Introduction:

What is school discipline?


School discipline relates to the actions taken by a teacher or the school organization
towards a student when the student’s behavior disrupts the on-going educational activity or
breaks a rule created by the teacher or the school system.
It means a system consisting code of conduct, punishment and behavioral strategies to
regulate students and keep school and classroom in order. The aim of classroom management
and discipline is controlling students actions, habits, attitude and behavior in the classroom.
Discipline in school life is very important for students.We cant be well educated without
discipline.Without learning and the following discipline in school life later can cost students later
in their career.In scool education discipline is a set of rules & regulations that remind us of the
proper code of behavior.

Though teachers usually develop their own styles of discipline for their classrooms, most
discipline strategies can be categorized into three main styles of approaches.

1. Preventative discipline
Teachers with effective classroom management strategies establish
expectations , guidelines and rules for behavior during the first few days of class.
Clearly explaining expectations is an essential component to preventative
discipline. The goal of preventative discipline is to provide proactive interventions
to potential disruptive behaviors by clearly explaining to students what behaviors
are and are not appropriate.
The most basic component to preventative discipline is a concise outline
about classroom expectations for students as well as for teachers; students need
to know what is expected of them for the remainder of the class. Such guidelines
might include rules regarding talking, homework or language use in the classroom.
A preventative discipline strategy also establishes the types of consequences that
will follow a forbidden act of behavior. Preventative discipline strategies create a
safe, none confrontational classroom atmosphere in which students feel that they
understand what is to come.

2. Supportive Discipline
Even the best laid preventative discipline strategies may fail periodically
throughout the school year. When a teacher offers a verbal warning or a
suggestion for correcting behavior while a student is disobeying an established
classroom rule, the teacher is using supportive discipline. Supportive discipline is
distinct from punishment in that it provides a student with suggestions and
options for correcting a behavior before a consequences is necessary. For
example, if a student is wandering around the class after a teacher has announced
it is time to sit down, the teacher may say, “ I made the announcement that it is
time to sit down. Find your seat so we can get started or I will need to hold you
after class.” The student has been given the option to accept or avoid further
punishment; the behavior has been redirected through a teacher’s supportive
non-verbal communication are all examples of supportive discipline.

3. Corrective discipline
When a student has failed to redirect her behavior after repeated attempts
at supportive discipline, a teacher may opt for a corrective discipline strategy.
Corrective discipline refers to the set of consequences delivered to students
following an infraction. There is a wide degree of a wide variation among
corrective discipline strategies, some more effective than others. For example,
engaging in a verbal altercation with a student is a corrective discipline technique,
but it may escalate a volatile situation and undermine your authority as a teacher
and leader. Corrective discipline strategies should be adapted to the student’s age
or grade level; though placing students in a time out maybe effective for
kindergarten highschool students are match less likely to comply with such
provisions. Consistent application of consequences is a essential component of
corrective discipline strategies
