ch 7 - charles

Chapter seven talking about the Jones’s Approach. His approach is all about discipline through active student involvement. This includes seating arrangement, reducing help that is seeked by students, interactive teaching, constant monitoring and adjusting, incentives for correct work, and program of responsibility. In regards to my feelings on classroom management, I would say that I have to agree with some of what Jones says but not all of it. I most definitely agree with the interactive teaching and his program of creating responsibility. Interaction is great. When there is interaction, the class is generally closer with one another because they feel close enough to interact and maybe bicker or argue a point. People don’t do that with people they feel uncomfortable talking to. Another point I agree with is the developing responsibility. One of the keys things to having a good classroom management plan to have students become responsible human beings. They love being in charge of things and feeling as if they own some it. Let them do it. Odds are that they will listen better If you do. Involvement is everything. Take it when they give it!
