10 Ways To Improve Discipline In School 🏫

Make learning fun. Make education interesting and relevant to the students’ lives. Poor planning and a full curriculum can provoke disruptions.

• Praise good work, good responses and good behavior.

• Don’t threaten or use sarcasm. Never use threats to enforce discipline. Never humiliate a child.

• Avoid arguing with students. Discussions about class work are invaluable, but arguments can become emotional encounters.

• Be mobile, moving around the room as students work or respond to instruction.

• Keep your voice at a normal level. If “disaster” strikes and you trip over the wastebasket, don’t be afraid to laugh.

• Grade assignments and return them as soon as possible.

• Give reasonable assignments. Don’t use schoolwork as punishment. Give clear directions.

• Keep rules simple. Establish as few classroom rules as possible, and keep them simple.
