.
Once a full strategy for achieving a well-managed and positively supportive classroom has been developed, the teacher must then adhere to this plan while teaching in order to maintain consistency and provide clear and ongoing expectations for the students in the classroom. This consistency should actually be an explicit and entirely integrated part of the classroom management system, as without such consistency there will not be any shared understanding of the practices and behavioral expectations, and the entire system will essentially be obsolete (Young & ichardson, 2007; Koza & Smith, 2010). The teacher has a responsibility to treat all situations and students…...

Low-structured classrooms have more dialogue between the teacher and the students as well, according to PAW (2009).
Capizzi (2009) notes that it is easy to visit a variety of classrooms and see how each one has its own style and its own feel. Teachers can get very creative when it comes to structuring and decorating their classrooms, which is nice, but teachers have to be careful that they organize the classroom in a way that supports and encourages teaching and learning. For example, how the desks (both teachers and students) are arranged, as well as how bookshelves and tables are arranged, and decor -- all make a difference when it comes to creating a supportive classroom (2009). While decor and arrangement is vital to a supportive classroom, Capizzi (2009) also states that taking the students' ages into account is also quite important. On another note, students should be able to…...

above). Seating Edward near the teachers desk results in less external distraction, more hands-on management, and while the teacher may need to review instructions because of the lack of proximity to the chalkboard, Edward will have fewer distractions and be able to focus more on his work.
While there is no "ideal" classroom seating arrangement because of the differences in the classroom makeup, age of students, and activities, I believe that the classroom should not be static. Student desks are easily moved, and as long as the teacher's desk, computer station and chalkboard remain stable, then I would likely have two ways of organizing the room:
A -- Lecture, film, presentation or group even in which I wanted all eyes on me, minimal collaboration, testing, individual work, etc. Note that in this arrangement student contact is limited, students who are behavior or attention problems would be seated in the first two…...

I often read them books about children from different cultures getting along together, and we also sing songs related to different cultures. Also, when a child asks me a question about why certain children look different or speak differently, I answer them in a loving and honest manner.
I feel it is important to help each child feel accepted in the group, help children learn to communicate and get along with others, and encourage feelings of empathy and mutual respect among children and adults. Therefore my goal is to encourage social interaction that promotes togetherness without eclipsing individuality; and to encourage communication skills that are socially acceptable but not overly constrained.
Some of the activities I provide to promote social skills and cooperation include:
Group games such as telephone and "who has the button?"
Group sing-a-longs
Eating together at the same time in the same area

Classroom management is one of the greatest stressors American teachers cite with respect to their jobs.. Teachers feel pressured by the demands of increasingly stringent curriculum standards and results-oriented, high-stakes testing. Many believe they could teach much more effectively if they did not have to deal with so many behavior problems. For these reasons, it is interesting to explore behavior problems from the perspective of Chinese elementary school teachers, who work in an environment Americans perceive as more highly structured and strict.
Researchers surveyed 527 elementary school teachers in five Chinese provinces. Although their perception of time spent on classroom management was lower than reported by teachers in the U.., 34% compared to more than 50%, Chinese teachers reported frustration with the amount of time wasted in addressing behavior issues (hen, Zhang, Zhang, Caldarella, Richardson & hatzer (2009, p. 187). The researchers began by interviewing a small group of teachers…...
