Description

This classic video lecture by acclaimed educator, author, and lecturer Harry K. Wong outlines how to have a well-managed classroom. Dr. Wong discusses how effective teachers have positive expectations for student learning and success. They manage their classrooms through procedures, routines, and a well-developed discipline plan. Discipline deals with behavior - how we want students to act. Discipline plans have consequences, punishments, and rewards. They are designed to stop students from misbehaving by setting and maintaining limits. Procedures deal with how we want students to do certain things. Procedures are designed to keep students on task and doing their work. Continually rehearsed procedures become automatic routines that make the class feel comfortable. It makes the class a secure environment conducive to student learning because students know what's going to happen?
