CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT IS NOT DISCIPLINE Discipline plans have rules
Classroom management plans have procedures
A procedure is a method or process for getting things done
Procedures simplify the task of succeeding at school
No learning takes place when you discipline
Learning takes place only when a student is at work DISCIPLINE concerns how students BEHAVE.
PROCEDURES concern how things ARE DONE.
DISCIPLINE HAS penalties and rewards.
PROCEDURES HAVE NO penalties or rewards.
