3
Seeking Self-Discipline When parents and teachers are asked to generate synonyms for classroom management, discipline is always listed. For our purposes,discipline is “to teach” students self-control, not “to punish.” In fact, punishment as a form of discipline to gain control is a last resort. PP. 80-135
4
Seeking Self-Discipline Our goal is to establish a community of bonded and connected learners; such a community exhibits self-discipline and perseverance and takes responsibility for learning. PP. 80-135
5
Bonding and connecting To have the students' attention and to make them have a prosocial attitude is difficult. Educators have competition for student attention and habits that didn’t exist just a few decades ago. PP 137-181
6
Bonding and connecting Positive relationships with teachers were more important than class size, amount of teacher training, classroom rules, and school policy. When students feel connected to their teachers, fairly treated, and a part of the school, they are less likely to use drugs, drink alcohol, or smoke. PP 137-181
7
Time and space matter Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend. How we use our time and space directly affects student learning.“Time is the coin of teaching. It’s up to us to spend it wisely.”There’s little argument about the importance of time on task. PP 183-214

Time and space matter Generally, there are four social or task configurations in a classroom: teacher talk or presentation; small-group work; whole-group discussion, and independent work. PP 183-214

Learning to Learn Teaching students how to learn requires structure and perseverance from the teacher. And it requires direct instruction of specific skills, which include time management and goal setting, as well as an environment where such skills can be practiced. PP 216-254
12
Integrating Self-Management into the Curriculum This lesson will help in providing examples of how to teach the many skills necessary for a successful classroom through the existing curriculum. These skills are not only essential for the classroom, but they’re also crucial for success on the job, In family life, and with friends. PP. 256-292
13
Integrating Self-Management into the Curriculum To both eliminate bad habits and provide for the needed repetition of good behaviors, we must immerse children in positive models. PP. 256-292
14
Preventing Misbehavior If the symptom is misbehavior, we don’t want to be guilty of stopping it with punishment and ignoring the cause. PP. 294-336
15
Preventing Misbehavior In sum, the classroom management literature tends to view management as a teacher responsibility and misbehavior as a problem that teachers have with students rather than the reverse. PP. 294-336
