Discipline Plan

          I learned during my autumn observation and winter through spring student teaching how to teach and discipline my assigned 7th grade classroom at Perry Middle School in Lake County.  These are not “bad” kids, just normal, wiry 12 year-old adolescents.  I would post a banner, possibly in glittering hand scripted calligraphy, with these three phrases only:  “Treat others as you want to be treated,” “Treat all possessions and property as if it were your own,” and “Remember, all of us are still growing, including your teacher.”

          Professor Harry R. Noden influenced me that less is better.  Too many rules complicate the process of learning.
