From the Publisher

A student shows work to a teacher

The Responsive Classroom Approach to Discipline

The Responsive Classroom approach to discipline is grounded in the belief that we teach discipline just as we teach any content area and that students can learn to be self-regulating, cooperative, caring, and responsible.

Teaching Discipline

What Is Discipline?

How teachers approach discipline can make all the difference between whether students feel safe or threatened in our schools, motivated or discouraged, successful or defeated. It can determine whether a classroom will be orderly or chaotic and whether students will learn or flounder. And it impacts whether teachers feel fulfilled or frustrated, whether they like their work, and whether they stay in the teaching profession.

Discipline is teaching students how to control themselves and behave in ways that allow them to be behaviorally, socially, and academically successful. The ideal combination of classroom management, behavioral management strategies, and teacher leadership style can teach students to self-regulate and set them up for success in, out of, and beyond the classroom.

Three Key Elements to Teaching Self-Discipline

Classroom Management

“Classroom management” and “discipline” are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same. Generally, classroom management refers to what the teacher does to organize and manage the learning environment so that students can function independently as responsible members of the classroom community and have a sense of belonging in the academic environment.

Behavioral Management Strategies

“Behavior management” refers to the strategies and techniques teachers use to teach students to become more self-regulating, responsible, independent, caring, and cooperative. Behavior management strategies are bolstered by effective classroom management as well as effective teaching practices.

Teacher Leadership

Teachers who lead with authority strive to be firm, kind, and consistent. Their aim is to create calm, safe, and orderly classrooms while preserving the dignity of each student. It requires taking the time to teach students how to be contributing members of a caring learning community.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Every chapter is informative and easy to read, with practical suggestions to solve common classroom behaviors that interfere with learning. I'm a veteran school counselor, and it reminded me that I might need to change my approach to situations that arise in order to make sure that every child is successful. -- Melinda Ryan, Herndon, VA

Every teacher knows that it is the 'little' daily problems that sap our strength. Wilson shows you how you can approach 10 everyday behavior challenges with warmth and empathy. She manages to validate teachers, while pointing them toward solutions that will enhance their relationships with students. This is not a prescriptive book of solutions, rather a thoughtful and comprehensive approach. Yet a teacher can still quickly find strategies for dealing with a particular behavior. We are provided with the reasons why a student might in engage in the behavior, strategies to prevent the behavior, how to respond in the moment, what can be done if the behavior continues, and how to talk to parents about the behavior. Most helpful are all the examples of language to use with students and parents. Another handy addition is an appendix with read aloud books to match classroom challenges. I expect my copy will be well-worn from use. -- K. Amy Ross, Grade 4/5 teacher, Ord Terrace Elementary School, Seaside, California

Teasing, Tattling, Defiance and More provides teachers with appropriate language and other practical, concrete strategies for encouraging students and positively redirecting them. Educators will come away motivated to intervene effectively with common challenging student behaviors. --Nancy Rappaport, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and co-author of The Behavior Code

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I'm an educator with over 25 years experience as a classroom teacher, administrator, professional developer and curriculum developer. I have taught kindergarten, first, second, fifth, sixth, and seven grades in schools in Nashville, Tennessee, and San Bernardino, California.

During my teaching career, I developed a deep interest in social-emotional learning. I have spent years studying and training to learn about the importance of creating safe, joyful, and rigorous learning environments in which teachers are strongly connected to students and students to each other and how schools and teachers can create these environments.

I currently live in Riverside, California and am excited about the August 2019 release of a new book I worked on with Gianna Cassetta, The Caring Teacher: Strategies for Working Through Our Own Difficulties with Students.
