  Case: What proactive techniques would you use to prevent discipline problems in your classroom?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would discuss how I believe that rituals and routines are the most important thing you could do at the beginning of the school year to help with discipline. When students know expectations then fewer disruptions should occur. I would also discuss how I would create a caring family environment and have lessons at the beginning of the school year to promote respect and kindness among each other. Finally I would discuss positive reward systems for good behavior and focus on the good and not the bad.
