1. DISCIPLINE WITH DIGNITY.
The very first time when I read the title of the document, I thought about the
dignity that is handled in the class room, and then reading through the
document, I realized the importance of managing discipline in the
classroom.
I strongly believe, that following a particular code of conduct in the class
rooms is very important to maintain order. The school rules is very
important, this regulations defines what behavior is expected, for example
the correct use of uniform, the classes schedule, ethical standards, etc, .
I think, is very important to teach the kids and the youths the difference
between acceptable and unacceptable behavior, and don’t forget that
effective discipline should take place all the time, and not only when kids
misbehave.
About punishments and rewards cannot be the solution, and sometimes
are ineffective; someone has to be at the moment to administer them,
because this would cause the child to react only to those stimuli. The
recognition can be shown by the affection without having to make any
material gift.
About good rol models on discipline, kids and youngsters, choose models
for themselves as early as preschool years, and they just want to be like
those they have chosen, so, as an advice, teachers must try to be
respectful, loving, and care with your students, because they see
everything, and some day they will copy that behavior. Also we, the
teachers, we need to develop approaches, techniques and strategies to
develop responsibility in youth, make clear about democratic atmosphere,
as, involving students in the process of making new rules and guidelines;
how to solving problems, skills in resolving problems, how to offer an
apology, let the anger go, etc.; about the defined limits, teachers need to
emphatically support of nonviolence, caring, cooperation, and respect. And
remember the best way to show corrective behavior is to model it. All

2. these can make a big difference in helping young people make responsible
choices.
The most important fact, is create a safe learning environment that
encourages students how to handle serious incidents like fighting and
bulling, and how to live in tolerance, building values, support, encourage
and motivate each other.
