Teacher Caused Discipline Problems

Teacher caused discipline problems arise from a number of sources:
a. Lack of preparation
b. Inadequate training in discipline techniques
c. Attitude toward students. 

Students respond much better to teachers who teach students the subject matter rather than teach the subject matter.

The best discipline tools are:
a. Knowing your subject and your topic
b. Caring to convey that knowledge to the students
c. Have fun learning and telling your classes about what you learned, even in areas not related to your classes 
d. Be honest with your students (They can see through masks' and screens')
e. Don't expect to know all things (Don't project the impression that you consider that you 'know all things') 
f. Graciously and gently give your students some room for error and they will do the same for you
g. Be aware of what it means when students are auditory, visual, or kinesthetic
h. Don't be manipulated into wanting them to like you (Aim for respect; then they will like you)
i. Don't be a buddy (They have contempt for teachers they can push around, and they have hate for arbitrary, willful, and otherwise unfair teachers) 
j. Be fair
k. Don't punish the entire class unless the entire class is at fault (Note: if the teacher will analyze the problem there is almost no situation where the entire class is at fault)
l. Don't attempt to control a class with your physical strength. 

A teacher is more effective keeping discipline on a societal, mental, ethical, and emotional plane.

The process is often assisted by a facilitator. Inquirers will identify and research issues and questions to develop their knowledge or solutions. Inquiry-based learning includes problem-based learning and is generally used in small-scale investigations and projects, as well as research. I had a chance to attend one of the workshops by Kath Murdoch for teachers of Australian International School - Indonesia and she stated 10 Practices of the Effective Inquiry Teacher: Practice 1: Work in ways that challenge more students to think more deeply more of the time Practice 2: Effective inquiry teachers teach students about thinking Practice 3: Effective inquiry teachers deliberately provoke curiosity and wonderment Practice 4: Effective inquiry teachers invite students' voices into the learning process Practice 5: Effectiv...
