Responding to a child's behavior

Reflection Week 13

How a teacher responds to student behavior can make all the difference in how efficient the class is and how much learning takes place.  The root word of discipline is disciple, or “follower of a teacher”.  I love that.  If we can learn to be shepherds for our students to follow instead of sheepherders who drive the sheep from behind, we could find so much more success.
Here are just a few thoughts from the chapter I really liked.
Teachers who talk with and treat students with respect are likely to be respected. 
Having clear expectations and establishing classroom routines encourage positive behavior through creation of a positive learning environment.
The most effective prevention strategy is to have a positive and caring environment
