Classroom discipline is something that all teachers have in their classroom, regardless of what age, gender, race, intellectual ability, handicaps, and other aspects that their students have. The topic of classroom management is important in education because it affects all classroom teachers. Even individuals in higher positions, such as administrators and superintendents, have a discipline plan.
My background in classroom discipline largely has come from courses I took in college at the University of North Florida, professional development courses I have taken as a teacher, and what I have used in my own classroom. At UNF, I took a course titled Classroom Management that presented different aspects of the classroom and potential solutions …show more content…
131), employ democratic principles (Shin & Koh, 2008, p. 25), and incorporate more interactive and engaging learning for students (Corzo & Contreras, 2011, p. 62). According to a Chilean study by Larenas, teachers may use proximity control either to the student or moving them near the teacher’s desk. As a result, student behavior often adjusts to the behavior that is expected by the teacher (Larenas, 2012, p. 131). Using this disciplinary strategy “helps teachers to organize themselves in the classroom environment, to develop awareness of their teaching processes, and to deal with learners’ misbehavior and confront disciplinary solutions (Camenson (2007), McDaniel (1986), Rose (2006), Sicurelli (2010), as cited in Larenas, 2012, p. 131). Research and reported experience for teachers shows that by using a strategy that does not involve verbally reprimanding the student for their behavior, it does not affect the flow of the lesson.

For teachers, it is important to meet in formal settings like courses and conferences, but also with one another. Classroom discipline is a plan that is in place for students, but if teachers can stop the behavior before it needs to even be employed, that would be ideal. (Shin & Koh, 2008, p. 13)
One of the studies that I reviewed analyzed the use of PDCMM (Professional Development Classroom Management Plan) for at-risk students (Reglin, Apko-Sanni, & Losike-Sedimo, 2012, p. 6). Teachers were in an 18-week training session which used books, discussions, and observations to change a classroom management plan and the number of referrals written. (Reglin et al, 2012, p. 6) The data collected shows that the difference in classroom discipline made a significant change in the number of referrals written, going from 130 to 6 in a 90-day period. (Reglin et al. 2012, p. 10)
If I was a researcher conducting a study on classroom discipline, I would identify differences between mainstream students and ESL (English as a Second Language) students where teachers are teaching the same lesson and using the same classroom management plan. The teacher may then be able to identify cultural differences that impact student
