Achieving Classroom Management Through Preventative Discipline
Key Ideas:● Ripple Effect● “Withitness”● Overlapping● Movement Management
○ Smoothness○ Momentum○ Group Focus and Accountability
![Page 6: Jacob S. Kounin - vanguardschool.ca · Who is Kounin? Kounin is a classroom behaviourist theorist Best known for his two studies done in 1970](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021711/5b32f1f57f8b9a2c328dd5c9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Strategy 1: Ripple Effect
● By correcting the misbehaviour of one student it can positively influence the behaviour of another
![Page 7: Jacob S. Kounin - vanguardschool.ca · Who is Kounin? Kounin is a classroom behaviourist theorist Best known for his two studies done in 1970](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021711/5b32f1f57f8b9a2c328dd5c9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Strategy 2: ‘Withitness’
● Awareness of what is going on in all parts of the classroom.
○ Teachers have eyes on the back of their heads!● Classroom layout benefits the teachers
ability to see all students at all times.

Strategy 3: Overlapping
● When teachers can effectively tend to two or more events simultaneously.
● Students are more likely to stay on task if they know that the teacher is aware of what they are doing (body language).

Strategy 4: Movement Management
● Smoothness:○ Smooth transitions between activities.
● Momentum:○ Appropriate pace and progression through a
lesson.● Group Focus and Accountability:
○ Keep the whole class involved and interested.

When Managing the Classroom, Try to AVOID
● Dangling: ○ Teacher leaves a topic and introduces
new, unrelated material
● Flip-flop: ○ like dangling, except that the teacher
inserts left-over materials from a previous lesson

Avoid…● Thrust:
○ teacher forgets to give clear instructions at the appropriate time of a lesson.
○ Teacher must then re-explain the instructions to each student on an individual level.
● Stimulus-bound:○ Teacher is distracted by an outside stimulus and
draws the class’s attention to it.

Classroom Applications● Be aware of what is happening around the
classroom.● Intervene before misbehaviours escalate.● Use routines, explanations and smooth
transitions to gain the attention of the students.● Keep all students involved through constant
supervision and accountability.● Reduce off task behaviour and boredom by
creating challenges, extending tasks, providing progress and adding variety.
● Be able to attend to more than one event at the same time.
Note: Classroom management is most effective when these applications are applied at the beginning of the school year.
