More Tips
· Prominently display copies of the discipline codes and let students and parents know
where it is kept.
· Maintain dated personal documentation of individual cases and what actions you
took.
· Avoid public verbal confrontations with students. When a discussion is headed in that
direction, cut it off immediately. Arrange a private talk.
· Avoid physical confrontations with students. Have a contingency plan in place to get
help if a fight erupts.
· Be creative. If you are teaching young students who seem unable to sit still, try taking
breaks from time to time and have them do exercises at their desks.
