Holidays are over and it is time to continue studies at UBC and preparation for practicum. Projects are taking shape in the form of lesson plans and unit plans, nice and neat. All of the things I have learned so far at UBC are beginning to accumulate ideas in my mind concerning classroom involvement and management. I recently read a class reading called “From Tourists to Citizens in the Classroom” by Jerome Freiberg about Consistency Management and Cooperative Discipline. It includes 5 themes: prevention, caring, cooperation, organization and community. Prevention of disruptive environment so that there is no need for intervention. Cooperation: which leads to ownership and involvement. Organization: teachers can appoint classroom management positions to students. Community: creating the environment where the whole class is responsible for each other. This theory was employed in many schools in Texas and the study showed an improvement in classroom environment, student involvement, achievement motivation and helps students move towards self discipline.
