Time: Subject:
Class begins even before the bell rings. The teacher greet students at the door, the class
period gets off to a good start. Greeting students at the door with positive verbal or non-
verbal interactions can improve student engagement and motivation. A teacher who greets
students at the door can remind them of the time when learning will begin.
Collecting Work
Collecting work, particularly homework, at the door as students enter the class
Having a specific colored folder in a designated location where students are responsible for
turning in their homework before class begins.
At the end of each lesson, the room should also be reset to its original formation, especially if
the classroom is shared with another teacher. For example, if the lesson required students to
move around and desks rearranged for group work, the room should be set up for the next
period.
PERFORMANCE TASK 2: Take some photographs of classroom structure / design that creates a
positive classroom atmosphere.
PERFORMANCE TASK 3: Design your classroom routines to ensure an effective classroom
structure.
My Classroom Routines
There are no bad kids, just bad behavior: this is the idea
behind positive discipline. Positive discipline is a discipline
model that focuses on positive aspects of behavior. ... Positive
discipline teaches children to become responsible and
respectful members of their communities.
Research has shown that children are born with the need
to connect with others, and children that feel a connection with
their family, school, and community are less likely to
misbehave. And to be successful members of their community,
children need to learn appropriate social and life skills.
Positive discipline helps teach these skills.
