To effectively manage the classroom, Bible teachers need a good grasp of basic principles. Discipline issues will often be prevented with these basics in place. And, strategies for dealing with misbehavior will grow out of these basics.
Classroom Discipline Helped by Knowing the Basics
Steps can be implemented before even stepping into the classroom. Certain methods of teaching and ways of treating the students will tend to produce cooperation and participation which in turn will eliminate misbehavior. Every time a teacher violates one of these principles, he/she opens the door for possible problems. So, make sure your teachers have a good grasp on the basics.
